I find this so hilariously annoying and wonder if anyone else suffers this:
I have trouble putting small food into my mouth with my hands. I've taken up eating dry fruit and nuts lately and I miss my mouth a lot.
Would this be a trait at all? I'm clumsy as hell anyway.
I find I’m more likely to miss my mouth when using cutlery—soup spoons are a particular problem for me as I either seem to hit the side of my mouth, my bottom lip or my front teeth.
Like others, I’ve spent my whole life walking into furniture, door frames, door knobs and stubbing my toes on pretty much everything... and being told off by my mother for “not taking more care”. (I didn’t get dx’ed until I was 30.)
It’s better since I bought my flat as I have quite minimalist furniture, mostly slim-line things or multi-purpose things, wide walk ways and everything else is wall-hung. For the first time in my life now, I don’t have cuts and bruises all over my legs.
I'm terrible with soup spoons too... I end up putting my whole mouth around it and looking like a right oddball
This really made me laugh! I used to do that as a kid!
Maybe I should've grown out of it I still eat soup like this alone and tend to avoid eating soup in public (or it takes me ages to eat while I awkwardly sip it from the spoon).
