Is it possible to determine a person’s character by appearance and behavior? How to find out a person's character by his favorite food
There are many different ways recognize the essence of each of us. Psychologists do this by facial expressions, handwriting, signature, and even lipstick. Astrologers learn about us by the date, place and time of birth. And we want to tell you how to understand a person’s character by his favorite food, because food preferences can tell you a lot better than any soothsayer or brain scientist.
Show me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are!
What secrets do people around you hide when they sit with you? dining table? It turns out that by the food you eat you can determine not only your spiritual essence, but also physical health person. Everyone has long known that there are no comrades for taste and color. We’ll put off talking about color preferences until next time, but we’ll talk about taste preferences right now.
1. Omnivores
These people eat everything. They have no special preferences, love or dislike for anything edible. Most of these individuals, of course, are men, but even among the fair half there are unscrupulous eaters. Such individuals are free from ill will and envy; they are workaholics who have a variety of hobbies and interests.
2. Potato lovers
It would seem, how can you tell a person’s character from a potato? It turns out that you can use it... Potato growers do not tolerate liars and they themselves never lie. They like to watch science TV shows, read serious books and philosophize. They love comfort, children, and are very persistent in achieving their goals. Potato lovers do not make decisions right away, but their choice is always correct and beyond doubt. Such people are very productive at work, although they themselves are phlegmatic and a little lazy by nature. But the main problems of potato eaters are considered to be osteochondrosis, urolithiasis and cholelithiasis.
3. Those who have forgotten why they sat down at the table
These are artistic people who can be recognized by their great love for their hobbies. As a rule, when thinking about food, they are content with only a few sandwiches and coffee. But they have to pay for this with intestinal diseases, vascular dystonia and problems with the thyroid gland. Such persons do not burden themselves with family responsibility, so their children are often left to their own devices.
4. Wine, cigarettes and elbows wide apart on the table
Yes, yes, there are such eaters. They smoke and drink right during breakfast, lunch or dinner, placing their elbows wide on the table during the meal. What do you think is the character of such people? We would like to note right away that children feel uncomfortable in the family of greedy parents, and relatives come into such a house only out of necessity, but not to visit. In addition, frequent conflicts occur in such families. Masters of drinking and smoking, arrogant and satiated with the blessings of life. They are the darlings of fate and take it for granted. Naturally, such a lifestyle cannot but affect your health. Those who like to sit wide while eating often suffer from vascular diseases, sleep disorders, headaches and psychopathy.
5. Fans of spices, hot seasonings and exotic dishes
Finding out the character of such individuals is a very useful thing, if only because it is better not to go on reconnaissance missions with them. These are prone to lies, capricious, restless and reckless natures that can get out of any situation. Such people are very touchy, do not like criticism, are bad leaders and unreliable friends. They enjoy traveling and reading science fiction. Money goes to spicy food lovers, but it doesn’t stay because they don’t know how to manage their finances correctly.
6. Flour lovers
You can easily recognize such people by their shape. Of course, not everyone, but most flour lovers are overweight. The character of bull-eaters is flexible, they are not susceptible to criticism, often change jobs, show little initiative, are prone to reasoning, are unforgiving and non-aggressive. They often have sexual problems, suffer from depression and “nerves”.
7. Meat eaters
This strong personalities who live in constant tension. Such people are prone to introspection and are difficult to get along with in the family. Meat eaters are financially secure, but they pay for their wealth with diseases, the spectrum of which is very diverse.
8. Sweet tooth
People with a sweet tooth can also often be recognized by their protruding shapes. There is no way without this. The costs, so to speak, of the love of the sweet life. It is very easy to find out the character of a chocolate eater. This is an individual who responds adequately to stressful situations, is purposeful and practical. But his brain works smoothly only thanks to the sugar reserves in the body. And hence diabetes, obesity and all the ensuing consequences.
