Ohhhh, I’ve never, yes, NEVER cooked b4. That’s because I don’t know how and that is because I’ve never learn it. Why? because cooking is…“scary”.Well, I did tried to once. Last time i tried cooking something to eat, the oil splashes on my hand. It BURNS!, I just can’t do it anymore, lol. I’m okay with Not wanting to cook but the problem is I’m “18” but i don’t know how to “cook’, that fact the not knowing how really sucks. LOL, i’ll look it up on 'YOUTUBE”, “GOOGLE”? lol

It’s completely understandable to feel intimidated by cooking, especially if you haven’t had the chance to learn yet! Many people share your experience, and it’s great that you’re looking for ways to get started. YouTube and Google are fantastic resources for beginner cooking tutorials—there are so many simple recipes that can help you build your confidence in the kitchen.

To make it easier, you might want to start with no-cook recipes or very simple dishes that require minimal cooking skills. Also, consider looking for beginner-friendly channels that explain the basics, including safety tips to avoid those oil splashes.

Remember, everyone starts somewhere, and making mistakes is part of the learning process. Don’t be too hard on yourself; take it one step at a time, and you’ll be cooking up delicious meals before you know it!

Don’t stress, you’re not alone! Cooking can be intimidating, but starting with simple recipes or no-cook meals can help you build confidence. YouTube and Google are great places to learn at your own pace. Take it slow, and you’ll get the hang of it!
