I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

There is legitimately nothing I hate more than wrapping presents. I am so phenomenally bad at it I end up panicking and sweating. Is this some built-in people pleasing boiling point, or a lack of my brain fundamentally being unable to interpret 3d space? Is anyone else cursed with this affliction? 🫠
