It is also okay to just be sensitive to spiciness, esp. because it may be related to neurodivergence.
I’m completely sure that this is part of it for me, but I have definitely increased my tolerance over time. I’d like to continue increasing it, because it is nice to be able to enjoy more flavors.
Instead of 0 out of 5 spicy at a Thai restaurant, get 1 out of 5 for a while, etc.
It’s a bit annoying when my dad is ordering a 5 and loving it but I’m stuck at like a 2 (at my local Thai place, 1 might as well be a zero — my mom who literally can’t handle more than green pepper tabasco sauce can enjoy that). How do you know when it’s time to increase to the next level? When you’re feeling brave enough?

Hard to say but maybe once a 3 starts tasting normal and a 2 tastes weak
