I'm too embarrassed to eat in front of anyone and I think it's really impacting my social life. There is nothing to do in my town except go out to eat, which I never want to do because I just feel so weird eating in front of people. I can't even eat in front of my family, I wait until they're gone to eat. I always take my boyfriend out to eat and he always gets mad at me for not eating. I feel disgusting eating in front of people, I don't want them to see me doing something like that. It doesn't feel natural and I don't feel comfortable eating in front of anyone. I have a dinner date tomorrow and I'm really nervous about it, I don't want to be rude and not eat but I also don't want people to see me eat. Is there something wrong with me?

i don't mean to sound mean but, that's kinda weird... 0_o i mean, if you can't even eat in front of FAMILY, how'd you live with them until now??? there's nothing wrong with eating in front of people, it's a natural human thing to do. that's part of how we LIVE. hopefully you overcome this...

What's so strange about eating in front of them? o_o
Fear of them being disgusted? o_O

I'm sure you know etiquette. It can't be that bad.

I'm a little like that too. I tend to like to eat alone, and I used to hate eating in front of others. These days I still find certain situations where I hate eating in front of others and I generally don't eat with my family. But sometimes you just have to suck it up and eat in front of people. Just remember that everyone else is pretty much eating in front of you so there is nothing shameful or disgusting about it, though is awkward. If you can try, just take a few bites, it might help you get past the feeling of not being able to eat in front of others. If you still feel awkward just try to be kind and say you're not very hungry (which you most likely aren't when there are others around; because I'm like that). :T I'm not really giving any useful advice, but you're not alone.

yeah probably. If it's interfering with your daily life, you should probably seek some professional help.

you are like me, i also don't like eating in front of anybody anywhere..

well, if your so really cares the he should understand. buy takeaway and go somewhere private in a nice public park and have a picnic with him.

or.. get him to pick a nice restaurant ith secluded places where you can eat without people looking at you.

I dunno why you'd be so self concious... unless you're eating like a mad pig or something, I don't think people single out others to watch while they're eating .__.
That's really strange. Maybe you have a psycological problem or something about this.... go check it out with a doctor

well. im kinda like that... i'll eat in front of my family and stuff but in front of other people.. i cant seem to eat infront of them.. its.. awkward...
but.. i think you need to talk to your family members about this and you should REALLY try to eat infront of people.. you'll never acually see if its embarassing until you try, right?

Wow.. hm.. I get nervous before when I just started dating my bf because I was embarrassed and stuff like that. However, now I'm fine with it and I've always been fine with eating with my family so... I think you should try to overcome it, it's really nothing weird to eat in front of people. o_o

I had this problem too. I couldn't eat in front of anyone or in public cuz I was too embarrassed. Like, I remembered once that my mom bought me a slice of cake and told me to each it while walking to the market, I just smiled at her and told her I'll eat it later.

Well, as I got older, I grew outta that. I hope you will too but if you don't then you should see someone. If it's not shyness, then it's something deeper and perhaps worse.
