Is it normal that i want to hurt people eating near me?

Most times when I am out eating (fast food joint for instance), and either a) I see people eating or even worse b) someone looks at me when I am eating, I have an urge to go over and punch them in the face. I get the feeling like how dare they look at me while I eat, like concentrate on your own burger. You bollix. I guess I feel a bit bad and being angry at them for simply being there eating, I mean they are doing what I am doing, but it maddens me anyway. I have no idea why. Looking forward to comments!

    its probably a reaction to a form of misophonia.

    Self-conscious about your eating ? I want to hurt people when they watch me cook, as if it were top secret. But in reality I'm just scared they'll jugde me. Also I don't like looking at people cook, it either grosses me out or makes me feel shitty about my cooking skills. Maybe your situation is similar

      That's interesting, you are probably right, I guess I am self conscious when it comes to eating. In the canteen in work I hate when people are there while I am eating so I take a really late lunch. So I guess we are ruled out from winning housemates of the year award - we wouldn't last a week in the same kitchen :)
