This is the same for me. I find it so dumb. I've had many attempts trying to eat fruit but i just have a visceral reaction that tells me i cant do it. It's almost like a fight or flight reaction, like thats how anxious and fearful i get when i attempt to eat fruit. I used to be worse about it when i was younger and would litterally gag in smoothie shops. My dads the same way too. i didn't think it was a legit phobia cause it's not like if someone shows me a picture of a piece of fruit or dresses up in a costume ill start running for the hills. It's just the act of actually eating a physical fruit i just cant do. I fine when it comes to juices ( i drink a glass of orange juice every morning) or fruit flavored things and just equate that to what the actual thing tastes like or equate the smell to taste. I always chopped it up to a texture thing but i dont know. just happy to see im not the only one....
