[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't think of a single food that I won't eat. I find picky eaters really tiresome. [/quote]
Hey! So do we!
- every emotionally mature picky eater. Just leave us alone and we’ll eat it what we like (and bring a dish we like, too, if the situation calls for it)[/quote]

Op isn't complaining about your type of picky eating. It's the type that "requires" special treatment that annoys op. [/quote]

Op sounds thin skinned and is filling blanks for other people’s motivations (like most of us also do here on this site…)[/quote]

It sounds like OP has borne the brunt of hosting for a long time for a group of picky people with demands and shifting “needs” who don’t reciprocate or even offer to bring dishes. No thanks. Why are you taking that personally, if you are so “emotionally mature”? If someone else’s behavior doesn’t describe you, then it doesn’t apply to you, now does it? “Emotionally mature” people tend to understand that.[/quote]
Hello, I’m the pp who used the phrase “emotionally mature” (8:49) and you’re not replying to me immediately. I’m also the person who posted at 8:47. So I’m taking things personally in as much as I already don’t enjoy being picky. I hate it. I hate the hate we get online - which I could ignore except that it obviously represents how people feel about picky eaters and I don’t know you, but I don’t like people trying to imply that I’m a child because of food preferences.

I also said I’d love to bring along a dish if it’s appropriate. So your anger in your reply at to whom you think is me is a little misplaced. [/quote]

The point stands that you are telling us to “leave you alone” when—if you are actually the type to bring your own food and not make yourself anyone else’s problem—you are not the type of picky eater anyone in this thread is describing. You’re taking umbrage and being sensitive when—if what we’re describing doesn’t apply to you, then it simply doesn’t apply to you.

We all know the difference between “subtle” picky eaters who take care of themselves and the attention-seeking types who expect everyone to cater to them and are annoying beyond. If you are a “subtle” picky eater, then there is no need to tell us to “leave you alone,” because we aren’t talking about you or annoyed by you.[/quote]
