Biting Myself

Every once in a while I will bite my tongue or the inside of my cheek. Why do I do this? I have been eating almost all my life. How can I not know where my tongue and cheek are?

I hate biting my tongue, right on the side and it makes that funny crunching noise. And then when your around people and it happens you make this stupid face and you have to tell them i bit my tongue...how embarrassing. At least when your teeth fall out you wont have that problem

but why do you think you do it? You have forgotten where your tongue is?

probably just not thinking about it. i dont do it that often, do you bit that front or just the sides?

 

sides and on the inside of my cheek the most.
And does a person really have to think when they eat. Think about moving the tongue and cheeks out of the way?

 

I do that not often. Not my tongue but the side of my cheek.
Hurts like hell!!! What is worse is then it swells up a bit and then
you keep biting it again.

 

Oh damn! I do the same thing. Drives me nuts. I bite my cheeks my tongue and also my lips. It's like I can't chew and think at the same time. Do you ever choke on your food when you breathe at the wrong time? You'd think we'd learn.

 

Some people say that with age, we lose some of our sensitivities.
Have you also noticed that when you eat with a spoon, you sometimes miss the mouth a bit, spill a little over your lips - and it doesn't really bother you?

A while back, this started happening to me, but then I made a concerted effort to pay attention how I eat. It doesn't happen anymore that I would bite my tongue or cheek while eating.

 

You could be subvocalizing: mouthing thought words at the same time you are chewing.
There are also movements we make with our mouths and tongues that relate to emotions. Clenching the jaw is an obvious one when we are angry. But there are other movements inside the mouth that are connected to feelings. If you are thinking of certain issues while you are eating, or are stressed and in a hurry, some of these emotional movements may get tossed into the chewing movements. Suddenly someone is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

It's an evolutionary trait. When you gorge your food hastily you often bite your tongue or inside of your cheek.
It's a sign you should not eat so fast.. eating fast means swallowing whole chunks at the time which is bad for your digestive system.
Makes one think doesn't it... ? Maybe fat people don't have that trait.

Warning: above rambling is complete bullshit

Great post, Fraggle...very informative.

...so I shouldn't feel like an idiot when I bite the side of my mouth. That's good to know.

so why would a person bite their tongue?

 

Well, yeah, it was well written, and it seemed as if he knew what he was talking about, but ....is what he said true? Or are you just impressed enough by his writing style to just believe it?

Oh, well, it looks as if you're just ready to believe it ...without any substantive evidence or documentation at all.

Sounds convincing.... although I think it is just one of those freak little accidents that happens every so often lol :shrug:

 

do freak accidents happen over and over to the same person?

 

Nope. You're just one of those "abnormal" people who bite themselves!!

Other than being hit or fall or have novocaine, I've never bitten my cheek or tongue in my life.

Good girl! You shouldn't believe whatever people tell you.

As to being abnormal, Orleander, is one of your breasts larger than the other one, too?
