ACHOO

it came to my attention the other day that apparently, observing how a person sneezes can reveal his/her true personality. youre not really in control of yourself when you feel an urge to sneeze, and its often so spontaneous that you dont have time to consider how you want to sneeze. so you just sneeze in a way that is common and natural to yourself, pretty interesting. (unfortunately a sneeze cant really identify a persons morals, so you cant tell if a person is an evil mastermind, or an innocent angel, by the way they sneeze.) there are several "official" interpretations, if you want to see those you can check google, this is my blog after all so here are my thoughts (most of them are pretty exaggerated, but just to give a better idea):

first and foremost, there is the etiquette of sneezing. covering your mouth and/or turning your head to sneeze in an indirect area shows you have at least a minimal amount of courtesy and social hygiene. you dont go around sharing your germs with by passers simply because you dont care or dont know that its nasty. covering your mouth can also point out that you are a generally well organized person who plans ahead. similarly, not covering or redirecting your sneeze makes you an inconsiderate slob, or an idiot.

"enthusiastic sneeze"
big, loud, and possibly multiple sneezes. very open personality, not afraid to share your own opinion. sociable person, when not sneezing that is.

"sensitive sneeze"
tiny, quiet, even at times holding your nose as to keep minimal volume. this seems easy enough to read. youre obviously a polite, considerate, and modest person. possibly too modest, and too kind. not being able to say no. quiet personality and keeps to him/herself, whilst keeping the best interest of others before themselves.

"ninja sneeze"
never sneezes when visible by others. a little harder to interpret, since you never have a chance to see them sneeze. but what you can tell is that they may be very superficial characters. either that or extremely shy to the extent where they hold in their sneeze as not to draw attention to themselves. maybe even an extreme version of the "sensitive sneeze".

there are several other sneeze genres, but i think i covered the most common ones, and i dont want to extend this post anymore than it has already.

BONUS:
Gesundheit- you know, the thing some people say after a person sneezes, like bleh-shoe (bless you). its actually german for "healthiness". probably as in you wish healthiness upon the sneezer. and people often say bless you cause apparently when you sneeze, you release your sins. OR when you sneeze, evil spirits corrupt your soul by entering your mouth. superstitious stuff.
