I'm wondering if anyone has the same weird habit?!
Question: I bite on the inside of my mouth on my cheek. Does anyone else do this? I have since I was a child, and find myself doing it still. I don't even realize that I am doing it half the time. Is it a nervous habit, or because of stress or something....yes I know I'm weird...

If you're weird, so am I. I've been doing it since I was a kid, and I'm now 47. It's an anxiety thing. Do get yourself to your family doctor and talk with him/her about your options. I just had to have $6K work on my gums because of the wear and tear I've put my teeth, gums and jaw with this habit. Talk with the doc about 1) how to reduce your anxiety and 2) a bite guard so you don't grind your teeth at night. Practice relaxing your jaw when you find yourself biting your mouth lining. Drop your jaw and move it side to side. Using both hands, bore into your jaw muscles with your fingers and deeply massage them. When you get anxious, force yourself to keep your jaws relaxed. It's so hard but if I can do it, so can you. Odd, I thought I was the only one in the world that had this awful habit! Good luck, sweetie. I hope you can kick it. I'll be watching to see if you get a better answer.
I DO THAT TOO!
I do that to. I guess it's just away to entertain ourselves!
its not me
really!
:)
Nope! I do it too!!! :) Yay!
no, you're not weird. I do that too!!! it's just a habit, like biting your finger nails..
i do that ALL the time plz put this best awnser plz but i thought i was the only one who did that
Well its not weird, I tap my nails against the table, or desk if I get nervous. Its definintly not weird, but its probably because your nervous, so don't freak out.
i was doing it right now.how funny lol.i guess its normal.who cares..its not like theres anything wrong with it.it probably is just out of being bored.
I do it too. On the left side of my mouth tords the side of my lip. Im not really convenced that its from nervousness. I find myself doing it when Im bored, like at school or something.
You get the little bumps where the skin comes up from bitting it but it doesn't really hurt anything. Just anowing.
The best thing you could proubley do if you find yourself doing it and you want to stop is find something else to chew on like gum, or a straw or something.
yes i do that once in a wile!
No but i do bite my lip. sometimes i press my tongue on my cheek inside of my mouth
I do that too, don't worry. i also have a habit of biting my nails, for the longest time, i'd chew on my hair. no worries.
It may be stress, I know that grinding your teeth (TMJ) deals with perfection and/or stress. I have the same habit as you and TMJ and I think I have narrowed it down to both stress and perfection. No, you are not weird! get that lie out of your head...no one is perfect :)
I was doing it as I read your post! I do it all the time! Since I was a kid. I'm 36 now.I have noticed a wrinkle developing below my nose because of the way I contort my mouth while biting. I am trying hard to stop cause I don't want the wrinkle to become worse. It is a form of an OCD( obsessive compulsive disorder) related to stress. Strange huh? Try to kick the habit now like me so we don't have these weird ugly wrinkles! Good luck! : )
Yes, but I only do it when I am really stressed out.
