Yeah.
I'm usually okay with eating. Awkward. Sometimes I get a lot self-conscious. But it isn't too bad. Choosing something to take is another matter, however. And cooking is a major issue. Or just preparing anything. That one sends me into a major panic.My mother used to literally scream at me everytime I set foot in the kitchen. I didn't get over my fear of the stove until... Well, I'm still a bit afraid...
I wrote a note for one of my flatmates and put it under her door... Something along the lines of being really busy and having trouble figuring out what to take / getting something. And I was worried about xxx feeling upset... And that I like them and enjoy living there and it wasn't personal but I wasn't going to come.
I imagine xxx will make a bit of an issue of it but...
I think... I really can just go 'oh well'. I don't care so very much what they think of me. Amazing. Couple years ago I'd probably need to go to hospital over this lol!
