Page 2 | To think that most “foodies” are just using their diet to mask deep insecurity about their personality?

What does this mean? 😆

I think it means the OP is a sour dough, aspiring to be a vegan hot cross bun.

I’m in the process of adopting a home made bone broth personality. I even bought mason jars.

I use mason jars in my sourdough personality!

I wouldn’t say ‘friends’ - more like people I’ve encountered. But fair play, maybe I should take your advice and expand my social circle!

Good luck with that 🤔

No I haven’t, I like the people I hang out with. Why are you friends with people you obviously don’t like?!!!

I have more of a Creme Egg personality, I fear.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 24/03/2025 21:53

It's no different from any other enthusiastic interest or hobby which people incessantly talk about though, is it?

If your personality is just your next meal, maybe you need to look in the mirror and realise you have nothing else to offer.

I might have an hard boiled egg. One that's been left a bit so that the yolk is surrounded by grey. I probably won't manage to get the shell off smoothly, it will end up resembling a white shiny hand grenade. It will explode in my stomach just as I have fallen asleep. I shall rise above the bed due to my eggy murmerings being unleashed from within.

Then, and only then, I shall congratulate myself and feel smug.

Surely you could say this about literally any person with any hobby. This "making XYZ their whole personality" insult that the internet currently loves is so bitchy. Just let people enjoy things.

Literally this 😂😂😂

one person finds passion in nutrition, someone else in fitness, another in crochet. If you see someone who loves tennis, always talk about tennis and post photos of them playing tennis on SM, is that an identity crisis?

or are you just shaming that one poor friend who struggles with their body image who looks for encouragement through documenting their diet? Bit shit really, just let people enjoy what they enjoy

If you’ve never come across this type, consider yourself lucky! I’m talking about people who act like their food choices make them more interesting than they are - constantly broadcasting every meal like it’s a personality trait. It’s less about enjoying food and more about using it as a substitute for actual depth.

TheHateIsNotGood · 24/03/2025 21:48

It's a toss up between cheese on toast and a microwave meal for me tonight. Quite happy to receive any food offerings from a 'foodie' in crisis. Although I do live in an arse-end type of small town in the SW so not many foodies with PTSD around.

So you think if you like nice food, that’s your whole personality? Why? I know a couple of chefs, definitely foodies - they have personalities.

Of course people can like food and have personalities! I’m talking about those whose entire identity seems to revolve around what they eat - like the ones who constantly narrate their meals as if it’s a life philosophy. There’s a difference between enjoying food and making ‘being a foodie’ your entire personality.

I’ve no idea what this means. I’ve never met anyone who bases their personality on their lunch (and I live in wanky London). Maybe you need new friends?

Of course! But I’m talking about the people whose entire personality revolves around what they’re eating next. It’s less of an interest and more of an identity crisis.

Show quote history

Have you and your friends visited too many buffets? I can see how the choice can be overwhelming. Maybe stick to a meal deal? But will you have a sandwich or a salad? Crisps or fruit? Sushi or a chocolate bar?

I can see where you’re coming from now, my personality is all over the place just thinking about it!!

I don't know anyone like this and I used to eat for a living.

I'm not sure you understand what the phrase 'identity crisis' actually means, either.

I seem to have turned into one of those protein wankers you see on instagram. Is that what you mean op?

Have you maybe had a drink? On a school night?

If the shoe fits! But hey, at least you’re self-aware - most people I’m talking about take themselves way too seriously. And no drinks involved, just an observation!

Brazenhussy0 · 24/03/2025 21:40

This feels like it's aimed at one very specific person, OP 😂Are you ok?

And no, I don't think anybody bases their personality on their meals and I would suggest that if this is all you are seeing of someone's personality, then you are probably more likely to be the problem than they are.
The only exception to this would be if they have an eating disorder... in which case they deserve empathy and kindness, not derision.
