Oh my god, realizing more trauma around food!
"Oh my god, you're so picky! You hate more foods than you like! Is there even anything you do eat?"
Yes, I have preferences of the kinds of food I like. I also have autism, which makes me super sensitive to food textures, and I cannot eat things with bad textures. I still get embarrassed and anxious when I tell folks that I don't like a certain type of food, especially foods that are very common or "universally loved". It opens me up to being called picky, or just as bad, having me not liking something "universally loved" be blown out of proportion with exclamations of "how can you possibly not like this? This is the best food in the world and you're weird and wrong for not liking it!!! God you're so weird and picky!!! You've just never had a good version of this food, so I'm going to force you to eat it to convince you to like it!"
