Afraid to eat in front of people

Why do I hate eating in front of other people. NEw friends, guys, I dont like it. I am only comfortable around my family, or around my best friends. It's like the idea of going to get food with someone is so intimate, I hate intimacy and automatically I just decide I don't want to eat in front of someone else. It makes me so anxious. I shut it right down.

Perhaps this started a few years ago, when I first started talking to my ex. Only since then is when I noticed it. I always told him I don’t want to on a date with you, and I never once went out on a solo date with him, or ate in front of him, unless it was a snack. At work I told him I’m going somewhere else, once I’ve finished eating you can come.
Now looking back on it…what the hell?
If someone can give me some solutions and let me know why I do this please. I literally don’t take offence to anything, so please do not sugar coat anything. Thank you all.
