Why do we chew our cheeks when we're bored?!


Question: Why do we chew our cheeks when we're bored?
I don't know about the rest of you... But I will sometimes catch myself subconsciously chewing on my cheeks. It doesn't hurt, it's a habit I have always had. I came to realize I was not the only one who did this! Some of my friends admitted to having done it... And I was reading online that there are others who do it quite frequently. What are your takes on it? :)

I chew on my tongue when I'm bored and sometimes it bleeds. I also start on my lip, and those bleed. I've been to a psychiatrist for it, and they had to put a muzzle on me until it healed. But I'm better now!
