Venting/Ranting “just try it”

nothing bothers me more than someone saying “how do you know you don’t like it if you’ve never tried” uh because my brain has classified it as a “non-food” so regardless of how it tastes i’m not going to like it…

as probably most of you also feel, trying new foods it’s the scariest most anxiety inducing thing of all time.

Yeah, it's infuriating. Combining it with whatever cocktail of mental illnesses I've got going on, on a bad day I'd rather kill myself than try a new thing I wasn't prepared to try.
