Why cant I eat in public?

I am 19 years old and I cant bring myself to eat infront of anybody not even family! If I go out to eat I get shaky when the food is in front of me and get really embaressed, also if I’m by myself eatting in my room I feel like someone is watching me even though theres not, I would rather starve than let people see me eat, its really getting me down. Dose anyone know what I should do? Thanks xxx

Answer #1

There is nothing embarrasing about eating in public, trust me. Everyone does it, so you don’t need to feel weird at all. You just need to convince yourself of this because your idea of not being able to eat in public is wrong and just an illusion. Don’t stress over it, just face your fear and fix it asap, you’ll be releived when you do, really.=)

Answer #2

I don’t eat as much as I do at home when I out becase I fell weird and like people are going to laugh or something for eating to much but its not as bad around family

Answer #3

Mam, you just need to feel home and happy always. I know this problem of yours is caused by shyness, try to fight that away from you by looking into people’s eyes when you are speaking to them. Dont feel fears to people of any nature. Try to crack jokes and stories with people of all genders. After achieving this, you will not be finding fears to eat, drink, talk in public or when you are with people. Just feel ok always.

It is mostly faced by shy guys if you make enough research. Treat it away from you man. Start by testing and see what comes next. Good luck!

Answer #4

Go see a doctor and a psychologist; it sounds like acute anxiety and OCD. You can go on mood elevators that take away the negative feelings and sickness towards food. Also, it may be emotional stress that you’re not even aware of contributing to these feelings. I know I was having nervous breakdowns when my brother left school. Even though I knew it was best for him and I really didn’t feel affected by it, that was a major contributing factor for me.

Answer #5

You need to see a psychologist. This could lead to eating disorders. Good luck xx
