*overwhelmingly

so if i Cook or Eat veggies they basically have to be completely disguised, or masked by surrounding food

i get that i should just grow tf up and get over myself, and that it would be understandable if nobody had sympathy for this. but im wondering if anyone HAS experienced this

it is both the Flavor and Texture of Most Vegetables that makes me feels ill. green, earthy flavors, and bitter flavors, are things i really struggle with. they always taste overwhelming pungeant and acrid and like dirt basically, WHICH I KNOW IS NOT OBJECTIVE!!! thats why i hate this so much

leafy veg actually illicits retching in me, which i find massively embarrassing. i cant even eat lettuce in a burger. if i get side salad with a steak meal, i always have to leave it, like a manchild.

i hate being such an embarrassment with this. for years, extended family (who, in fairness to my main family, are horrible ppl generally, who we've since cut ties with) would mock/chastise/call attention to me at the table for not loading vegetables onto my plate.

i know how dumb this all looks.

if i do eat veggies (often fried in lots of sauce, and with egg noodles), they have to be chopped veeeery thin or they just make me feel sick??
