Is it normal that i can't stand to eat when there are people around?

since I was 9 (I'm 21 now), I really can't stand eating when people are around (when they're not also eating) to the point that I would rather starve.

Then, when I am alone, I would try to eat fast because I'm worried that I won't be alone for long.

This would be fine, except I'm also like this around my family members. Now that it's quarantine season and they're around more, it's hard for me to eat (but it's not like I'm starving, we do eat dinner together).

    it's not normal, but it doesn't sound like a problem either. you could have social anxiety or smth, or it could just be a quirk of yours.

    My partner is afraid to eat. Sounds like some kind of anxiety disorder.