It’s not difficult to recognize a person’s character by his favorite food. But do not forget that these must be systematic observations. Don't make hasty conclusions after one meal. Remember - this analysis is just the tip of the iceberg.
Often we want to guess, predict how a person will behave in a given situation in life. And, in general, after some time from the moment of acquaintance, people become predictable for us, or rather, we can “predict” their general (global) line of behavior. But sometimes it is worth knowing in advance what a person is capable of and whether it is necessary to maintain communication with him at all. It turns out that this can be done by carefully monitoring a person’s behavior during the lunch meal.
Knowing the “decoding” of a person’s behavior at the table, one can draw conclusions about his character and assess prospects for the future. Agree that it is quite appropriate to start acquaintance with a joint lunch or dinner in a cafe or restaurant, or maybe even in a regular dining room. And such knowledge will also become a kind of entertainment at major holidays, when you can read like a book about everyone present. You can even arrange a kind of performance-prediction :), but I’m digressing from the topic, let’s continue...
You may mistakenly assume that this will be about how to properly hold cutlery, but in reality, this is not important. Correct handling of devices is only an indicator of the degree of knowledge of etiquette and norms established by society. But it is behavior that will help us determine character; I would even add relaxed behavior. That is, the environment should be such that a person relaxes and does not think about being evaluated.
Basic gestures, behavior
And so, while talking over a meal, pay attention to how your opponent uses his hand free from cutlery. She will be your guide to his hidden inner world. By the way, it should be added that these signs determine the character of both sexes.
The free hand is clenched into a fist, sometimes so tightly that the nails dig into the palm - this is a person who is very secretive by nature, he is very aggressive and prone to scandals. But on the other hand, such a person is very demanding of himself, prone to dreams and will certainly be a good responsible worker.
The free hand is relaxed, the palm (turned up or down) lies on the table - dreamy romantics who believe in fairy tales and trust everyone, indiscriminately. Their absent-mindedness often plays into the hands of petty thieves who want to profit from someone else's wallet. And gullibility leads one to seek help from fortune tellers and healers. They are sensitive and attentive to other people’s problems, they can immediately give advice on what to do and they will be right, which will provide indispensable help in establishing love affairs, but not their own. Because for some reason they are blind to themselves and when they do stupid things they sincerely do not understand what their mistake is.
The free hand rests on the knee, some people add raised shoulders and a “drawn” head into them (of course, they do all this unconsciously) - beware. Communication with such a person can result in troubles, because such a person is characterized by cowardice and, through measured cunning. Thus, such a person will always look for the opportunity to extract the maximum benefit for himself in everything and, if necessary, remain on the sidelines, unless the situation suggests praise and reward.
The hand is on the knee and at the same time squeezes it tightly - this person is very diligent in everything, but at the same time he can be greedy. Positive side firmness of intentions, awareness of the reality of the goals set and the ability to achieve them, weeding out what is not promising. Love for such people is based on calculation: as a permanent life partner, they choose those who are madly in love with them, but at the same time allow themselves to flirt with those who are more interesting to them.
Hands are relaxed, placed on the table at the elbows, hands raised up - a person has “crazy hands”, he knows a lot and is constantly improving, calm in any situation, they are often called optimists, because they are able to joke and see the good in everything. He is quite patient, but it is better not to test his patience. They remember the offense for a long time and in order to earn forgiveness, they will need to try very hard.
The free hand rests on the edge of the table, as if supporting the tabletop - mischievous personalities constantly on the move. Their life defies logic and common sense. They are straightforward and “bulletproof” at first glance, but later it may turn out that for an insult or favor (help on their part) you will be presented with an invoice for payment and not necessarily in monetary terms.
Everything seems clear and logical, if not for one BUT. Many people eat with bread and if they do not hold it in their other hand cutlery, then there may be a piece of fragrant bread in it, and then the hope of determining its essence is lost? Not at all. These are separate types of people.
