How you squeeze your toothpaste and what it says about Your Personality!
Each day, most of us upon waking up, our next step is usually to clean up and then kick start the day. One of the first activities we take into action is brushing our teeth. Of course, this isn’t limited to timing (you can brush whenever and at any time you wish), as medics advise/ recommend that we should always make it a point to brush our teeth after every meal. To be able to execute this activity, we always make use of toothbrushes and tooth paste. Tooth pastes come in various brands such as ABC Dent, Fresh Up, Delident, Close Up and the most commonly used one right here in Uganda being “Colgate”.

We have all heard about the correct way of squeezing the toothpaste out of the tube, but have you ever paused to wonder that the way you squeeze the tube might say something about your personality? Well, according to the Bright Side; it is stated that Psychologists say that 40% of our actions are not conscious decisions but habits. What we may consider to be insignificant actions actually make up our daily routine and they’re a huge part of our life and they can reveal a lot about our personality and current mental state.

If there is no specific place from where you take out the paste, you are a very artistic and creative person. You live in a surreal world and not a lot of people get your imagination.
