Behavior in the most ordinary situations can tell too much about us even to a stranger – you just have to pay attention to the details. The most “talking” habits are collected in this material – check yourself!
Drink coffee without sugar
Surely, among your friends there are people who prefer drinks without sugar, including “harsh” ones, like black coffee. Scientists claim that the habit of drinking strong coffee without additives can be a sign of a tendency to psychological disorders. In addition, fans of tonics and other bitter drinks are more likely to exhibit traits of narcissism and sadism – they can be hypocritical, vain and selfish. And also – to enjoy when other people suffer. At least when it comes to coffee without sugar!
Go to a solarium
With the spread of information about the negative consequences of tanning in a solarium, its popularity has noticeably fallen. But still, studios offering such a service are not left without devoted fans. The desire to tan under ultraviolet lamps at all costs, regardless of possible harm to the skin, is associated with a tendency to addiction. Researchers have come to the conclusion that solarium lovers are more prone to alcoholism. They develop addiction six times more often.
Demonstrate success
As unpleasant as it may be to admit, beautiful pictures on social networks have little to do with the real state of affairs. And even when we share our achievements without embellishment, this is an alarming signal. Happy people do not strive to impress anyone with their success, they do not need to prove anything to anyone. Have you noticed a desire to pass off wishful thinking as reality? It is better to spend time not on another verified post, but on understanding yourself and your desires. Likes will not please you for long.
Take a cold shower
Scientists claim that people often use the shower not only for its intended purpose, but also as a mechanism for emotional compensation. It is believed that the more time a person spends in a warm shower, the more lonely he feels and wants warmth. Those who like to douse themselves with icy streams of water are usually stubborn and egocentric, they find it difficult to accept the opinions of others.
Use the shopper
Oddly enough, but scientists’ observations have shown that those who actively use cloth bags instead of plastic bags are more likely to buy sweet drinks, bars, chips and other unhealthy products. The researchers explained this pattern as follows: supporters of shoppers feel that they care about the environment. This encourages them to treat themselves to something tasty (even if harmful).
Read the composition of toothpaste
Almost any product can take the place of toothpaste, but it is paste that is ideal for the experiment. It can be divided into two types: with and without fluoride. The difference is fundamental, but this information is not immediately visible on the packaging – you have to read the composition … but only for those who care. A 2012 study showed that people who looked closely at the tubes are used to delving into details and have an analytical mindset.
at slowly
Table habits largely demonstrate behavioral strategies outside of meals. Those who prefer to eat quickly are often ambitious, ready to go straight to the goal and endure inconveniences for the sake of new impressions. Connoisseurs of slow meals are not inclined to rush, preferring to weigh all the pros and cons before making decisions. By the way, picky eaters are often neurotic. And omnivores, on the contrary, easily leave their comfort zone.
