Other than close friends & family. I can't sit in a hall and eat food, or at family gatherings or anything. When I eat around people I don't know I feel like they're judging me, thinking I'm greedy and fat for eating, even if they're eating too.

Does anyone else experience anything like this?

Hmm, I can definitely see where you are coming from. I used to have a bit of a problem with it myself. What helped me was realizing that other people feel the same way, or have other things they are insecure about, so they are more concentrated on that then thinking "oh, she shouldn't be eating." I realized I don't look around at people and zero in on something they are insecure about, so chances are they don't either.

Also, it just takes some getting used to. Maybe start with eating some salads, or something similar, if that makes you feel better?

BeautifulLies82 Posted at 9:49 am on Nov. 20, 2008
I used to.

Then I was like "Fuck them, they don't know that this isn't the first time I've eaten in days."

I know two girls who are like that. It confuses me a bit :s
Discordany Posted at 8:58 am on Nov. 20, 2008
I used to be like that. Its just a self confidence thing. Do it anyway; you'll get used to it.

DMbaby xoxo16 Posted at 8:49 am on Nov. 20, 2008
do you have any problems with Anorexia or bulimia or is it just a anxiety/paranoa thing?
0h h3ll n0 Posted at 8:35 am on Nov. 20, 2008
No...but my friend is like that and she has major anxiety issues. You should probably speak to someone about that.
