So I am 16 in September, and I am an incredibly slow eater. (Sometimes a roast takes me 2 hours or more). Despite my skinny appearance, I do not have a small appetite and I eat a large amount of food. However, this takes up way too much time as I take so long to eat. Yes I lose focus when I’m eating, but my main problem is my chewing and swallowing. It takes me a long time to be able to swallow even a piece of very tender salmon, I sometimes sit and chew the same piece for 15 minutes straight before I can swallow it, and my dentist/orthodontist hasn’t seen a problem with any teeth so far….

This is seriously going to be a pain in later life so please can somebody scampi why this is happening

first of all you have to give priority to your food and diet. and mostly keep other instruments away when you are taking your meal.

Maybe you have to accept yourself as you are!

Your eating seems a bit slow, but it is only a problem if YOU think it is a problem.

It's normal for many folks to take their time eating; there's nothing wrong with it.
