As a 19 year old, it's so reassuring that there are other and even elder adults with similar stories as mine; I never thought I'd be able to live past 20. For as long as I can remember, family and friends just say that it is a phase I will grow out of, yet here I am still only eating a plate of chips and maybe some slices of bread for "dinner". It's horrible to be left out of conversations about how good something tastes when I have no clue what anyone is going on about. I have tried more foods later in life as I've learnt to be more strict with myself after dealing with a bout of Depression because of a relationship ending, but they've been things like Fried Chicken and Pizza, fast food etc. And now that is becoming a problem because when I eat these foods, I feel normal and feel like I finally fit in so I continuously eat them and I'm putting on a bit of weight - I do go to the gym to counter-act this, but now that my diet only really consists of fatty or plain "why-is-he-only-eating-that?" foods, it makes everyday a real struggle. It's definitely the texture of foods that make me feel anxious, I remember going through a stage of trying various things like a banana and it just made me gag and wretch. I hate it and I hate when someone asks me "How can I NOT like *insert blank*?!" ...I just don't know.
