Who wants to be my friend?

I would but I think there's someone who dislikes me and I don't want to escalate it further, sorry.

Honestly you're so hard on yourself... I doubt there's ACTUALLY anyone who dislikes you here. You've only just gotten here and have not said a single rude or mean thing.

Try to have a bit more self-confidence. I know it's hard... it kinda goes along with being on the spectrum. But it's important.


Anyway, if you'd like a friend, you can try talking to me. Though note that I can sometimes take quite awhile to respond, I'm easily distracted and I have just about the strangest sleeping schedule you'll ever see.
 
I can eat anything. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Curry for breakfast. No problem. Spicy Pizza at 3am in the morning , also no problem.

Spot the tautology! ;)

Pizza can be nice for breakfast too, good use of leftovers. Italians made calzones (foldover pizzas) especially to make them portable for work, as is true for English pies and pasties. I like their combination of crunchy top crust and extra-stretchy mozzarella because baked covered in crust.

I am obsessed with nut butter.

One problem though... I don't know how, but after cancer treatment, I became allergic to nuts. I can have most of them in the house, I just can't eat them. But with peanuts, I can't even be around them, there's this dust that comes off of them that makes it hard to breathe.

I truly miss almond butter with great sorrow. Freshly ground almond butter is life.

So I've learned to swap out goat chevrie instead of nut butter. OMG if you want to feel fancy and eat something truly scrumptious, put chevrie and jam or honey on toast, and eat it like a PB&J. You can thank me later.
 
@Yeshuasdaughter, sometimes what people think of as a peanut allergy can be an allergy to either additives in a packet of them (e.g. with spiced peanuts), or to fungal spores that can co-occur with some peanuts, and sometimes even residual agricultural chemicals. I was thinking of that because you mention the dust off the peanuts gives you troubles. Of course, it's possible you are allergic to more than one of these, and the best way to find out precisely is with an allergy test (pure allergens put on forearm scratches by allergy specialist and reaction scored, size of hive measured etc).

Worth considering though. My husband has a bad reaction to certain types of wine, and it's not actually the wine, it's the additives in that wine (sulfur dioxide).
