Admit One

Spoiler below!

I like having stuff in my mouth and playing with stuff with my mouth, lips and tongue. Also, i'll inb4rudejokes right now It's a weird tic/habit/something. When i'm doing anything (doing homework, reading, playing videogames, ANYTHING) and I have something near me that my mind categorizes as ''good enough'' I pick it up and begin playing with it, in my mouth.
Example, as I typed this, i've been moving a broken paperclip in my mouth. Letting it hang on my bottom lip, turning it over with my tongue...etc. I used to chew pencils but the really gross taste beat out my tic. Replaced pens and pencils with "flavorless" items (like the paperclip). I also bite my nails and fingers. I don't know why but I like the feel of biting nails and fingers and playing around with stuff in my mouth >_>
I feel it's a great stress reliever. If i'm in a public space and I get the urge and suppress it I sometimes get a bit uneasy. Not a smoker, surprisingly enough, though I DID love those old school fake candy cigarettes stores sold.

It's actually an incredible stress reliever to bite/chew things (... I definitely don't bite things, nope - and I definitely don't prefer chomping on headphones and icecubes - and most certainly never in public). I'm pretty sure it's not super unhealthy (excluding possibly being electrocuted or ending up with poisoning) unless you start biting on yourself to inflict pain. Then that's something you might want to stop before it gets too serious (because that's considered self harm).

TL;DR - I'm pretty sure chewing on things is normal - kids do it, stressed out people do it, we buy things for babies so they can do it without injuring themselves, you're not doing too bad c:

I don't bite electronics, my mind goes ''WEE WOO WEEE WOO WEE WOO, DON'T".

Icecubes are my ''public chewing'' items. Nobody seems to mind.

I bite my fingers and hands but not to inflict damage. It just...feels good >_>

Never hurt myself doing so.
