This isn't really a sad thread..it's more of a thread about me being somewhat "confused". So, it starts out like this: I've recently been having this nervous feeling come over me whenever I eat at the table. I feel uncomfortable, and even though I don't look at anybody/question anybody. I feel like they're watching me. I do not know why. I am a good eater, everyone in my family will never hesitate to agree to that..but it's just that I get nervous around a table for a party, or a quiet table. I start thinking if I'm chewing too loud, or if I'm moving too much, or I'm stuffing too much food in my mouth at once. I always seem to think that I'm displaying bad habits. It's hard for me to say: "No thanks, I'll eat later." Because I feel it is disrespectful. What do you guys think this is? Am I just being too paranoid?
For a sec there I thought this thread would be about someone turning anorexic... Mhm, I think you just have a serious case of paranoia here. It could be that your just not comfortable eating around other people. I wouldn't worry too much, however this is a serious matter. Try to think about other things when you eat, so paranoia doesn't overcome you like that. Just relax, take deep breaths & eat. Hope that helps~
Hmm..it helps for the moment, but when I'm relaxed everything I do bothers me. I get all meticulous about how I eat.
Seems like you have some nerve problems. In some casses do you get a sick feeling too? I know some people who do. I wouldn't be worried about it. I guess all I have to say is just relax and try to think of something else.