If a person eats bread slowly, thoroughly, or puts a piece after taking a bite on the edge of a plate/napkin, then everything is fine. There are no “scary” character traits that should be avoided. But if, when biting off bread, a person presses it tightly to his lips and bites off several times in a row, then you should beware. Most likely, this is a person who absolutely does not understand jokes directed at himself, despite the fact that he himself probably makes fun of others. But his strengths this is responsibility and romance.
Separate group - brilliant people, who, by the way, can be confused with hard-to-think people. Such people eat with one hand and place their chin on the other. They may suddenly stop eating, put the fork/spoon aside and suddenly begin to think about how hard life is for people in the far north and put forward theories about what should be done to help them. They often withdraw into themselves, and it can be quite difficult to reach them in order to return them to the promised world.
These are the basic indicators that are not difficult to remember and easy to apply in life. Of course, these are not axioms, and for every rule there are exceptions, and the characteristics are quite extensive, but quite sufficient for you to decide whether to trust a person right away or test it in practice and check more carefully.
The fact that gait can tell about the condition inner world, there is nothing surprising. A person’s character can be determined by his favorite sleeping position, and some believe even by his eye color. A person’s gait is connected with his worldview, with self-esteem, with relationships, with the society in which he moves and with which he interacts. So walking can reveal many secrets.
Posture. You can tell a lot about a person by their posture. Slouched shoulders and a back like a wheel, of course, do not look good on anyone, and are simply harmful to health. If, when walking, a person tries to remain inconspicuous, slouches, looks down or to the side, this reveals a feeling of awkwardness or even guilt in him. On the contrary, straight posture speaks of self-confidence and awareness of being right in deeds, intentions and views.
Step length. It is believed that the shorter the step, the more insecure a person feels. And vice versa - large steps reveal a self-confident and powerful leader, even, perhaps, prone to dictatorship.
However, it is necessary to take into account another important criterion - the walking speed with which a person usually moves, since the characteristic that his step gives changes from his usual pace. Short, fussy steps - really not the most best way show the world confidence in your abilities. But if a person, especially a short one, prefers short, but slow, heavy steps, the characteristic comes out completely different.
Walking speed. If the person you are analyzing prefers small, but not fussy, but slow, firm steps, you have a person in front of you who probably knows his own worth and is in no hurry to prove anything to others. This step may be preferred by short ladies in leadership positions. If the steps flicker uncomfortably, it will not hurt for their owner to work on self-esteem and on how to present himself during a conversation. Such a person may have a lot good qualities, but they risk being undisclosed and not noticeable to the world.
Quick, wide, sweeping steps are taken by those who are ready to lead people thanks to their extraordinary leadership qualities. A swift gait is a sign of a strong-willed, but sometimes selfish person. A slow, wide step characterizes those who are not used to rushing and running at the first call. Typically, owners of such a gait do not like criticism and are hostile to advice.
Foot position. If the foot does not leave the ground at all when walking, and the steps come out shuffling, as if a person is afraid of losing his shoes, this indicates a lack of aspirations and guidelines in life. Such people may become stuck in the past and mired in missed opportunities, especially if this symptom is exacerbated by something like slouching. Feet with their toes turned inward reveal someone who doesn’t want to stand out, but if they are apart, they show, on the contrary, a person who confidently stands his ground and strives not to miss anything.
Hand position. Gesticulation while walking reveals a sociable and easy-to-communicate personality: it’s as if the person can’t wait for you to stop, and already in the process of walking he engages you in a dialogue. He can be a storehouse of ideas and very versatile in conversation topics.
The usual movement of the arms along the body, especially with a springy or athletic gait, indicates a person who is optimistic and striving for a goal. It’s as if he is already moving towards ideals, barely putting on his shoes and stepping outside the threshold of the house. Walking next to such a person, you can feel this infectious attitude.
