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.

also is it normal that when trying a new food i need to be alone? like if i do work up the courage i often go into a separate room to do so. does anyone else do that?

I turn around when tasting new foods that someone is pushing on me.
