Is the dislike of eating in public an eating disorder?
My good friend eats, I know this for sure. But she feels uncomfortable about eating in front of her friends, like many others do. Now her dad is sure she has an eating disorder. Is this really one?

No! It’s actually just something that myself and my daughter have experienced along with her father…The case of the shyness! Thats all, when you eat in front of a crowd sometimes you feel like someone is watching the way you eat, even when there is only one person around. You are aware of them being there and you feel they are aware of the way that you are condoning yourself while you eat.
I got over it when I realized it, then I would watch others. I realized that they drop food, make messes and burp just like I do. As long as I clean myself up, say excuse me then I am just like the rest of the people… I need to eat
Weird I saw this…I just saw something on Good Morning America(I think, it was a morning show I know for sure) and they were talking about a disorder that specifically has to do with this issue. It isn’t so much an eating disorder as it is a mental thing…Like someone who doesn’t like to use public bathrooms(me…lol)
Maybe she really has an eating disorder and this is her way of hiding it. Because it is quite odd for a person to not like eating in public.
its not a eating disorder i have the same thing my problem is i had an 80 pound kiln lid slammed on my head that messed up my teeth more like being insecure about yourself
