Question: Do you ever feel self conscious while eating in public!?
I do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
lol yeah I do too, think lots of people do!. If I go to a cafe or something I dont like to sit near the window so all the people outside can see me eating!. If I walk down the road with a can of drink in my hand or something I think people driving past in their cars might look at me and think "God, she's so greedy she couldnt even wait til she gets to where she's going!"!. Im more relaxed if Im with someone else though, like I often take service users at work to go and eat something in a park!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hated eating in public for the longest time, I couldn't go out for meals, couldn't eat lunch with friends at school, I can't even tell you why I was self concious I just wasn't able to do it - my throat would tighten up, I would feel nauseous and literally wouldn't be able to get anything down!.

I know its supposed to be sociable etc but some people generally don't like doing it, they find it uncomfortable!.

I did get over my fear and can now go out for meals but I still feel very self concious, I can't tell you why, but I really hate sitting in a group when I eat - I sometimes take my lunch at a different time to my colleagues in order to be able to eat on my own!.

I guess its just a hang up - you're not alone!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do, at the more posh restaurants!. I get really anxious, hot flushes and just wanting to get out!. it usually happens when i eat with other people!.

It's ok if you feel self conscious while eating in public!. I used to hate eating in front of people I knew!. Of course I had an eating disorder!. Just try to not look at people when you eat!. Sit so you don't face them!. Or just order take away!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I never have done, although I find it strange if I catch sight of myself eating, in a reflection, because obviously that's not something anybody normally sees!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Almost never!. Everyone eats!. It's a VERY social thing to do!.

Sometimes I feel self conscious if someone asks me a question right after I take a bite and I'm staring at them and chewing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
