Is it normal that i hate eating in front of people?

I think the title is a bit self explanatory but before I get judged and called stupid. I love food and love to eat bit growing up when I was around 5 - 10 I would get yelled at for not eating right but I would get yelled to the point where I cried in front of people. So I always have those thoughts in my mind whenever I'm eating in front of someone new or someone I'm not comfortable with. It's my anxiety and sometimes it makes it really really hard for me to eat in front of people.

(My dad was just really strict and didn't want me to eat like a pig but he yelled in a way that was unnecessary and got mad at me and made cry)

If you respond, don't be a dick -.-

I know it's silly but .-. You know, we all have our issues.

    Normal given how your father behaved towards you. You would probably be able to get over this with the right therapy but if that's not possible check out Cognitive Behaviour Therapy on the internet and/or books about it at your local library.

      Thank you, and I'm hoping to go to therapy soon. I've tried to deal with it myself and other friends tried helping but it kinda makes it worse when they push it.makes me not wanna do it more.

    Pretty normal. It's a type of social anxiety, like me when I have to go to the bathroom, I'll never take a poop and never use the urinals. (I don't think anyone wants to take a shit [pardon my language] in a public restroom though, eughhh.)
