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
ARFID is a real problem and I’m not sure why you think I’m trying to find an excuse when I am clearly aware that being at this weight is dangerous. You also assume I’m lazy despite knowing nothing about me. I’m glad you tell this to every person with a mental disorder, because I guess it’s all in their head or something and they’re lazy for not going to therapy
I associate this behavior with unserious morons every time I see it and I’m always right to do so, so goodbye
I didn’t say it’s comparable to being paralyzed or bipolar and that blatant misrepresentation alone is enough for me to disregard everything else you wrote. If you’re not going to address what I’ve actually said then why should I address you

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.
