Unknown eating disorder?
I heard about an eating disorder that doesn't have a name. It's supposedly very common. the disorder is not being able to eat in front of other people. I'd just like some information on this... is there a name for it? what is it? and is it even a disorder?
I'm just curious, that's all.

hi,
not sure if it has a name. I've had that though, but it's because i think i'm overweight and i think people think i'm a pig. so in public i don't eat what i want. In fact starve and wait til i get home. Silly really because everyone needs to eat. Also if your shy, you might worry people are looking at you? Please don't worry though, if you wait till later, you'll be even more hungry and eat loads. At the end of the day, people are too busy eating their food to care about what your having.

it isnt a disorder, because i am that way.
like a school lunch, i can not eat infront of people, and at family dinners, i'll eat alone.
i talked to my doctor and she just said it is something you have to over come.
so no, it isnt a disorder, its more of a self thing.

It's more of being self conscious and not having enough self-esteem/confidence than an eating disorder. People, mostly girls, don't want people thinking that they're fat asses so they try not to eat in front of others, especially guys.

it's not a disorder. lots of girls dont like eating in front of other people. (a lot dont like eating in front of guys for the most part.) so they refuse to eat in front of other people.

Some people don't like others staring at them while they eat...It's not an eating disorder. I have Selective Mutism (social phobia) I don't feel comfortable eating in front of others. So at school, I skip lunch.

It's not an eating disorder. It's a social phobia, or possibly a specific phobia(of which I don't know the name).

I tried searching it on google, but I found nothing. The only thing I know of is social phobia. It's where you are embarassed to do anything infront of other people. I don't think it's really an eating disorder. There are mainly 3 kinds, but it could be. Sorry I wasn't a lot of help.

I guess it could be called "Social phobia" where a person is afraid of doing something embarrassing in front of other people. Different kinds of social phobias are not being able to speak in public, or you can't eat in front of other people without choking on food, etc.
