[quote=Anonymous]I was like this at his age. Still am. Anxiety suppresses my appetite before it does anything else. I also don’t eat when I’m not hungry. As a result, it has always been challenging for me to eat in socially obligatory situations. I’d be perfectly happy to sit there at the table and enjoy conversation, but other people are clearly unnerved unless everyone is eating simultaneously. No body dysmorphia, though—and that is the thing I’d keep an eye on. If he is consuming adequate calories to maintain his weight, give this some space. Being pressured about eating is not a good experience. Americans are nutty about “hydration” generally. Nobody had water bottles on them in the 1980s and we didn’t go to the water fountain all that often either.[/quote]
