food
I get really shy when it comes to eating around people other than my famliy and my closest friends. If I'm at lunch and everyone else is eating I feel ok about eating in front of them, but If no one is eating I get nervous about eating when they aren't. So I just was invited to a friend's 16th birthday party and it is going to be at a hotel. Its a fancy dinner party really...and I'm nervous about eating with 50 other people around me. Its not that I'm worried about my weight or how I look, I just don't feel right eating when other people are around. What should I do at the party? Should I just not go? Or should I go and not eat if no one else is eating?
Please Help..I'll rate =]

i know how you feel.. its happened to me.. just go! you cant ever get over your fear if you never face it. eat before hand so when you go you dont have to big out and you can just kinda snack on the food

actually, yours is a somewhat common fear. maybe it's some type of phobia, but if it is, i don't know what it's called. just have a little bit of food before you go, and when you're there, try to be around your closest friends when you're eating. and maybe there won't be a problem at all because everyone else will be eating so you won't feel uncomfortable. and don't worry, i know a lot of people who don't like eating around strangers, it's not that weird.

personally, i think is unattractive when i a girl DOSNT eat, cuz it tells me that they cant be themselves around everyone, there is a barrier that you have to break through to get to the real her, and that isnt appeling at all. i say you go, eat as much as you want, have manners, but dont worry about if your plate is clean and the person's next to you is only half finished, if i was the host/hostess of this party id be more pleased with the clean plate, cuz it clearly tells me that this person enjoyed thier food...so yes... go to the party. have fun, and eat as much as your lovely heart desisers.
adios

♥ You have to go! Your going to have wayy too much fun! Don't worry about eating in front of everyone! The other 50 people there are worried about that also. If it bothers you that much ... just eat less, but don't starve yourself! lol Loosin up and just relax. Its just something everyone goes through. Nothings wrong youll pass through this!
hope i helped! need anything else Im here!!

Hey,
Personally, i think that you should eat. The other people around will definetly be eating so don't be worried. I hope everything goes ok.

Oh boy does everyone feel the way you do! Of course! You really shouldn't be so nervous and try to relax. I'm sure no one is going to be staring at you the whole time seeing what your doing. Try not to be so self - consisous. Remember : there are more than one person in the room who is concerned about their weight! One tip I could give you though, is that as far as manners go, you should never start eating until the hostess (or host) picks up his or her fork and starts eating themselves.
Hope I helped =)
