If you are the one who gets iCk from someone you date regularly – you may be a narcissist.
In recent years, disgust of what romantic partners do, say, and even wear things has become popular on social media.
According to a study published on personality and individual differences, those experiencing this feeling often have personality traits that indicate narcissism.
In the study, the researchers analyzed 74 men and 51 women, ranging in age from 24 to 72 years old. They asked the participants if they knew what iCk meant and if they had ever experienced it.
According to PSY Post, the study measures “the possibility of responding to specific behaviors, completing personality assessments and answering questions about their dating experiences.”
Regarding personality assessments in which participants participated, those who exhibited anesthetic behavior were more likely to react negatively to a person’s deficit, especially when it contracted what they wanted in a potential romantic partner.
A science dive from Natgeo said the results also show that women experience more frequently than men – not surprising considering that adult women are “more sensitive than men”.
“Everything we don’t want to avoid, or we shrink from including iCk – controlled by this area of the brain [called the habenula]”California behavioral neuroscientist and author of “The Unstoppable Brain,” Dr. Kyra Bobinet, told Fox News Digital.
“This area of the brain is searching for anything that can’t be solved for you,” she said. “It has negative bias.”
As a result, based on studies of personality and individual differences, people will end things immediately (26%) or eventually (42%) with someone.

While many daily newspapers quickly got rid of potential suitors due to their quirks, study author Eliana Saunders said people should take Eax with a grain of salt and might think twice before finishing it.
“While this feeling of disgust may be a valid marker of partner incompatibility, it can also be a symptom of high sensitivity to sensitivity such as aversion, narcissism, other oriented perfectionism.”
“Before abandoning a partner, because their feet are hanging while sitting in a chair, we should think critically about why we feel ‘kick’ out.
