Satiety Suppression
Stress and competitive or fast-paced settings override the body's stop signals, so consumption and acquisition continue past need.
An everyday example
Trading, gaming or flash-sale environments where people keep buying or playing long after the initial goal was met.
What it can cost you
Continuing to acquire, spend or work because the environment never lets the 'enough' signal through.
Warning signs
- I passed my target and kept going.
- I cannot remember the last time I felt 'done' here.
One thing to do
Set the stopping rule before you start — a number, a time, a quantity — and let the rule, not the feeling, end the session.
