Being a picky eater isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is. You don't have to share your food, and you always know what you want to eat at your favorite restaurants because you always get the same thing. On the other hand, it's a major dilemma when you have to bring your own food to your friend's house, or when everyone is constantly pressuring you to try new and disgusting foods. Either way, you're a picky eater and no amount of new foods or restaurants can change that, even if you're ostracized for your childlike eating habits.
1. You have to look up a restaurant's menu beforehand
You have to have a game plan when going out to eat. This includes searching the menu in advance for something halfway appealing. Anyone that's a picky eater knows the struggle of trying to get away with ordering off of the kid's menu because you can't find anything else you like.
2. Bringing your own food to your friends houses
Anytime you go to hang out at a friends place for an extended period of time you have to bring your own snacks. It's not their fault you can just never find anything you like.
3. All your food is so plain but so good
You can order your sandwich at subway in less than 10 words (bread, cheese, meat, done!)
4. Ordering at restaurants is complicated
If you actually find something you like you usually have a list of different things you have to ask the waiter to take off of your meal. And if your order ends up containing one of the dreaded foods that you hate, your meal is probably ruined.
5. You are constantly made fun of for your strange eating habits
6. Wanting to throw up when your food or someone else's food is touching
Nothing is more repulsive than multiple types of food, on the same plate, all touching and running together. Certain foods are just not meant to be together.
7. Your friends and family are constantly asking you to try new things, even when they know you won't like it.
8. When the same friends and family trick you into eating a certain food when they know there is something in it that you don't like
9. When you're asked the dreaded question, "So what foods do you not like?"
The list is immensely long, you might as well just say you don't like any food and you never eat because that's what other people think about you.
10. Sharing food is out of the question
You think the food everyone else eats is disgusting, and they think the same about your food, so sharing is never an option.
