I would assume you were obese, had a history of eating disorder or other mental health issue, or grew up in poverty or around poor food-handling and were scared of germs. I don't assume people who don't eat are rude- I just assume they have something deeper going on and don't take it personally and try not to draw attention it it.

It's rude to say something to someone who doesn't eat. But I think you need to see someone for whatever your issue is and have a good backstory- like food allergies, feeling full or being on a weird diet.

Sounds like a form of social anxiety. Sometimes I feel weird eating around others because I'm afraid they'll try talking to me right when I have a mouth full of food.
