Yes thank you for this safe place!! I've always been picky with food. I thought it was due to being in control after my parents divorced when I was 7, However my mum tells me I was picky even before that. My young nephews seem to have the issue too. Which sadistically makes me feel better, that it's more of a genetic problem rather than me being the problem.
I've always been made to feel like I'm a nuisance but I have a fear of trying new food like I think it tastes bad before I've tried it. I'm scared that I would never get rid of the taste. I know it's irrational but I can't help how I am. Because this is me, I eat fruit and veg so I can be healthy I'm just not very varied when it comes to choosing a meal. I have got better, I do think that is down to surrounding yourself with the right non judging people who'll making feel at ease rather than shamed
