My manager organised some social events with food involved. The first one was a whole team meeting. Whilst there, she came over, and it felt like, slammed a plate down in front of me, then said “Why aren’t you eating?’ I expect she thought I was being polite or slow at starting.
The second event was more informal and I managed to eat something in front of her and the others, even though I found it so incredibly difficult to do so. She had a very close relationship with someone who has a severe ED. I feel awful doing these behaviours around her as it’s been so hard for her, I feel so guilty and wish I could turn off this voice so I could be the respectful person I used to pride myself on being and support her more. After these socials, I felt my manager was quite withdrawn with me. She doesn’t know I have relapsed but I don’t want work to become strained. I’m not really sure the point of this post, sorry |

Your food consumption is not work related or your boss's business.
This can be difficult when there are friendships and/or blood relationships, but it remains true. You are not rude to say, "no thanks." to food. Or to express, "Your comments on my eating are inappropriate. " Hoping the best for you! |

Its not your falt,maybe the manager is having a bad day and can't deal with it.. Maybe you should talk more and find your own friends so your not alone-if something like that happened again at least it wasn't towards you directly. Even if you don't feel like making friends I think avoiding conflict is the best advice I can give you..Hope you feel okay after all that
