Is It Normal?
What do you think?
The Fear...
Is it normal to be nervous about eating in front of people? I hate eating in restaurants, with friends, or anyone because I always have this irrational fear that they will be watching me and I will make a mistake and won't eat something right. For instance, if I'm eating salad, I am afraid I will get dressing on my lips and they will see and think I am a slob. Comments please.....

It's normal for me! I won't order sloopy foods in a resturant.

haha.

What you have to do is to go to a restaurant and make those mistaks so that you can see how unbelievably no consequences they have.
In reality nobody gives a rats ass how you eat.

Maybe you´ve been associating with people who are overly pedantic and judgmental.

If that´s the case then maybe you should find some new folks to hang out with.

You will be, like, super happy to find out that, like, you are only flattering yourself. Most people care minimally of others.
So relax and eat a whole boiled chicken with your hands, fruityCake.
Its Unusual
But....My boyfriend won't eat in front of people either, just wants peace
gettin to know u
hey wats up
theres a reason
well I know personally I eat like a pig but I'm not scared of eating in front of people
I remember making this huge sloppy mess of a sandwich I was eating and a girl across from me trying to hold in her laughter.

Some people do watch how others eat but its those who cant eat in front of other people(that girl who was laughing at me was severely anorexic)

its normal, and you probably wont become anorexic from it, and its very normal
i totally agree with you. i cant eat in front of people either.. not cause i'm afraid i'll get something on me it just seems people are judging me when i'm eating... almost like i'm a sitting duck with a target on me...
I eat people in front of my friends and they are clapping.
You'd care less about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they do. No one is going to watch you eat.
I have that fear ever since I was a kid. I never ate at birthday parties or dinner at friend's houses. All because in 1st grade, our teacher passed out doughnuts. When I got mine I started eating and she scolded me, cause she wanted us to wait till after she played some dumb song with it. I never ate at school again. Even now I HATE eating in front of people. If I do eat with friends, I pick at it. I'd rather have people see me naked or pooping.

yes every one has some fear of making a fool of them selves in a situation like that but no one realy cares if u are a slob u just gotta eat wat u want n try not to get food on ur face n if u do wipe it away n hope no one sees n any way ppl do get a little messy with some food its just wat happens
You have to get in the mind set of, "What the fuck do I care what they think? We will all grow old and die and non of this will matter." Also, its mostly about not caring what people think, and being yourself. I struggle with that also..
