The adult world isn't always easy to function in when you're a picky eater. You try to change your ways, but sometimes chicken nuggets are calling your name. You like your pasta plain and buttered and your burger with just cheese. Here are 11 struggles of picky eaters.

1. You always get nervous going over someone's house.

When you don't know what's for dinner at your friend's house, you could go into shock. What happened to the days when you were a child and parents just ordered pizza? Now it's a sit down dinner, and who knows what's going to be on your plate?

2. You have to look a new restaurant up online before you go.

You need to give approval because everyone knows you don't like much of anything. You need to prepare yourself, and probably already know exactly what you want when you get to the restaurant because you only eat one thing on the menu.

3. Your friends think you only eat chicken fingers.

They don't realize that you like other foods, because you're always ready for some chicken fingers. But can you blame them for thinking this about you? Probably not. Everyone should want chicken fingers, at all times.

4. When you're trying to come up with dinner plans, it's always a struggle.

It takes hours and hours to figure out where to go because you always go to the same places. Some of those places you just might not be in the mood for on that day. It dwindles down your options and you go hungry for another hour.

5. Because you're a picky eater, people think you really dislike everything besides your faves.

Yes, I love chicken nuggets, but I could also eat filet mignon. Don't underestimate me; I'm sophisticated.

6. Set menus are the absolute worst.

When you go to a wedding or a banquet, you probably just select the chicken and hope for the best.

7. Your favorite foods sometimes come with gross dressings or sauces on top, making them inedible.

Honestly, what is a demi-glaze? What's a chutney? And why are these things on top of my food? You find yourself asking, "Can I have it plain?" Just give it to me plain and it will all be easier. Why do these places go through the extra work?

8. You probably get told that you eat like a five year old.

Just because I like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from time to time doesn't mean that I am actually 5 years old. Have you ever seen a 5-year-old pay for their meal with their own credit card? Probably not.

9. You wonder if you will ever like salad, or any of those other foods adults like.

Will there come a day when I utter the phrase, "I want some brussels sprouts"? Probably not. But you hope to God that one day you will "expand your pallet" and like all the foods you currently hate. Taste buds change, right?

10. You can't get through a show on the Food Network or the Cooking Channel.

These TV chefs start a meal and you say, "OK, he's going with bread and cheese, good. I like that." But then the chef adds a "sriracha mayonnaise" and you immediately want to vomit. You're immediately checked out and don't even want to see what the chef makes. It's over. You change the channel.

11. You probably can't cook.

Because I lack a "sophisticated pallet," my cooking skills have been hindered. My microwave skills are on point, though. Like me, any food that comes with directions on the back is probably your specialty.
