Things i hated and never liked as a kid

Post Reply New Topic

I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this as a kid?

I basically have always disliked certain things that others liked. Such as food fights, pillow fights. Anyone else experienced this?

I never liked food fights. I liked to eat too much.

I consider food fights disgusting and wasteful.

I did dislike things that other kids like, such as colouring, which I thought was boring.

I never liked food fights. It is wasting good food. Also it leaves a mess that other people have to clean up.

Pillow fights are a different manner. They are almost up there with roasting marshmallows on an open fire. Great fun provided the pillows are not ripped apart in the process.

Never been in a food fight, but I don't think I'd have liked it at all. I like watching custard pie fights on TV but I wouldn't want to be part of one. Pillow fights I could probably have handled and enjoyed, though I can't recall whether I was in one or not.

Everybody dislikes some things that some other people like. If you're talking specifically about the two things mentioned, however, then I have no experience of them, but I guess I wouldn't like them if I had.

10 years old, in the village boys in school were bananas about motorcycles. They had off-road ones they'd ride on the football field by the council estate and there was a woods next to it and plenty of farm and moorland about they'd go on. They'd come to school and be joking and bragging about the stunts they'd pulled off and hijinks they'd been up to. My parents were skint and I had zero interest in it because to me it was dangerous. I knew subconsciously I didn't have the physical co-ordination.

I like many things, but I also dislike many things. Whether others likes it or not.

And both didn't changed regardless circumstances as a kid. Most of it since as a kid.


Through, I'm more like neither liking or disliking things, than either or more so than both.

Don't remember ever actually engaging in a food fight. Nor even being invited to join one.

But do remember mom and dad admonishing me to "stop playing with your food!! !!".

So since I was not above playing with food solo I probably would have joined in with other kids in using food as ammunition in group play had the occasion arisen.

Even as a kid I thought most other kids were brats.
I didn't like food fights because it's stupid. I didn't bang my cutlery on the table at our residential school trip and shout 'dinner, dinner, dinner' when the homemade food was a bit slow. I did splash other kids when swimming but I didn't do it for fun - I did it out of revenge. I hated/hate tunnel slides especially into water. A lot of this is like how I don't like getting drunk now. What is the point of deliberately losing control... I will never understand that.
Mum was over the top though. I could only go to soft play when I was with my dad or at one place. She wouldn't let me go anywhere (a soft play place) she didn't know. I didn't mind it always. I only minded the things like tunnel slides and the kids who wanted to act like brats but I could be quite happy myself in a ball pool or going down a regular slide or riding on a punching bag or punching a punching bag etc.

Thank you all for replying

I agree that it's wasteful . I just remember it being a thing as a kid, food fights and thought what's the point in it whilst theirs kids starving elsewhere and wouldn't want to waste food.

As for play fights, always thought they were dangerous, I even heard that some people have had strokes or died from blood clots ( sorry too much info) as a result of turning there heads from being whacked with a soft toy.


fifasy. I can relate to that too, having fear of doing something, knowing it's dangerous and not having the physical co ordination.

I hated the color pink, dresses, my sister's stupid Polly pockets she wouldn't let me draw unibrows on, most adults, most kids, humanity as a whole, music, poetry, the whole of america and more.

As a kid, hamburgers were only meat and bun, no condiments, lettuce, etc.

This thread is already hung up on food fights...that was but one example.

I think what the OP is getting at is that experiences that are unpredictable, loud, noisy, potentially messy, require physical coordination, and are about a whole group interacting in tandem are usually off-putting to kids with Asperger's, while seemingly quite enjoyable to most neurotypical children.

Yes, OP, I can relate. Ties in with my adult dislike for super loud music in already loud and dark environments (mainly bars) that everyone else seems fine with.

As a kid, I was never crazy about dodge ball, but most of the other kids (the other boys at least) seemed to love it.

Although not as obvious, this also qualifies: I always hated it when the teacher would tell us to work in teams or groups, and leave it up to the kids to naturally pair up. I was always the odd one out. Even if there were an even number of kids in the classroom, the other odd one out would often pretend not to notice me and try to join up with another pair, making a trio. The other kids all seemed to like this "team-up" crap, but it was hell for me.

I imagine if I were a girl with Asperger's, I'd probably hate group jump-rope with the other girls on the playground.

None of my skewls ever had a single food fight so I didn't know they were very common. I thought they were mostly a TV show & movie created thing.

I didn't like various things boys my age were supposed to like. I HATED sports & hanging out with other boys cuz they would bully me. I preferred to play on the swing with the girls which caused me to feel I was born the wrong gender. Being teased for it contributed to that feeling.
