I Don't Like Eating In Front Of Others

About the only ones I'm comfortable eating in front of is my boyfriend and kids.... My tremors tend to pick up when I use my hands for almost anything... Someone usually points out my shakes and it just makes things worse... It's like the minute they point it out they intensify... Then I start shaking food everywhere.... It's like having an involuntary tick... I rarely notice it because I grew up this way but I'm very aware of people staring at my hands when I try to eat... It's horrible but stuff like dropping my coffee happens often... We constantly got to have a broom or mop near by....

Most people do not watch others eat. But of course pointing out someone's difficulty like that is really rude. I can understand why you would be apprehensive about the situation

@CestManan A lot of rude family.... You'd be surprised how often it happens...They've seen me shake since I was a baby but still comment on it...

@SleepyPrincess after 40 something years you would think that they would be over it by now. Why do they do that?

@CestManan I have no idea... I don't even have to be eating... I could be just drinking a glass of something and my shakes pick up and they will make comments how I'm shaking again like it's a new thing...They don't seem to grasp the fact I can't control it... They think I'm like overly nervous all the time when in fact it is just tremors...

Me either. I always worry I'll have a tic or outburst while im eating and ruin the meal. I ate many meals alone when i was younger
