I’ve never had a fever.
Yes you have.
Bullshit. You would never have survived infancy.
I can’t decide if that’s good or bad.
Bad. If you’ve never had a fever, check for AIDS, and not the peanut butter kind.
I’m an American and I’ve never had a burger or mac & cheese. Isn’t autism so fun? Yipee!
How does autism affect whether you’ve had mac & cheese or a burger?
(This question is not meant to be accusatory at all, purely curious.)
ARFID. Has a common link to autism, but autism serves as a more overarching issue for me. It’s my refusal to accept therapy due to some weird complex that’s also a problem.

Hey, that one I totally get (as a non-autist, but with ADHD and there’s some overlap/camaraderie there).
When I was in college I had a really positive experience with therapy, overall, although my therapist did (rightly) encourage my parents to get me into inpatient psychiatric care for a few days when I was at my lowest point of depression. That inpatient stay was extremely beneficial for me, I came out of it much healthier and in a better place, but I was also brought there against my will.
Since then I’ve had a weird thing where I cognitively know I should go to therapy, but I just cannot bring myself to do it. I fully understand inpatient was the right call, my therapist did the right thing, therapy is very helpful, and there are plenty of other therapists anyway. But I still have this like, nagging anxiety about it. Loss of freedom can do weird things to the psyche.
Fortunately I’ve had some recent positive experience, since my wife and I decided to go to some couples’ therapy (nothing serious, just wanted to make sure we can have as healthy a relationship as possible) and it helped a lot. So I’m starting to reconsider the whole notion.

The first wedding I ever attended was my own…and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn’t get or were already married my entire life.
Still never been to a birth or a funeral.
I’ve never eaten lobster. I’m not the slightest bit tempted to eat your bug meat that’s only palatable when slathered in butter.
Honestly it’s relatively flavourless. Have Crayfish in NZ instead. Smaller animal, far more flavour.
Never went to public or private school until university.
- graduated high school and college without ever taking a dedicated biology or chemistry class.
- never broken a bone.
- never stung by a (live) bee (have stepped on a dead one, though).
- can’t say “never” any more, but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.
- have smelled, but have never even seen marijuana, let alone smoked any.
but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.
What? You never went to hospital?
I’ve never been stung by a bee either! I’ve had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee’s version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in “their” territory. … My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they’ll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It’s wild.
How could you tell the bee was dead when you stepped on it and not killed by you stepping on it?
I didn’t even see it. My brother, unhelpfully, said it had been there a while. We were pretty young, so I never questioned it. Maybe I should have.
Yes ! … So, what about you ?
Believe it or not they’ve never stolen anyone’s lunch money…
That’s ccunning, ccunning. Just saw their name
I started this thread thinking I’d have the bravery to answer my own question. I’ve got a few heavy hitters. But I hesitate because, altogether, they would probably make me uniquely identifiable.
Hi, do you know you have a quite revealing username 😋 ?
Phoebe!
is Phoebe a user name ?
It’s a Friends reference (and now a spoiler, I guess). Sorry, am boomer.
Thanks friend :)
i didn’t watch television for the last 10 years and didn’t ever watch an episode of this TV series ! (hard to believe things that i did not do !)I totally get it! I stopped watching TV in 2000.
Things you haven’t done make you uniquely identifiable?
He hasn’t done two chicks at the same time with his two cocks, yet.
In my mid-40s and never have gotten a cavity.
38 here, same. The only dental work I’ve had done was orthodontics.
I’m 38, I’ve had a few cavities, but somehow never a proper cavity search.
You should ask your TSA agent the next time youre at an american airport
Not many people can say that. You must pay a lot of attention to your brushing.
Someone can feel free to correct me but I’ve read that it’s also partly genetic.
It has to be genetic. My partner brushes AND flosses and I’ve never flossed and had a period of my life raving and staying over places without a toothbrush. Brushing sometimes. I’m in my late 30s and have never had a cavity. They are 30 and have had lots of them.
alls Ill say is : I could turn you inside-out, with what I choose, not to do. Seriously though im way nerdy and introvert type but im in my 50’s so like eventually you do things. Never smoked though or taken a non prescription drug unless you include alcohol. Oh kratem but did not really have any effect.
Do you mean other people wouldn’t believe we’ve never done it or that they wouldn’t believe us if we said we did due to being so associated with never having done it?
The former
People often don’t believe I never went to vocal therapy or anything. Some people are skeptical of my NZ accent since I’m not anywhere where it’s common and ask if it’s artificial. If anything, it actually used to sound more Maori-ish, but certain neurological symptoms when I was little caused it to Kiwify. People think I’m just attention-seeking by having an accent I never asked for.
Never learned to ride a bicycle.
Heyo, me too! I tried as a kid and busted my knee when I fell off, and gave it up.
I’ve been afraid of falling since I was very very young, so that’s what led me to never want to ride :)
I’ve never watched a football/soccer match. Sure I’ve seen some guys running on a field in the news, or sat in a bar with some screen in the background. But I have never watched a match in person either and have no interest in doing so.
I’ve never watched a hockey match, which is our local religion.
I don’t like or watch hockey but I won tickets to a Canucks game once. It was pretty cool. My favourite part was the timbits team or whatever and it was just a bunch of like 4 and 5 year olds falling all over the ice at half time.
WHAT
I’ve played hockey. You can’t touch me, the covenant still holds.
I’ve never seen a human being other than through glass
Lifetime glasses wearer?
Nah, they’re an alien. Probably been to a human zoo or something.
Take me to your Cheetos
You’re gonna have to explain that one.
I’m still a virgin.
I believe it
Ok
I’ve never had sex with a virgin.
Ok
Never had sex with anyone but my wife. Met her at 17. Now approaching 40.
That’s hard to imagine.
