I read online that Narcs can have stranges eating habits. Like wanting to eat dog food and other weird things like sawdust. I dont think I ever witnessed it but was wondering if any of you did. Its down right creepy.
Get this, he complains because I serve the food TOO HOT! Really, wow, wait a minute and it will cool down, have the salad first. Enjoy your drink - don't stick your fork into the streamming hot dish first - potatos and things with sugar in them tend to stay hotter longer. I still tell him which dishes are hottest and warn him everytime, if I do not, he howls and spits the food out. The other day all of my dishes were too spicy with hot papers and curry. He gagged and choked his way through the meal and guess what? A few days later he ate ALL of the leftovers after that perfomance. WTH?I hope he chokes on every meal he ever eats.
Mine chewed straws. They started as whole straws and when he was finished it was a small condensed piece of plastic. It drove me nuts because he did it all the time!
I mean REALLY chewing on pencils. The ex-Psych professor chewed those like crazy. I never went to his apartment, so I don't know how crazy his eating habits were. Alcohol seemed to be an important component of his diet.. as well as his fake vegetarianism.
Thank goodness there are cheap teething toys...
My eyes change color, Im a pencil chewer, I have lots of profile pics on my facebook. Im getting more worried about myself by the mihnute :))) LOL. I chew them but I dont eat them!
Luckily, there's a crocodile teething toy, for all of his crocodile tears. Just say I accidentally confused him with another son of N--- living in Massachusetts, and that it was an *HONEST* mistake.
I'm sure the ex-Psych professor practically ate pencils;there were rumors of him eating stranger stuff.
I had the ex-Psych professor for freshman lab class. So, there was plenty of yucky stuff around. I think he went for the dust and lint (just like my baby nephew! Except with my baby nephew it's understandable!) He liked grossing people with what he ate from the experiments, with the excuse "it's not an animal."
He'd tell me my eating habits were weird... but according to one of his male followers, he was weirder once he went off-campus. I think the raw meat and the other items listed were his kind of "foods." It's like the ex-P was an overgrown toddler. Except a toddler is discovering his world for the first time. He's new to it, getting a bearing of his surroundings. The professor, on the other hand, was 32(!!!)

Something I had not connected with narcissism until I read about Reactive Attachment Disorder is that narcissists I've known have had unusual eating habits or appetites, including eating match heads, dry cake mix, chicken bones, raw meat, dog kibble, egg mash, bits of paper, wood pencils; some binge or gorge on ordinary foods, others seem always to be on one or another self-imposed, self-invented eccentric dietary regime. This behavior does not seem to have much in the way of affective component compared to, say, "normal" eating disorders.
to about strange eating habits, mine was not that picky but for breakfast , everything had to come out exactly at the same time, like if the eggs were cooked and it took a few minutes for the toast, he would complain that the eggs would get cold, sort of like a little toddler, who does not have everything exactly his way. I too was conscience about eating with him, like he was always noticing how much i ate and once said, you must be hungry, you ate a lot.the constant walking on eggshells all the time.this has nothing to do with food bur if I passed some gas, which we humans all do from time to time, he would make me feel embarrassed, but when he was in the bathroom, it was like WW# and he would leave the door open as well, such a double standard for me and for him, what an ass!!!
This has cheered me up no end - sick of it, you read my mind. I was going to post this question a while back, but thought perhaps it wasn't that odd. N eats gravy granules out of the jar. Also - binges on chocolate, but then said it was my fault for buying it. Next time he came, I didn't buy any, and he complained that I didn't have any! I bought him an expensive meal, and he said he didn't like it and that I shouldn't have spent the money. He said I never cooked, so I made a special meal and then he said I shouldn't have spent so much time because he felt guilty when he had no plans to have a relationship with me. Another thing with food, he said I played with my food too much, but I got uncomfortable eating around him. When I said I didn't have a big appetite, he said I must be lying because I would be really slim otherwise!
