I never close my mouth! >.<

Post Reply New Topic

People always give me remarks like "cheer up" or "smile" when I'm in a perfectly good mood. I've gotten used to it, but the other day, I caught myself in a blank stare with my mouth wide open --and had been that way for quite some time! Is this how I really look all the time!?! I looked in the mirror at the face I was doing and I looked so stupid. No wonder all of the comments! I asked my friend if my mouth is always open (like a drooling monkey) she said yeah, most of the time! (No wonder my lips are always chapped!!)

i guess i'm a mouth breather also.

I have to breathe through my mouth. I have severe allergies and my sinuses are always congested. I have had allergy shots but they did not help. I do not want to constantly take medication for this; I already have to take enough medication. So, I end up breathing through my mouth. I no longer care if it makes me seem a bit odd.

My only problem is that some people use "mouth breather" as an insult. I have never understood why. It seems like such an odd thing to be concerned about.

This is actually very normal. Just don't worry about it.

My partner and I are both big time mouth breathers. I sometimes feel self conscious about this; occasionally I'll be on the subway reading a book or something and I'll realize I'm gaping like a fish. I have to laugh at myself...I look at my honey when we're playing video games or something and he does the same thing. I think it's cute

I imagine the comments are still annoying. After all, you can't really help it. I for one have my mouth open often enough. I sometimes have to keep it open at night. Snott I didn't know I had in my throat likes to block my air way. It doesn't matter if I have a cold or not.

Then these large cockroaches show up now and then, and that can be annoying and make me choke to. I learned quickly how to hate those things.

I don't think breathing through your mouth is anything out of the ordinary. Lots of people do it. I breath through my nose though, but I don't really see it as a bad thing. It's just the way you are.

It's not particularly breathing out of my mouth, it's just me having my mouth open-with a dumb expression/stare on my face. That tells people "I hate life"

I catch myself doing it all the time at home. I learned to be self-conscious about it in public, because when I was little my mom was always pushing my chin up and telling me to breathe through my nose. XD

what is even worse than being perpetually mouth-agape, is to be seen drooling absent-mindedly.

Somewhere during teenage years, i got into the habit of sucking on my tongue, the vaccuum it creates keeps my mouth shut. Try it

Yep. No wonder people are telling me to cheer up and that everything's going to be okay.
