[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is her main activity and she makes the prep for it last all week. [/quote]

OP here. That does compute. She does not have other hobbies or interests.[/quote]

NP with a different theory: could she have agoraphobia and or anxiety?

Might she only be “comfortable” in her own house?

I recognize the cancellations for outside activities and also the extreme fussiness, hyper focus (and uneasiness) with everyone while in her house.

That's an interesting insight. At the very least, I do there there could be anxiety involved. I don't know much about agoraphobia, but I'll research it and see if anything adds up. Thanks. [/quote]

OP, if she is hanging out at friends houses I don’t think this it is. I think the food is her love language and her way to contribute is the key.  I just visited my parents, who  I have not seen in 18 months due to COVID. Two separate nights I planned to cook dinner ( I am not a cook, but I have a few dishes and was happy to cook for them). Do you think my Mom let me make an entire meal myself (I’m in my 40s). No way, she HAD to also make..this..and that.. and a ham..and rice and peas. Were my feelings hurt, yes. Did I say anything to her..no.  And yes, my food is tasty as reviewed by many friends and my picky sister.[/quote]
