Some characterictics: There are certainly individual variations in people with bulimia, so there's a wide range of possibilities. But, some resources comment about impulsiveness and desire for immediate gratification. Also they may worry a lot, and may lack self confidence; they have an extremely strong need to be accepted by their peers. They can be very sensitive towards others' needs, but overlook their own.
