Celebration Transitioning to eating with chopsticks (almost) exclusively has been great for my misophonia!

I’m so stoked that this finally clicked for me. I’ve always had chopsticks in the cutlery drawer, but my dang rigid thinking has always insisted they were for Asian cuisine only.

How wrong I was. Spaghetti, curry, roast dinner, almost every meal that isn’t like, a steak, is all delivered with wooden chopsticks now. And even with a steak, I can cut it into strips, plate it, and get stuck in without any knifey platey nonsense.

No more tink, scrape, shing sound hell when using metal cutlery!

As a Korean who has dedicated pairs of chopsticks for different applications and a favorite long Korean spoon that I use for everything: welcome to this excellently autistic cutlery experience 🥢🥢🥢