If your hands do not move when walking, you should pay more attention to them. close attention. Hands hanging sluggishly along the body may indicate a soft character or amorphous intentions. If the hands are tightly pressed to the body, their owner is now timid and, perhaps, somewhat withdrawn in life. Hands hidden in pockets indicate distrust: the interlocutor seems to be in no hurry to extend his hand to you if necessary. Perhaps he feels threatened by you, whether it is justified or not, or he is immersed in solving his problems and is not in the mood for too frank conversations.
Head tilt. Not only those with complexes, but also thoughtful, self-absorbed people can walk with their heads bowed low. True, the latter often still look around, with their heads in the clouds. High head lift and upturned chin - a strong-willed, but overly self-reliant person; It will be difficult to come to terms with such a character.
It’s been a while since there have been any articles on the topic of communication psychology. It's time to improve. So, determining a person’s character at the first meeting - let’s break this topic down.
When starting a conversation with a new acquaintance, we consciously or not very much try to figure out what kind of person he is, to understand what can be expected from him, to determine his character and interests.
It’s clear that understanding a person’s character at the very beginning of acquaintance can greatly, greatly increase the effectiveness of communication. That is: achieve more favorable conditions cooperation, quickly turn the head of a representative of the opposite sex, and generally get what you want.
Quite often (mostly in glossy magazines) you can find descriptions of various techniques and techniques with which you can determine a person’s character
By:
- appearance
- clothes
- individual biographical facts and nuggets of information that can be gleaned from the beginning of a conversation
- manner of holding (how a person places his feet, holds his hands, etc.)
- individual style of his room or office
- and for anything at all.
It’s not just popular publications that convince us that such techniques work.
Classics of literature also contributed. If a new hero is introduced into the story, then he is necessarily equipped with a couple of details that, in meager, precise strokes, indicate his character.
And yet, often such techniques really work. By clinging to a detail in appearance or clothing, we really seem to unravel the complex tangle of a person’s character. The way a person behaves subsequently confirms this.
Why did such a question arise at all - “is it possible to determine a person’s character from first impressions”?
It's very simple. The reason is that these methods sometimes land in a deep puddle. With a loud, loud “plop!” sound. Here are just a few examples from my experience:
- The short man, when the topic of literature came up, admitted that he reads mostly ladies' detective stories - and, as a rule, in the bathroom. ( A conclusion is quickly drawn about the intellectual and cultural level of the interlocutor). And twenty minutes later it turns out that this man is a doctor of science and the author of several dozen respectable scientific publications and in general an extremely smart and intelligent person. He’s just taking a break from hard work in the field of science;
- A taciturn and strict girl who gives the impression of an “iron lady”, when tested, turns out to be a painfully romantic and sentimental creature - so much so that there is nothing to even compare with and nothing to illustrate (an example will still not be good enough) - so take my word for it;
- Looking at the desktop of my computer can make anyone shiver - and such a person will probably decide (there were precedents...) that I am a monstrously sloppy and disorganized creature. I can say that this is one of the rather few manifestations of laxity that, in principle, I do not consciously eliminate. Too much order and discipline is also not good.
a) Man is often a very contradictory creature and individual (few) facts can give him exactly the opposite characteristics.
b) Often a person specifically strives to make a certain impression, which, as a rule, has little to do with his real character.
c) One and the same fact (biographical detail, detail of clothing, etc.) can speak of directly opposite things.
We can continue here. However, the above should be enough to understand: life is not a novel about Sherlock Holmes, and reading a person’s pulp entertainment does not mean that he completely lacks taste and intelligence.
To get a true understanding of a person’s character, you need, if not a pound of salt, to communicate with him for a while.
And now practical conclusions:
1. There is no need to specifically analyze a person’s character based on first impressions.
2. Don't trust your first impression too much. The following mistake is especially common (not too
people). After talking with a new acquaintance for some time and seeing that this acquaintance is superior to them in some way (in some particular area), people tend to believe that this person is better than them in everything else.
