I have a habit of chewing on my shirt..?


Question:
Sorry, I wasn't sure how to categorize it. Ever since I was little, I've chewed on my shirts. I was chewing on one of my shirts and then I realized I had glitter in my mouth from the shirt. Does anyone else do this? How can I keep myself from doing it?

Answers:
Chewing on your shirt is an Addiction, a lot like smoking in the sense of the oral fixation. I had a girlfriend who affixed on pens and would chew them until ink came out (which was Kodak moment). I suggest you do something to prevent yourself from chewing on your shirt whether it be chewing on gum or a straw (like smokers trying to quit do), or simply muster enough motivation to be strong willed enough to go cold turkey without chewing on anything. It would help if you told your friends about your goal to stop so they can point out if you err and subconsciously start munching away at your shirt in the future.

It's just a nervous habit. It can be kind of annoying to some so try chewing gum or something else.

Easy way out is to not wear shirts.


umm. Don't chew on your shirt.

Buy gum and try too chew it for awhile; see if it helps.


Get a spray bottle (like a rinsed out windex, or febreze bottle) and fill the bottle up with something that wouldn't taste good like soapy water, or pepper water (any liquid that wouldn't taste good) and lightly spray your shirt. You could also try putting a wee bit of tobasco sause on your shirt where you usually chew on it (only when you're like chilling at home wouldn't wanna walk around at the mall or some where with tobasco sause on your shirt.)

Hope it works!!
