Can't eat infront of people. Condition or teenage mishap??

I do the same thing, I really think its JUST a teenage thing because a lot of teenagers are like that. but if it continues to middle age its the start of signs of anorexia.

May be a bit of OCD and may be some person being paranoid. It will grow out of it. It isn’t going to kill you to eat in front of other people.

your either paranoid or self conciouse beleive it or not, many other epople also have this feelings its pretty common in people, especially in teenage years usually they grow out of it though also, you need to realise that people arnt looking at you why would they want to watch someone eat? all there really thinking about is there food there not interested in what other people are doing with theres so they have no reason to bother you or stop you from eating try to be more confident embrace food, dont see it as a bad thing, you need it to live anyway and just be comfortable in your own skin

Well im fine eating around my friends and family. but if im at a restraunt eating with people I don’t really know or around someone I like. I get really nervous. its because you are not self confident, annd are nervous that you are going to look stupid eating. the best way to get over it…is to actually start eating infront of people and or watch people eat, they are usually nervous too, start eating infront of the mirror and it will help, Best of Luck :D

are you paranoid? do you suffer from anxiety and depression?

okay..im not supposed to say this on omgxd but im anorexic and thats how it strted..tel your parents..trust me

GOOD LUCK!! =D

I can eat infront of family and friends but when it comes to eating infront of a girl I like.. I just cant physically do it. My ex girlfriend was a calarie counter and I was with her for 2 years. it got to the stage where as we were going out for meals, I felt sick and just was physically sick in the toilets. I felt ill, hot, until I got outside then I was fine. I have met a new girl now and its horrible knowing that ill feel the same… what can I do??:(