Slight digression, but this is an interesting thread - and I wouldn't have believed the gravy granules if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes ! x
No, he was just REALLY picky! It took him 10 minutes to explain to a waiter what "exactly" he wanted and how he wanted them to cook it! I hope they spit on it. :)
Ready, I'll quote "yes, hello, how are you? I'd like the rib eye, rare, but not pink. Do you put onions on that? Ok, good I hate onions. Also, no weird sauces like dijion or any mayonaise product. And can I have that come out with my soup? I don't like to eat in shifts."
Ugh! Shut the F up.
Mine too, Blueeyes. la cucaracha could never order just the standard menu item. It always had to have all of these "ands" and "but nots". Then would get pissed of when they forgot one of the 58 details he added on.
Also, when the food came, he ALWAYS complained that it was cold. One time he asked if I thought his mashed potatoes were cold, so I stuck my finger in them and said "No, they're hot."
What a dick!!
It was the most annoying shit to listen to them order! Then the foos would come and he would complain.
Shut the F up! Lol. Ugh, I don't miss that crap! It was all a show I suppose. You know, all eyes on me here I am god speaking!
The ex-Psych professor had an incredibly BLAND diet. I've heard that alcoholism dulls the taste buds (he might have been), and Narcs tend to have IBS, so spices can be irritating. It didn't keep him from packing on the pounds with junk food. He claimed he was vegetarian... but he was caught eating a burger at a fast food joint.
He'd always roll my eyes when I put ANY spice on my food. I'd have vegetarian fare for lunch just to please (appease?) him, and so he wouldn't crack those "mad cow disease" jokes.
When my friends offered him some bacon, instead of a polite "No thank you",he said a snooty "I'm a vegetarian."
Now that I know some REAL vegetarians, have gone to a vegan potluck... the REAL ones are for the most part compassionate and courteous instead of preachy. Heck, I've even discovered raw food vegan cuisine... and it's pretty awesome. I have a bunch of vegetarian cookbooks... WITHOUT an annoying fake "vegetarian" boyfriend, THANK GOD!
Once, a hippie dude came to the dorms with kava kava, hauling it around in one of those water coolers. It looked like dirty water. I tried some, it was good. Of course, the ex-P went around mocking me behind my back for "drinking dirty water."
Some irony... I've got some kava kava tea at my place and I've been drinking it lately. I LIKE it. I REALLY REALLY LIKE it.
Ive read it multiple times now. Im interested to see if anyone else reports noticing this. I keep trying to think back years ago when I really spent alot of time with him and Im wondering if there were some weird eating habits that I missed.
LMFAO! I just got this mental image of my narc watching t.v. and eating dog food and it totallly fits! I mean, at least he wouldn't have to turn on the stove! Or a big box of laundry starch and a spoon!
Seriously, though, mine had one weird eating habit only: he both didn't care what he ate AND had strict rules about what he ate. So he would say, "No onions, no peppers, no black pepper, no pork, no meat sauce on pasta unless it's ravioli, no frosting on cake, a certain number of ice cubes in my drink, etc" but in reality he would eat anything you put in front of him as long as it was free. He did it with his kid, too. We went to lunch once, all of us, and there was a kids' menu with a choice of pizza, a burger or chicken fingers. While he was outside smoking, my daughter helped the kid choose what he wanted: pizza. When the narc came and found out the kid had chosen pizza, he sad he could either have a burger or chicken fingers but not pizza. Just because he wanted pizza. Or, more likely, because my daughter had helped him choose pizza and overstepped her boundaries. No lie.
Im here to entertain.... :). You know when Im feeling myself Im quite humorous at times. The Narc took that from me too.
Oh gosh does that sound narcish. Im turning into a narcocondriac.
no frosting on the cake Really? what f ing weirdo!
Smelling gas and plastic? That is seriously messed up.
I'm German and we eat something called Hackepeter, which is raw ground steak with lots of onions and garlic on bread as an appetizer, but not like straight out of the package!
I have seen shows about the weird eating thing and the disease is called Pica, I think. It's some kind of chemical definciency, so it makes sense, really, that narcs do it, since they are so fundamentally messed up.
Is this all...
weird and just plain stupid...
Mine chewed straws. They
