This just happened this morning and I feel really bad about it. My boss is buying lunch for everybody and I said I didn’t want anything. Everybody else was shocked and questioning me about it. I’m not trying to be a dick theres multiple reasons I dont want to eat. For one I usually only have one meal a day at night because I have trouble eating so it’s always a chore for me to eat food. Secondly I have missing teeth and I have a flipper in with fake teeth that I would have to take out in front of everyone to eat so I’d rather save myself the embarrassment. I’m diabetic and the food they want to get would skyrocket my blood sugar and I would need to take a shot which I dont want to do right now. Lastly I work in a cleaning job and I dont want to touch food while I’m working I’m paranoid about that even if I wash my hands. just all in all dont want any food but I feel so awful about turning it down I dont want to seem disrespectful especially because I’ve only been here a week. Am I the asshole here?
