Is it normal to not like eating?

Depends.It depends

It’s not unusual to find eating more like a chore than a pleasure, especially sometimes. If eating feels upsetting or you’re often unable to eat enough, that’s worth paying attention to.

Some people simply don’t get much enjoyment from food, or find planning, preparing, and sitting down to eat tedious. Stress, low mood, sensory preferences, and changes in appetite can also make eating feel less appealing for a while.

The key difference is whether you’re still able to eat enough and feel okay. If avoiding food is making it hard to get enough nourishment, or you’re losing weight without meaning to, consider talking with a healthcare professional. You don’t have to wait until it feels like a crisis to ask for help.
