I hate making/ordering/eating food in front of other people. It makes me incredibly nervous for some reason. When Im alone ill stuff my face so that it will be less likely that I will have to eat in front of someone. Is this normal?
I'll eat with friends in a cafeteria, but if someone stares at me while I'm eating, I'll definitely become creeped out.
I get nervous too and end up feeling sick and constipated. Plus I hate when I have to eat someone else food because i feel force to eat it all even if I don't like how it tastes. I always have to make other people happy.
Eh, I don't like to eat around other people for the most part but I do it anyways because it's normal and there is really nothing wrong with it. You should really learn to eat in front of people.
I cant either. I dont eat food at all. I am anorexic and have suffered from bulimia before too.
I don't like eating around people I've only just met, but thats normal? I guess.
Fine eating around people I've known for along time though.
same here. i hate people eating near me too. and i prefer to eat in private, on my own.
See a psychologist - it is like you are describing a social fear & I understand there are very good treatments around phobias.
Yes and no. It has happen to me on certain occasions. For example if there is a large group of people also eating and I'm the most recent person getting their food.
-Now if you mean all the time then i don't know. What you can do if you feel like they are looking at you or something it; take a bite and start inspecting your food or something. Play with your food and if you know someone's looking then look at them really fast that should make them feel weird.
