i dont know but i feel really uncomfortable when other people are looking at me and watching me eat.

Why is this so?

Answer 1

The vast majority of people feel uncomfortable when someone is looking at you while you eat. If it's someone special you're with at the table, things tend to get even worse: you'll get clumsy, you won't manage to get those long spaghettis in your mouth, you'll have sauce on your face or food between your teeth. Not to mention that maybe you haven't been taught how to eat properly at a luxury restaurant, and the waiter might bring you some odd-looking fork and you won't know what to do with it!

You will eventually be forced by certain circumstances in your life to face this fear, and it's better to resolve this problem as early as possible. Talk to one of your friends who is "eating savy" and ask them to show you the proper manner of using the "instruments". Try google, you'll find some tips on how it's nice and polite to eat at a restaurant.
When you're done with this part, take one of your good friends with you at an obscure restaurant or at a time of the day when it's almost empty - so that you don't feel uncomfortable with other people around - and exercise what you have learned.

Manners are always important and it's good that you don't want to disregard this aspect of your life. It is a proof of respect to eat properly when you're in the company of others, and you will only gain appreciation for showing that you care for yourself and the people sorrounding you.
