Eating out

...............

I get nervous by eating out, but not I'm not that bad. I am far more concerned about people looking at me and me an judging me, far more than anything else. I have to sit in a corner everytime I do somewhere though, to not be exposed to the nearest surroundings. What helps for me is that I try to maintain the idea that I don't know who these people are, and I seriously doubt I will ever see them again, so why should I even care what they think of me? We also sometimes feel embarrassed about who we are goign with, or who we are going to be seen with. I know I am. I feel guilty about it too, I mean how selfish is it to not want to go somewhere because you don't wnat to be seen with the person who is asking you??

I really hate eating in restaurants. Everyone is looking at me and saying funny things. I get very embarassed, ashamed. Its a hell.
