<human>: Hi everyone, so I just want to start by saying that I know I have disordered eating but that's not what I need advice about. I really need advice on how to handle how my anxiety over lunch is affecting my relationships with co-workers. 

I have a fear of eating in front of anyone, so I will only have some light snacks or grapes throughout the day. I also have stomach issues so this ensures I won't have problems while I'm not at home in the comfort of my own bathroom/house. As with any new workplace, I didn't know what to expect from lunch. I know at some places where I've worked people do lunch at staggered times, some people all go out to lunch together at the same time, some people eat at their desk and chill, etc. I was hoping I'd be able to do something independent so that no one would see me eat, and no one would realize I eat snacks like a pre-schooler brings in their lunchbox. It's really embarrassing.

First day, I ate alone and all was fine. Second day, a girl saw me eating alone and invited me to eat with her. I went with her because I thought she meant literally just her, turns out she brought me to a huge table with 9 people. I was so utterly uncomfortable. I pecked at a few of my snacks and 2 people asked if I was starving and why I forgot my lunch. People also offered me money to go walk somewhere and get lunch or to have a bite of their meals. This is one of my worst nightmares in terms of social situations. 

So today, I decided just to not take a lunch break because I felt uncomfortable sitting alone again and acting as if I didn't want to be friends with my new co-workers. The thing is I do like them and want to get to know them and have a positive relationship, but now they gave me glances all day like I'm weird and I don't like them. What can I do?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
