Is it normal to pretend that i'm an animal when i eat?

A lot of the time when I eat food, I find myself pretending to be an animal. This happens with all types of food, but especially with meat and fruit. There's just something so raw and primal to me about eating meat or fruit. Almost every time I eat fruit I pretend to be a fruit bat. I'm autistic and I have faced some trauma regarding neglect and not having food, so it might be a coping mechanism of some kind. I haven't been able to find anybody else with the same habit as me.

    You do you, when you're with people who love and/or understand you. My advice is not to eat like an animal in front of people who don't love or understand you. People have really low tolerance for others infringing social codes when it comes to eating. In this case, copy what they do instead.

    I like to pretend,too! I pretend all kinds of things. At themed restaurants,I often pretend that I'm in that country. Or sometimes I pretend that it is a different year.
