I’m 41 years old and have neophobia. I stick to maybe 5-10 food items,...which are all things you would find at an 8 year old’s birthday party. I only eat hamburgers (plain), pizza (pepperoni or cheese only), chicken sandwich or strips (always plain), and steak (I like meat...plain lol).
I was diagnosed with diverticulosis about 10 years ago which I’m sure is due to my diet. I have a fear of eating other things...but I want to strangely enough. I absolutely hate eating at work events because I either don’t eat or pretend to. People by now know of my issue which only makes it more embarrassing as it becomes the subject at the table.
