Are you the type of person who can’t even consider watching a movie without a good snack to munch on? According to a study out of Switzerland, people with certain personality traits are actually more likely to overeat than other people. If you can’t pass up the opportunity for seconds, maybe you have one of these traits …
Sensitive people: People who are emotional eaters soothe their feelings with food, and more often than not emotional eaters are more sensitive people in general.
Extroverts: If you’re the life of the party you’re also likely prone to eating more. According to the study, extroverts are more prone to overeat simply because they go out more and socialize more than other people. Eating out, more often than not, involves more calories.
Neurotic People: Just like sensitive people, people with neurotic tendencies are emotional eaters. The study found that they are more likely to consume sweet and savory foods when they are overeating.
People Pleasers: If you hate conflict you probably eat more than you want to when you are in the company of others — because eating in front of other people makes them feel more comfortable.
