If you're uncomfortable with nursing among them, do ask if there is a room you can use. If that is too awkward, try to create your own private space by either going to a corner of a sofa where there are fewer people around, or turning to the wall or window to latch baby on.
If it is during a dinner at a restaurant (or even at home), you might find it that the table, being at you waist and sometimes chest level, does provide some measure of "privacy". Basically, the table blocks you and baby nursing. Just bend down a little to latch baby on, straightening your body up only after baby is nursing comfortably.
It would certainly be easier if you are wearing nursing-accesible clothes.

Another thing that i've learned after being a mummy is to be thick skinned. There is this incident whereby i was at the MRT station with my then 6mths old baby gal when she decided that she wants to feed again so i have no choice but to nurse her. While i was nursing her in the sarong sling, this uncle kept staring as he walk. i was quite irritated by his stare that i actually stared back. He was so surprised that i dare to stare him in the eyes and that made him turned away and doubled up his steps to the escalator.
