2.5 I have not acted sanely when: c. I was more comfortable with food than with people.

Boy does this ever ring true for me. I would much rather spend time in the kitchen than meeting with the people. When I have cooked for large groups and there is the perfunctory thank you applause, I have preferred to remain in the the kitchen cleaning up from the cooking than facing the crowd. A couple of times I have been shamed into getting the applause.

I suppose this question is more about preferring to be alone and eating than being with people - I have at other times hovered around the 'food table' rather than engaging with people at a party - as if my weight made me uninteresting and so I would prefer to eat than to engage. I actually turn down invitations rather than having to be in that situation.
