-- Posted by DirtyConspiracy at 8:21 am on Nov. 20, 2008 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? -- Posted by soldier side at 8:21 am on Nov. 20, 2008 im not fat -- Posted by Style Out at 8:22 am on Nov. 20, 2008 The first step is to admit you have a problem. -- Posted by santana 08 at 8:22 am on Nov. 20, 2008 omg i know exactly how u feel. i hate it. feels like im always judged for being a pig. -- Posted by FTF at 8:23 am on Nov. 20, 2008 No, but my gf doesn't like eating in front of people. -- Posted by LeanneS at 8:23 am on Nov. 20, 2008 No i just eat. I have a friend like yourself though, she always thinks people are watching her, when actually their not -- Posted by Chiefette at 8:24 am on Nov. 20, 2008 When I was in high school I was like that.  I felt fat everytime someone watched me eat.  When we got a new coach for the weightlifting team, he would sit with me and eat lunch with my, because he thought that I was anorexic.  I was dropping 5lbs a week, and it was worrying him.  After a while, I just got use to eating in front of people.  Now I have no problem with it. -- Posted by Anonymous Chris at 8:25 am on Nov. 20, 2008 I don't either. -- Posted by Chava at 8:26 am on Nov. 20, 2008 I hate when I get that feeling. -- Posted by starchild447 at 8:26 am on Nov. 20, 2008 sometimes -- Posted by Lightning Strikes at 8:30 am on Nov. 20, 2008 I agree. But also because I eat weirdly. -- Posted by Kitty Kiska at 8:30 am on Nov. 20, 2008 Whgen it comes to eatting...i cant stop lol -- Posted by 0h h3ll n0 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. -- Posted by DMbaby xoxo16 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? -- Posted by Leah Louise at 8:49 am on Nov. 20, 2008 i do i have anorexia -- Posted by Discordany 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. -- Posted by singyourheartout at 9:03 am on Nov. 20, 2008 I know two girls who are like that. It confuses me a bit :s -- Posted by BeautifulLies82 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." -- Posted by lorenextdoor at 7:32 pm on Nov. 21, 2008 I am like that around guys -- Posted by Annastasia at 4:32 am on Nov. 22, 2008 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? -- Posted by Catacomb at 1:54 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 yes i hate it -- Posted by TubOfLard at 3:07 pm on Nov. 23, 2008 yes, but that is because I have an eating disorder... -- Posted by error at 8:35 am on Sep. 16, 2009 i have that problem, it ruins things for me all the time, i just started college and ive lost so much weight already just because i cant eat in the dining hall with everyone else, and being malnourished is affecting my grades because i cant think straight and im always dizzy -- Posted by error at 8:35 am on Sep. 16, 2009 i have that problem, it ruins things for me all the time, i just started college and ive lost so much weight already just because i cant eat in the dining hall with everyone else, and being malnourished is affecting my grades because i cant think straight and im always dizzy
