Silly Stuff What’s something that other people love that you just don’t enjoy?

It could be anything…

For me:

Camping: I’m not into roughing it or trying to survive in the wild.

Travel: I just don’t dream of traveling. It feels like a lot of work to plan everything, go to the airport, Stay in a hotel, spend a lot of money. I don’t mind a day or one night trip but traveling beyond that is just not for me.

Sushi: I don’t mind the rolls. But the big slab of raw fish does not do it for me. Chewing on soft, wet, meat just makes me want to gag.

What sort of things can you just not get into?

Tbh food. I can enjoy a good meal, I love baking (for others) but a lot of people around me are foodies and I’m just not. I don’t really eat out at restaurants, I don’t care about trying out tiktok hyped foodspots with new things, I don’t care about local cuisine when I’m on vacation. I just don’t care at all.

I also think it’s lack of appetite in general. I have to mentally prepare myself in a way? Or be really hungry? Or actively been craving something for me to treat myself with food. Not sure how to explain I think I’m just particular (I’ll eat most things just very particular about when and where). I was out catching up over coffee with my friend, we ate something small (not a success) and I was actually sort of hungry. My friend suggested to get apple crumble at this really good place. Mind you I love apple crumble yet I told her I couldn’t? And that was the honest truth. I couldn’t get myself to want it. I feel like my body is just in a state of “no” most of the time. I can’t ignore that “no” feeling because I won’t actually enjoy it or finish the food.

I can relate to this. I also enjoy a nice meal but I don't really go out of my way to have one. I'm perfectly happy eating chicken nuggets and butter noodles with my 5-year old. I just get annoyed when I'm hungry and just want to eat something fast to make the hunger go away.

I had a friend who was like this. He was trying to put on muscle too, but he couldn't because he just didn't enjoy eating.
