What was the saddest realization that you have ever had about yourself or your life?

That I'm an outcast- because of events that happened when I was two my dietary has made me a very problematic person. In essence I can't go round friends houses because questions would be raised when I wouldn't eat what the parents offered this would make them question me and feel strange around me. As a result I this I never had a close personal friend that I saw all the time growing up. Not to mention that again because of this I absolutely despise and refuse to have or consumer alcohol or any drugs- I end up just wacyhing others be off their face which I don't feel like I miss out on but those that do don't feel like they've bonded with me. Relationships are gonna be bad when the partner discovers my dietary requirements since it'll mean I won't do any of the restaurant outings that's in typical date/going out fashion. I also always deny any sort of food offered to me as well because I know I'll gag and be repulsed if I eat it- seriously earlier on this year I was in a social situation where all my friends wanted pizza and I has to go along with it, pay, attempt to avoid eating it and then when they noticed an called me out on it I has to try to eat it. I fucking spat that disgusting shut out my mouth and immediately ran out to get water to remove the taste. All of them unanimously were in disbelief an the usual comments of "your so fussy" came out again every time I'm in one of these situations. All this leads to me feeling isolated, different and an outcast to everyone else. The best part is that I realised this at 11 years old (18 now) that due to events that occurred when I was 2 (a in I don't even remember it happening) I'll always be different to everyone else.
