Does anyone have something that they hide behind, or some place that they can sort of hide in that makes them feel comfortable?
I have been doing photography for a couple of years, and I have noticed that whenever I have to go into public, I sort of hide behind my camera so people will think I am busy and sort of leave me alone.
>_< That is what I do on my lunch breaks at work. I usually just listen to music in my car. Plus I kind of feel self conscious eating when other people are around..

i hide behind my headphones. some times i wear them when I'm not even listening to music. its kind of a subtle way of keeping anyone who might want to talk away. . oh its also a way for me to listen to other peoples conversations without them knowing.
I hate eating in public too. I always feel like I look greedy and get paranoid that there's food on my face or between my teeth. I probably don't eat as messily as all that, but sometimes my nervousness causes me to eat clumsily which makes me even more self-conscious
Hiding... well I've had long hair almost all my life and I often hide behind that, using it as a curtain between me and other people's gazes.

I also spend all my breaks alone also,sometimes in my car,about hiding I also used books,earphone,wearing a cap among other things.......
i used to hide behind my camera also! or a big important looking book! that always worked as im sure there are not many people that would want to start a conversation about criminalistics or forensic entomology!lols!
now i dont really go out much, when my parents have friends round (which they seem to find as much a nescesity as breathing) i go out to my brothers treehouse and read, i do get the odd occasional drunk person wanting to ask what im reading, but i simply distract them by asking if they need a top up! lols!

Lol! If only that worked in my area. If one is reading, people here seem to have no problem interrupting them. In fact, the bigger the book, the more attention it grabs. haha
This kind of leads to my next question. What do all of you do when you can't go to the places or do the things that all you to hide?
The last few semesters, most of the instructors I have had are very much into "group assignments" and I seem to always get grouped with lots of girls, or intimidating guys.
