Easy things to eat in front of other people?

[ChocolateLover13]

I have a really hard time eating and drinking in front of other people; my family, my friends, even strangers. On a normal school day I don't eat anything from 6.30 in the morning when I have breakfast, to 3 o'clock in the afternoon when I get home.

I found out, that if I put a straw in my water bottle I'm able to drink water in front of other people, so I was wondering if any of you on here had an idea to something that could be easier to eat?

Try something that isn't all that messy and is kind of healthy, cereal bars are quite good. I used to hate eating in front of people. I kept my food in my bag and litterly broke off pieces and ate them so no one could see (don't really know why just didn't like people watching me eat seems kind of silly now I supose).

Eat food that can't leave behind crumps and that are in clean cut small pieces, oh! And also try looking at Ur self in front of a mirror whiles eating sometimes, it might help with that problem.

I'll try the mirror thing, thanks :)

Before I answer I have to ask: Is it because you're insecure about it?

[ChocolateLover13]

I guess you could say that, I'm normally not insecure at all, but I just can't stop thinking about what people think of me while I eat. Like if they think I look weird, because I think it looks weird sometimes when people eat.

Well everyone has to eat and drink. It's not weird at all. Just eat with your mouth closed, don't talk with your mouth full, etc. and you'll be fine! Oh! Always bring a napkin and (if possible) a compact mirror in your lunch. That way if you have anything that gets on your face, you can wipe it off without having to walk all the way to the bathroom or asking a friend. :) Start eating. You're body can't run properly without food. :) Good luck!
