Do you ever feel awkward eating alone in public?

Question

Pretty sure this woman is watching me eat 😫😫 I'd rather eat in my car 😭

Jabberjaw · Accepted Answer

No lol.

I'll go to a movie alone too if I want. People act retarded about shit. Like if you really think about it

The only reason you feel awkward is because you care about what other people are thinking about you. And you probably feel like they're judging in some way. When most people probably don't care or even notice

You make yourself feel like an outsider and are only comfortable in your car because you feel safe away from judgement. You just gotta drop that shit.

Fun fact some people find sexual pleasure from eating, some also find it from watching other's eat lol. Anyway, not really but I never go out to eat without someone so I cannot say it's something I would do. Only time I eaten by myself in public was at school at dinner time or something like that but not going to mcdonalds or something to eat in bymyself. Will happily buy the mcdonalds to take home and eat though.

No, I’m more awkward eating with my family in public. Cause my dad eats while talking, he doesn’t even chew his food. He rants and talks loudly about the government and politics. To the point it ruins my appetite and it becomes awkward and embarrassing.

Also with my mom, she also wants to talk and rant about my dad and her marriage.

So with me eating in public alone, I’m more calm and content. That I get to finally get to enjoy my meal in peace.

I feel like everyone is looking at me thinking I’m fat

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

I used to feel, when I was like 18-19.

Then my lifestyle changed a lot and I barely had time for going home and had to eat at fancy restaurants everyday. Even had my own table almost any place I went to.

So, it helped me feel less awkward and today, I don’t have that problem anymore.

Iwant2kno · Answer

Not at all. A few years back I felt “observed” and out of place whenever I would sit and simply have a cup of coffee. With time I’ve learned that the more comfortable you are with yourself and your surroundings, the less important that will be.

Screenwriter · Answer

So what if she was watching. you eat? Some people stare. Ignore such stuff. Eating in your car is awful. Treat yourself to a sitdown meal. It's civilized. Ignore the monkeys eyeballing you. Sometimes this happens. It's harmless.

Cherry234 · Answer

I don't. I don't think people really care whether you're alone or not because they're taking care of their own business.
