Spitting

LegacyUser

Hey There, I have a problem with spitting.. its really getting me down like. When ever I am walking outside I spit all the time and sometimes when Im inside I do it without meaning to. Its so rude and discusting but I cant help it.

You spit indoors? like randomly on the floor or into a bin/tissue?

Is it something that you find you HAVE to do, every few mins or whatever?

If this is the case, you might want to see if there's a reason behind it. Do you have excess saliva or is it just a complusion to spit?

like randomly.. I dunno I just get the urge to spit and i have to..

If you have excess saliva and thats why you need to spit you could go get it checked out see why its happening but if your just spitting for no real reason then it is a disguisting habit and you need to snap out of it.
Please tell me there is a tissue involved when you spit indoors:eek:

well no because I dont expect it..

Its so annoying like.. I could be in a restruant or bar like or doing the shopping...

I think its just a habit, i dont think i have excess siliva

If it's just a habit and not actual excess saliva then it's something you need to work on. Perhaps the help of a therapist/hypnotherpist would be of benefit?

LegacyUser

no, cant do that like..

Il just have to live with it

Why not?

Isn't it something you want to stop?

It doesn't bother you? But in your first post you just said 'its really getting me down like'.I'm confused..

Hi OP,

it sounds like you have picked up a bad habit, if you try and become more conscious over it it might help, you know those reality shows like wife swap or the like and when the person sees them self on tv and how terrible they look it can shock them into changing,

maybe you just need to see what you look like doing this and how silly it looks for you to stop, become self conscious...

I know what its like i had a bad habit of pulling at my eyelashes and i couldnt stop it was like id be watching telly and just get into a thing of pulling at them but a few times i pulled a lot out and i looked like a freak,

actually it was a way of releasing a lot of anxiety i had and i did go to a hypnotherapist who worked in my local chemist and she cured me, i havent done it since, i have eyelashes again who who!


It was horrible and dented my confidence.
