Gluttony is a kind of psychological compensation, indicating that the individual has been wronged or hurt

Eating too much for a period of time indicates that the individual has suffered a certain amount of damage.

People who have been hurt always make psychological compensation in a way that is not perceived by others. Some people are hurt, the performance is sleepy; Some people are hurt, will through the fantasy to compensate; Some people become greedy after they have been hurt. Psychological compensation is not a psychological disorder, it is essentially a kind of adjustment to the self. Many people find that they are eating more and more without knowing why, causing unnecessary worry. On the one hand, eating too much causes body anxiety; On the other hand, because eating more will bring a burden to the body, affecting health. As long as you find out the specific cause of gluttony, you can eliminate your inner concerns and naturally return to a normal diet.

What harm can cause an individual to become greedy?

Neglected by his family

People's initial sense of value comes from their families, and individuals will feel wronged if they are ignored by their families. The need to expect attention from others is not met, resulting in psychological trauma. Although many people do not feel "hurt" by being neglected, long-term neglect can have a serious impact on an individual's sense of worth. At this time, the individual's inner world is out of balance, and a new balance must be obtained through psychological compensation. Gluttony is a good way to focus on yourself. When people eat, they can experience instinctive satisfaction, which satisfies the individual's need for attention. Being noticed by oneself is also a kind of attention, indicating that the individual is regulating the inner balance through self-regulation.

Being rejected by your lover

The psychoanalytic interpretation of gluttony is: I want to keep you. When the individual pursues the person that likes is rejected, or does not like the person's positive response, will become gluttonous. Instinctual thoughts in the subconscious will be projected into areas where they can control themselves after encountering setbacks in the outside world. This means that people who are rejected by their partner not only become gluttonous, but also go to the bathroom less often. Rejection in an intimate relationship is a classic psychological trauma. As a trauma, if you don't heal it, then it's very difficult for you to develop to the next stage of maturity. Gluttony is a process of self-healing. Of course, this process is slow, unless enlightened by others.

Being denied by others

Gluttony is a kind of support for oneself. When individuals are denied by others, they will become gluttonous. Individual behavior is aimed at maintaining self-existence, which will be threatened when self-existence is denied by others. At this time, individuals instinctively defend themselves, and unconditional self-support is a kind of response to the negation of others. Eating is a kind of support for the self, not only provides energy support to the self, but also provides psychological support. Because when people eat, they feel full of power. Of course, as a means of psychological compensation, individual energy is limited. Only by truly facing the problem, can we gradually become stronger.

How to discover the truth behind your gluttony?

Comb through your recent experiences

When you're in the grip of a gluttony frenzy, don't stress, worry or even blame yourself first. Secondly, don't deliberately control yourself not to eat, first follow your own thoughts. Finally, it's about sorting out what you've been through recently. Because there is no pure greed, people actually have a certain amount of food intake. There must be "unresolved" problems associated with gluttonous people. Think about recent events that stand out in your mind. Think about events that make you look back and feel "overwhelmed" or even angry or angry. Look specifically for the things that make you angry, which may be closely related to your gluttony.

Analyze unsolved problems

When you find an unsolved problem, go through it one by one. For example, recently someone said something that made me really angry. He said that "the whole value of a woman is her figure", which made me angry, even to think about it now. But at the time I didn't argue back because I was afraid of getting hurt. The answer is obvious: your disagreement with the other person's point of view is not expressed in a timely manner. The reason you eat so much is a kind of projective resistance to the views of others. Because you're afraid to directly disagree with the person, you can only do so in safe, disguised forms.

How to get out of gluttony dilemma?

Identifying the problem itself removes the problem

When an individual discovers a problem, some people's symptoms will disappear naturally. They realized that the cause of gluttony, gluttony itself can not bring psychological compensation to the individual. As mentioned above, psychological compensation always maintains internal balance in an unobserved way. When we are aware of our own psychological compensations, we will naturally come out of the difficult situation. The problem of gluttony has been solved, although practical problems may still exist. Some people simply analyze the causes of gluttony, but find no change. This shows that the analysis is not thorough enough, not deep enough, did not find the key to the problem. Only when you deeply agree with your analysis will the gluttony disappear.

Confront problems and solve them

If the analysis of the problem does not find the key, there is a more stupid method, that is to directly all the problems. Make a list of recent experiences that have upset or upset you. There must be a reason for your gluttony. Instead of looking for any one problem, try to solve them all. Some problems may not be solvable, but you need to make an effort and take action. Confronting your problems doesn't really mean solving them, and no one is too good to solve them all. It's about putting in the effort to do what you really want to do. It takes this process of release to get you out of the rut of gluttony.

In a word, gluttony is often associated with personal injury. Only by healing ourselves in a better way can we avoid the trap of gluttony.
