For some reason I can't stand eating around other people, even family. I feel like they are watching me, criticizing me. It's not like I eat too much or too fast or too messy and don't want people to notice. I just feel uncomfortable, as though I'm being watched. (Perhaps it's a bit paranoid...)
i cant stand eating around people! so whenever i do eat around people i just cover my mouth!
It's only weird if you make a tremendous amount of noise eating. For example, if you were eating with your mouth open, or eating carrots in a library, or slurping your soup, or dragging your teeth across your fork.
Yeah, i like eating by myself. I feel rushed or like people are starring at me when i'm eating around other people, especially if i don't know them well.
I'm the same. For me, eating is the most intimate thing.
Besides, there's a lot of retards who talk about gross things when they are near you so that can destroy your appetite in no time.
Yeah I agree, and some other people have gross eating habits... Such as slurping up their food or, like someone I know, who thinks every little crumb or sauce smear must be eaten and she licks it like some animal who licks a dish long after the food is gone. If food lands on her shirt, she licks it. If it lands on the table, she licks it. If it lands basically anywhere, she licks it. It grosses me out and I am left with no appetite.
yeah its normal. whenever i do eat i prefer to eat in solitude bc if theres people around ik that they are lookin at me thinkin im fat. wich i an.
They are all watching me.
Stop trying to figure out what i am eating if you are really that bothered try asking me.
I hate eating infront of people also. Not my family though thats ok, but strangers or in public is what makes me paranoid.
I guess its because I think I look stupid when I eat, but then again I am drop dead gorgeous so how can I possibly look stupid ever?
I think it's normal. It't not that I can't stand eating around people it's just that I prefer to eat alone. Probably just feel insecure.
I feel the same way. You may have S.A.D.(Social Anxiety Disorder). That's just a thought though.
I do that too if someone looks or comments on what I'm eating like for example that chicken looks delicious something simple like that I just lose my appetite and stop eating. I also don't eat in front of other people my eating habits are very strange I eat too little food like 90% of the time and I feel embarrassed but it's not like I can help the situation because I am an anorexic in recovery and a full functioning bulimic but that's another story. As for eating in restaurants I could never do that I observe people in restaurants eating and how they do it making it look so easy and normal.
It is. I just choose not to worry about it. The truth is no one pays attention to how they eat, or at least to the extent we sometimes feel we have to.
I use to be pretty bad and I'm still working on caring less haha. It just takes time, don't be afraid.
