Is it normal that i can't eat in front of people?

I feel really uncomfortable eating with other people so I usually eat in my room. If I have to eat in front of someone I'm not hungry anymore and I'll usually nibble on a salad. I think out might have to do with the fact that I was anorexic in high school and still have food issues. Does anyone else do this?

    Very normal.. In school most of my friends didn't eat in front of people we would walk around and eat lunch. A lot of people do that.. So do whatever makes you comfortable.

    I was going to comment that it was a sign of anorexia, before I read that you had it. I know lots of people who are uncomfortable about being seen eating, but the feelings won't change unless you try to overcome it, and it will probably become worse. Speak to somebody you trust about it and hopefully you will feel more comfortable.

    I think that's normal for somebody who's recovered from anorexia, yeah. Do what you're comfortable with, though.
