Maybe this won't help at all, but you mentioned going to South Korea and your friends wanting you to enjoy the food. I'm a vegetarian, but when I visited Japan I ate meat temporarily so I could fully experience the culture and cuisine. Maybe you can somehow get that mindset that you can temporarily allow yourself some leeway to enjoy SK?
that’s such a good mindset to be in and i hope that i can let go and do the same!!! i only have 5 more months so maybe i’ll recover a little bit by then!!
