Is it normal to hate feeling full?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, lots of people dislike the heavy or stretched feeling of being full, especially after eating past comfortable. If even normal amounts of food make you feel distressed or lead you to avoid eating, that’s worth paying attention to.

Feeling pleasantly satisfied and feeling stuffed aren’t the same thing, and plenty of people really dislike that heavy, tight sensation. It can also be a sensory preference: some people simply feel more comfortable when their stomach doesn’t feel very full.

If this is making you skip meals, restrict what you eat, or feel anxious around food, it may help to talk it through with someone you trust or a health professional. Otherwise, it’s okay to prefer stopping at comfortable rather than full.
