Is it normal to not let your food touch?

Sounds like OCD to me.

It's normal, and yes it's a form of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). I have OCD as well, but not about foods.

OH MY GOD!!! I can't believe that there is someone else out there like me! When I was a child, I insisted on my parents getting me those plates with the T.V. dinner like compartments, or ridges in them so that my food stayed seperate, and T.V. dinners were my fav, not because of the taste but because of the compartments. As an adult, I use regular plates but if something is going to run into oyher food, I put the runny thing in a seperate bowl, or sometimes I will put something under my plate to tilt it towards the runny food so thatit doesn't touch.

I can't believe I found a kindred spirit! Please write back and go into more detail about how you keep your food from touching! Lots of love!

i do that too! especially if i make grilled cheese and i have ketchup on the plate and the sandwich has been touching the ketchup and gets kinda soggy. i have to cut off that piece usually lol. i try to eat everything on separate dishes too. some flavors are NOT meant to be together!

I totally do that! I eat one thing at a time and after finishing something I always have to wipe my plate clean with a napkin before putting something new on it. And like the commenter above, I hate when restaurants give you some sort of sauce on your plate and it saturates all your food! Yuck! People think I'm picky- but what's so bad about that?!

I'm told I aint normal for doing this but I have heard a few other people that do it... I hate going to a nice resturant cuz they don't care and u get mashed potatoes with gravy and ur gravy poors onto everything else.. CANT EAT IT THEN!! I think ur normal but not many other people do.

I do the same exact thing! It's just an OCD, but it's normal.
