When someone has ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), their struggles with eating certain foods aren’t about being picky or difficult. It’s not just a preference — it’s often tied to deep fear, anxiety, or sensory overwhelm. People with ARFID deserve compassion and support, not judgment or pressure to eat like everyone else. Their experience is real and valid, and shaming them only makes it harder to cope and grow. You’re not alone in your struggles 💖
