Eating in front of people

Post Reply New Topic

I really struggle sometimes to eat in front of people, even if they're eating at the same time.
I panic, and can't swallow for fear of choking.
I just wondered if anyone else experiences anything similar?

Thank you

I used to hate eating in front of my parents & would wait till after they left the kitchen to eat because they would criticize the way I ate.

Different dipshits have had the nerve to tell me:


"what, they don't have food in your country?"



"you wiped your mouth with your sleeve!"

"you bit the sticker off the apple!"


Idiots have nothing better to do, than criticize my eating habits



As if they were perfect


Ha..


Idiots should see me eat a kit Kat


Some b***h saw me eating a yam and she had the nerve to look me up and down and roll her eyes



Maybe she was being rude, not me



Some penis had the nerve to tell me that "that s**t stank". It was just going to take thirty seconds to eat it
.


(It was daikon. Chinese vegetable). racism





f**k those ass holes. They act like they have a moral right to be happy at all times and whenever they are not happy, someone must have violated their stupidass "rights"





While I do not want to choke, if I do, it does not matter if anyone sees


What I do not like is "are you ok?", As if they are so "helpful".

I never eat in front of people. I've had an anxiety about it since kindergarten when two kids made fun of the way I ate. When I'm eating with my family, I'm always sitting in a recliner with a pillow propped up to keep me hidden.

it's awful because it's so socially isolating I'd love to enjoy a meal relaxing with people but when I try it nothing could be scarier.

I know what you mean. I've tried it before but I feel so uncomfortable that I have to put the pillow back up or retreat to my room.

I can eat in front of my very close family members, but I cannot eat in front of coworkers or really anyone I don't feel super close too. When I am forced to in certain situations, I get very anxious and have trouble just cutting food up and getting it to my mouth. Then I overly focus on how I am chewing and have trouble swallowing. I am not the neatest of eaters and strongly prefer to only eat in front of my immediate family.

It doesn't bother me as long as I don't have to talk to these people I'm eating in front of.

I'm just the same, all of a sudden I can't swallow, however much I chew the stupid food

Sometimes. Other times I have to sit with people to eat. It varies.

A couple of idiots had the nerve to ask me if I was vegetarian (no). As if omnivores have to constantly be eating meat

Someone asked if I was anorexic

What you are eating, how you are eating it

Hardly ever think about choking

"Choke" , Chuck palachunuik , book about a failed medical school student that goes to expensive restaurants and purposely chokes.

It’s so annoying when people comment. People say things when I eat plain vegetables, even though vegetables are good for you. I think they just wish they could bring themselves to eat plain vegetables

Idiots act like they are trying to make conversation and they act like I was Curt

Idiots told me something is "healthy" or not . It doesn't matter to them if its healthy. Ass holes.

OMG people give me such a hard time when I eat healthy. People have asked me if I'm a vegetarian for eating a salad with chicken on it--it had chicken on it! But apparently, eating salad makes you a vegetarian. Eat anything healthy, even if it has meat, or anything vegetarian for just one meal, and people will give you a hard time because you're not a carnivore.

I don't eat a lot of meat, and I could easily be a vegetarian if I weren't concerned about possibly overcompensating and eating like an average meat-devouring American a year later--that can happen! A lot of people just call that "healthy" or "eating light."

Eating vegetables or salad in front of people gets you comments.

Do any of you put your hand in front of your mouth when you're eating and you speak? I have a sibling who does that and it's probably only because its a sibling, but it bugs me and only because it's distracting. Hide face, not, hide face, not, hide face, not, etc.
