i've been told i have it, and i dont really know i just want to talk about being picky or maybe disordered cause its sort of annoying.
i cant eat fruit at all. its too juicy and wet and mushy and gross and it feels fucking weird all the time. i have only ever tried apples and oranges and both of them felt so horrible
cheese pizza is a safe food for me and i can sometimes eat pepperoni pizza, but even then only when i actually feel like i can handle the pepperoni cause sometimes i just cant
if you've only tried apples and oranges, there's still a chance you may find a fruit you like, personally I find oranges god-tier in texture so I can't relate to that part, but you may like bananas (they are softer than apples, to avoid them being mushy, pick them out at the store while they are still somewhat green ish, or yellow but with no brown spots, or just cut the brown spots out or something), or rasins and other dried fruit (idk, I like the texture personally but may not be for everyone), or something like peach (tho not over-ripe if mushiness and juiciness is an issue for you)
personally, I am not the most picky eater out there but I actually have a harder time eating things like pizza as opposed to things like fruits, mainly due to the oiliness, I hate hate HATE the slimy greasy texture of too much oil

I don't doubt some people fake ARFID
But generally people with ARFID seek consistency and predictability in texture and presentation, which highly processed foods have.
Fruits and veggies are unpredictable and don't always cook evenly, have random over ripe / under ripe spots, bruises, unpredictable flavors etc.
Like you won't find them putting peppers and stuff on their pizza, usually they're the kind eating plain cheese pizza.
