I was this way as a kid. I'm not sure when I stopped caring.
Carry on with your DMZ, soldier.
Same. When I was young, I would RAGE if a pea so much as whispered to the mashed potatoes next to it. Now I reflect that I have bigger problems than this and don't stress about it. Medication also helps. Somewhat.
A friend's dad feels so strongly about this that he has cafeteria style trays so each food item can have its own little area walled off from everything else.
Man, I'm the complete opposite. I tend to mix everything. As a kid I would even shape some dishes into a smooth rectangle after first crushing the potatoes and mixing it with the rest.
