10. I was the odd ball. All food tasted too salty to me.

I was never a salt eater, so that really sucked. I tried several waters to find one that didn't gag me because of the salt taste.

Everyone else seemed to need more salt, but not me.

It will get worse, sorry to say. But it does start to get better in time.
