In general, we tend to make different food choices wheneating with other people versus eating alone5.
Summary
So, what does this mean & why is it important?
Now, just because you enjoy wine or chocolate doesn’t automatically make you a narcissist.
Several factors influence food choices, including upbringing, culture, activity level, mental well-being, and more.
(Previous studies have found that openness and conscientiousness positively correlate with moreplant-based diets6, for example.)
As expected, this seemed to bleed into their food choices.
This recommendation could prove particularly important as narcissistic tendencies increase around the world.
“Everyone these days seems to look for a moment of glory,” says Lunardo.

Narcissism can impact many elements of our livesincluding, it turns out, our diet.
