Pass it over here, I think it looks delicious!
I wished it was easier to make.
It’s sooooo good, though! I just had some last week!
Look at the other side instead?
I have eaten in an Ethiopian restaurant once and didn’t enjoy it.
Their food is way too spicy and the Injera too sour.
Of course this is just my taste… Others may love it, specially if spicy food is their thing.
Looks like a delicious fungus!
Meh. It’s delicious. Choose to see the beauty in it for that reason, and give your reflexive reaction to it the boot. 🤘🏼
Hah, that’s kinda what I’m trying to do. When I encounter something that gives me the ick, I take pictures and stare at it, in the hopes that it will desensitize that gut reaction. Only had very mild success so far.
You might try combining sensations to overcome aversion like that, instead. Choose something that you get much enjoy the sight, sound, taste, or feel of and interact with that while also engaging gently with the item/experience you’re averse to. 🤗
You dont really grok what phobias are, eh?
