I have never liked sweet things as much as other people, is there a reason?

When I say this I mean things like:

  • I don’t crave sweet things in any regular way. Sometimes I get a specific mood for a specific flavor, like a cookie or an ice cream, but halfway through the cookie or two bites into the ice cream I’m “satisfied” and now the sweet thing is undesirable and I don’t want to eat it.
  • A lot of foods that people seem to love I either never like or get a craving for, or it’s so rare that it’s basically wild. I truly do not like cake (it’s not hate, I just don’t like it). Brownies? No thank you. Chocolate? Pass. Donuts and pastries? No, thank you, I’d rather have some scrambled eggs or a celery stick with peanut butter. I don’t even like ketchup with sugar/sweetener and spend like $10 buying a brand that not only doesn’t use sugar but doesn’t use any added sweetener or sugary thing besides what’s present in a tomato.
  • Most candy foods are not things I want to eat. I might if it’s offered, but only the barest bit. As above, I disdain chocolate - probably more than any other “candy.” And that’s not like, Hersheys, but like Godiva, Lindt, and so on. I don’t care for whoppers or candy bars or even “lightly sweet” things.
  • I admit to liking the occasional bite of ice cream, but if I’m going to have a frozen dessert I prefer something more “complex” or whatever - like a sorbet that’s a tart berry flavor.

In general the issue isn’t that I “want” to avoid these things. It’s that most sweet foods that people eat and love taste, to me, almost one dimensionally sweet. There’s flavors in there, but it’s all angled toward being sweet without any “complexity.” Chocolate cake or withstanding because I don’t like the flavor of chocolate, even like a vanilla cake or a carrot cake are just… too devoid of anything by being sweet.

I feel like when people say they want to “balance” the sweetness, mostly they talk about taking away bitter flavors rather than making a complex flavor. For example a lot of recipes say to add salt because it balances the sweetness, but it also actually is reducing bitters and enhancing the sweetness. It’s not making it less sweet, it’s making it more sweet and less bitter.

I just don’t get it, and I feel like in a world that’s dominated by a cult of sugar/sweet.

What could cause me to dislike these incredibly popular things? I’ve been like this since childhood. No underlying conditions that anyone’s noticed, either.
