What weird hangups do you have?

Like pet peeves or rituals with food or common things you can't tolerate or intensely avoid.
I can’t touch certain synthetic fabrics. They make me want to scratch my skin off.
And socks. I’m very very picky about socks.

@ProdigalSummer Funnily enough, I can't touch raw cotton without getting the heebie-jeebies.

I hate touching raw meat. I've considered just being a vegetarian when I move out so I never have to cook it.

@SW-User That's what I'm talking about. A good friend of mine cannot eat a sandwich someone else has made. MAJOR anxiety trigger for her.

And I recommend vegetarianism, or a healthy supply of latex gloves. :D
I always have to remove the tomato and cucumber from my burger... and I eat corn kernel by kernel lol

I'm a very picky eater with all kinds of hangups about food.

@SW-User I used to be pretty mean about picky eaters until I learned about how much of an anxiety issue it is for people. I go out of my way to be accommodating now. I don't wanna be that asshole.

@CountScrofula I have dangerous allergies to fish and nuts, and I went through a lot of misery as a child before they figured out what was happening. After that I was intensely afraid of trying new things. I can't eat anything with unknown ingredients. It's hard to hide fish, but walnuts lurk in every delicious chocolate waiting to kill me.

I also find a lot of food very disturbing to eat, much of it counterintuitive like peaches and gourds. It makes it a gruelling exercise to finish them. It's something to do with the texture that provokes a horror reaction in me, and I have no idea why.

On the other hand, I love Brussels sprouts and broccoli and other food kids traditionally hate.

I need to have lipbalm on at all times or i go mental. I need to have water with me always. I wash my hands a few times before I do anything (and pace, typically). I have to leave the room while the toaster is on because not knowing when it's gonna pop freaks me out and I've dropped knives enough times now.

Uhmmmm there might be more, but that's enough hahaha.

@caccoon You've got quite a healthy collection!

Or unhealthy collection? 🤔
