Cant talk during meals

I cant talk while im eating because im focusing on eating.
I do not understand why youre supposed to conversate over a meal. I am trying to eat thats why im eating. I cant do both.
I also think that people are disgusting when they eat. They look gross and if they make any sounds they are gross and they better not talk with food in their mouths. Learn some manners.
I cant handle it though ive gotten better at it over the years. As a kid I never ate at school for example I just poked around in my food because the sight of other people eating disgusted me too much and other people looking at me while im eating was something I could not handle and still cant.
Eating at dates is a very strange concept to me. Ive never been able to personally but ive tried.
This is not a problem to me personally, its only other people its a problem mainly my family that its a problem to. I think they should just shut up and respect my ways.

    This is my biggest pet peve. I hate being around anyone thats eating. I dont like to be seen eating either or talk when I'm eating. I hate the noise of people eating, including chewing gum and drinking water. Or the pause after a sentence and lip smack thing college kids do to sound smart. I actually hate family get togethers because it always revolves around food. Makes me miserable the entire time.

    Don't talk with your mouth full.

    I was the same way in school about being so grossed out by the other kids eating that I lost my appetite. They were like pigs eating at a trough. No table manners whatsoever, and they'd try to gross me out further. However, I don't mind conversing at the dinner table as long as nobody is gross. When I'm starving and the food is good, I won't be doing much talking, though!

    I can but I don't want to. Im focused on eating too. But being that disgusted with other people eating, I dont think is normal

    Genuine question, how picky of an eater are you?

    I'm not saying to be a dick, I'm being very genuine - this sounds like eating disorder territory.

    Obviously I don't know you, maybe you are very happy and your weight is healthy, but I'm just going off what you've said in this post.
