Why is it so hard to eat a banana?

I’m not kidding, I can’t eat a banana. I try. I peel it, stick the whole thing in my mouth and try. But the slippery texture is so strange. I don’t know how to bite it or even swallow it. I’ve been trying for about 3 years now and I’m starting to think I’ll be taking banana smoothies for the rest of my life. I’m seriously considering asking my husband to eat a banana for me, bite it off and feed it to me. I don’t know why this is such a problem for me. Is it the texture? Is it the fact that it’s an oval shape? I just don’t understand why something so normal is so difficult for me.
