Imagine holding hands with your date and looking into his/her eyes while you’re at the table for an amazing candlelight dinner night. “Achoo!”— you just sneezed right into his face blowing the candle out. That would have been a nightmare, isn’t it? You don’t have to be sick to sneeze. A sneeze is our body’s defense mechanism against foreign elements that try to get into your nose while we breathe. Even if it’s not a bad thing, the time, place, and the people you are with can make sneezing a disgust-fest if you don’t close your mouth on time. Also, some people sneeze so loud that the window glasses shatter. But, who really gives any thought into the way they sneeze right? Well, after reading this article, you might start noticing the way you sneeze as well as others sneeze, because the way you sneeze can reveal a lot of things about your personality (who would have thought)!

Want to know what you’re personality traits are according to the way you sneeze? Read on.

The Controlled Sneezer

This is the person who always tries to control their sneeze, but then, succumbs to the intense urge to let it out. As a result, the person sneezes louder than he/she expected and can become embarrasseing. If you are a controlled sneezer, you are a person who becomes very conscious in public places. You are good at planning and you are very enthusiastic. However, you often feel the necessity to please other people, as a result of which you end up hurt. For this very same reason, you have lost many opportunities that you could have made use of for your own growth.

You are the loudest sneezer the world has ever known. People’s ear hurt when you sneeze and they surely do make fun of you. Sadly, it’s not your fault and you shouldn’t feel bad about it. Sometimes, no matter how much we try, we cannot sneeze with low volume. It’s kind of an inbuilt thing. If you belong to this group, you are a very innocent person. You are intelligent and a bit of a nerd. And, you are creative to an extent that you can win anyone over.

You are the one who sneezes in a socially-accepted manner at a socially-accepted volume. You cover your mouth with either your hand or a tissue before sneezing, and you make sure to add an “excuse me”. Even if you are a person who follows all the rules, there is a rebel deep down inside you who wants to break loose. Also, you are a born leader. You can influence others to believe in you and your plans, which are always quite good. However, you sometimes lose your focus and end up messing your own plans. The best thing that you can do for yourself is to let go of all the fear inside and start exploring the fun side of your life. You’ve been getting stressing way too much.

This person doesn’t really have one particular style of sneezing. You will see them sneeze in different ways at different times. These are the people who actually have a certain extent of control over their sneeze. They might sneeze loud and open into the air when they are alone at home, but they also know how to sneeze in the “well-mannered” way when they are out in the public. If you are a chameleon sneezer, you are a very smart person. You know how to get out of trouble really fast, just like a chameleon and you always get what you want. You are a good talker and your self-confidence is rock-solid.

The Serial Sneezer

Haven’t you ever seen someone sneeze continuously? This is a serial sneezer. They just can’t stop at one big sneeze and they usually sneeze at least three to four times continuously. This person is either sick, has constant allergy trouble, or is very sensitive. If you a serial sneezer, you are a very kind and calm person. You love your family more than anyone else in your life and you’ve got it all sorted. You have a very attractive personality and you are quite matured when it comes to making decisions. Your most attractive features are your eyes and your smile. You are also quite the artist and maybe, good at either singing, dancing, or painting.

The Spray Sneezer

Sorry to say, but if you’re a spray sneezer you spray your mucus and saliva all over when you sneeze (not good). This can not only get the people around you sick, but also give them a very bad impression of you. You need to carry a tissue or a handkerchief with you and make sure you sneeze into it, or at least close your mouth with your bare hands. You are a very confused person and always get stuck in situations. It’s hard for you to make decisions and you end up letting fate decide. You’ve been hurt before and that has made you fearful of making decisions. But know that it’s important to get over it, and take charge of your life.

No matter how you sneeze and what your personality is, just be your own self. But, always maintain hygiene and try to cover your mouth when you sneeze. Also, don’t forget to take this article with a pinch of salt. What is your style of sneezing? Let us know in the comments section below.
