Yup!
It's very much an emotional reaction thing for me. Discovering things you can't do any more - or figuring out how to do them differently. The difference in how people see you or you see them. Shrinking in spurts is a bonus because it can call back the panic when the heroine is trying to concentrate on something else. Hence unaware shrinking can be dull to me.
Clothes falling off sounds fun in theory, but it practice the images often come across as vulgar to me. I think it is some technical issue that I don't know how to describe or fix.
