5 Weird Eating Habits of a Narcissist
- They behave animalistically when eating.
Number one: they behave animalistically when eating. Now, nothing against animals, but I’m just helping you understand how their behavior may look. They make really loud noises, have zero table manners, do not respect other people who are eating around them, and do not cover their mouths. They make these weird sounds, as if they just want to feel the food in them. They don’t care what they’re eating or how much they’re eating; they just want to engulf it all, as if they haven’t seen food for years and this is the last meal they will ever get.
It’s crazy to understand, but that is how it is, especially with cerebral narcissists who are brain-centered, who are computer-like in their demeanor, and are completely dissociated from their bodies. They do not care about what they are wearing, how they look, or how they smell. I remember asking my father once, “How does the food taste?” He paused, looked at me while eating, and asked, “What do you mean by taste? What is taste?” I was taken aback. I thought, “You are a human being, and of course you have the capability to taste things, don’t you?” That’s what makes me think they lack a sense of taste or texture; they don’t care about it. He literally told me, “If you were to give me cattle feed and mix it with some salt, I’d eat it as well. It doesn’t matter; one should have something to eat, and that is enough.”
One may think, “Oh, that’s so humble of him,” but of course not—he was disgusting in how he prepared and consumed food. The crazy thing is, they start a fight if you make a request and ask them to chew quietly. If you say, “It’s bothering me; can you please keep it quiet?” they will perceive it as criticism or some form of attack. It’s not like you’re making up the problem or shaming them; clearly, they are not eating like a human being, and when you’re eating around them, it’s your right to eat in peace. But they steal that away, and that is entitlement. It’s not wrong to ask a person to just behave normally, but they don’t consider that aspect. It’s all about them, and how dare you question their behavior, for it is perfect. They might say, “There must be something wrong with your ears; go get them checked.
