I’m almost 40 and since I can remember, I have always had an issue with the look, smell, and texture of foods. I have this insane fear of putting food in my mouth and not being able to get it out fast enough. I gag easily as well. I wish I could be like other people that look over a menu in a restaurant and are like “hmm, I think I’ll try this” and in my head I’m freaking out. What if you hate it?! What if it smells gross?!
