Is it normal that i hate sugar?

I am averse to eating sugar and despise it. Especially if it's in the form of dessert or a chocolate. In gatherings, when I politely refuse to eat sugar, people don't understand me and I get bullied for not enjoying it. What can I do?!

    A simple no thank you should be sufficient. If pressed on it, dont offer up an explanation, thats where the judgement starts to flow. Just simply say, "im not feeling desertish tonight" should be sufficient.

    You don't need any refined sugar at all in order to be healthy. So there really is no issue here.

    Maybe just say "thanks but I don't feel like it". If you say this enough times someone is then forced to just shut up or look like a weirdo pusher.

    I despise chocolate cake, and all forms of chocolate flavoured things, desserts etc, so I kind of understand your situation. People simply don't understand when you say that you don't want chocolate cake, or brownies, and assume that you must be on a diet or have something wrong with you. The endless questioning on the matter irritates the fuck out of me.

  • Don't do anything you don't want to. Nobody really cares anyway, and they're just teasing. You're way better off for being averse to sugar.

  • Why’s it matter how your taste is on something we all got opinions maybe those people are good judgemental assholes to stay away from. I don’t like eating much of it cause it’ll fuck my stomach up. You even said you do it politely plus not like it’s some amazingly healthy best food options that everybody loves. They’re the problem if they can’t accept someone not wanting something.

    Hate sugar all you want! However, there's sugar is healthy food as well. Examples are fruits and granola products. Not to mention, we need sugar in order to function properly. Sugar is like our positive switch. If we don't have something sweet, our positivity will be impacted. I'm not saying, eat pastries every day. I'm saying, to have a healthy diet is to have a healthy form of sugar.

    Well unless you want to be cranky all your life

    I think its normal to not like overly sugary things. I for one, dislike eating more than 1 cube of chocolate at a time, but you'll find as you grow up your tastebuds will change. You might not like sugary stuff now, but you might like it in a few years time! Just because you don't like it right now isn't so bad! If anything, from a healthy perspective, cutting back on sugar can do wonders for your body, so long as you're still consuming natural sugars found in fruits, or veg. As long as you have a balance diet, then you should be fine and chocolate/desserts are more of a treat thing and the average person shouldn't have too many of them anyway

    Do you preach to others people about the evils of sugar, and white flour by any chance?

        Well, that's good, because I can't stand it whenever preachers to me about how his, or her diet. Maybe you are surrounded by people who are assholes? Who are these people? Are they family members, friends, coworkers, or other students?

            Hmm... then try with the simple, "no, thank you", with no explanation. Honestly, I hate when people give me shit whenever I say no. You couldalso say that you are full, and couldn't eat another bite.

            Just out of curiosity, why do you avoid sugar?

            • It's not that I don't eat it at all. I take sugar in the form of fruits and have few bites of chocolates occasionally. I have eaten a lot of sugar when I was little, but as I grew up, I developed a strong dislike and I don't know why my taste buds reject it. But I'm not avoiding it for health reasons.

    Just say you're diabetic.

    Honestly anyone who judges someone on what they don't wanna eat is a fecking moron and shouldn't even be in your life.

    I hate sweet stuff thats basically just sugar and food dye.

    Just say "No thank you". After the third time whoever is offering you sweets should stop, unless they are pushy idiots.

    I enjoy some chocolate, cake, pie, or whatever from time to time, but I refuse to eat garbage sugar sweets.

    Actually, scietists say, if they knew now the ways sugar hurts humans it would be banned moreso than other drugs.

    Dont be an asshole for refusing sugar. Like dont make a big deal out of it. This is exactly why people hate vegans.

    • How exactly does that mean being an asshole? It's my choice to eat or not to eat. Vegans impose their ideology on others and that's why people hate them. I'm not doing that.

        I am guessing people make a big deal about the fact that you do not want sugary desserts, like this -

        Them - Want some cake?
        You - No thanks, I try to avoid sugar.
        Them - Oh come on! This is really good! Just a little won't hurt!"

        In that case, maybe take a more direct approach like, "No, sugar tastes like puke on a pile of shit."

        OH get this though - I was in beauty school with some annoying-ass vegan lady and one time the school had a cook-out for us students. Hamburgers and hot dogs of course. But anyways the vegan lady usually sat at my table and I sat down with my hamburgers and she sat there pinching off her nose like a GOD DAMN 5 YEAR OLD and saying, "I can smell the meat". She was 38 at the time. I wanted to tell her, grow up you stupid bitch.

          I hate such vegans... I try to be as blunt and as rude as possible whenever I deal with one. I also love telling them I'm a hunter and have shot mamy ducks, rabbits, deer and wild hogs. (even if my real total kill count for 7 years has been 2 ducks and one quail... I'm a lousy hunter)
          I want them to know I'm the essence of evil XD
          Damn grass eaters

        I feel like when you discuss your reasoning to other people it appears to them you are being a sugar vegan.
        Also not eating sugar Is very weird if you ain't somehow allergic or diabetic or something. If you are a standard human being then liking sugar is pretty much the same as liking air.
