Typing this out has made me realize I’ve had this ordeal a lot longer than I had considered. I can share a meal with family, my s/o, or close friends, and it’s fine. But otherwise it’s just really weird for me… and I can’t place why. I feel bad bc if I’m trying to meet new friends or go out with peers and somebody offers to grab dinner, I get freaked out and usually bail bc suggesting “let’s do absolutely anything else accept eat” sounds pretty bonkers. I do not/have never had any sort of eating disorder, I’ve never had a bad relationship with food, and I don’t have any issues with my weight/body image. I don’t have any problem with eating in general, but getting food with people I don’t know well enough just feels like a nightmare. What might be the root of this? Has anyone else felt the same way?
