spitting habit/problem? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

dj_nav · 07-20-2005, 11:11 AM

Hi,
Ive noticed that I tend to spit a lot when i am outdoors. I do also spit when im indoor.. just not as much. On average i would spit about every 20 to 25 seconds when im outside. I think i might have picked this up while playing outdoor sports(baseball). Now the question is.... is this bad for me???.. how should i reduce the spitting??... or should i go talk to my doctor about it. Also, this habit was started about 5-6 years ago... but just recently(last 2-3 months) the amount of saliva i spit has gone up....

i can provide more details if u ask.

thx

I can't think of anything bad that could happen either than:
a) If you're not drinking enough water you can get dehydrated easily,
b) You might get severely chapped lips.
c) If you spit in someone's house accidentally, I'm sure if you have any decency it will be an embarassing moment for you.
d) Spitting in the street is illegal, or at least in California.

I used to spit a ton when I was younger, but then I got fed up with it (realized it was nasty and nobody wants to step in spit) so I just made myself stop. Now I hardly ever spit, even if I'm out running and feel the need to I just don't. Plus, I figure that's water I'd be better off retaining.

Only when I'm outside smoking a cigarette. I always seem to spit then. When I'm indoors I never spit. I think its just out of habit. It is gross and I should stop.

well.... thats the problem here too.. its not appropiate to spit when im with older people... among my friends its ok cuse they spit too...

soooo.... the only suggestion is too focus mentally to stop spitting????

Force yourself to stop, if you cannot do it just that way, then make a rule spit once give $1 to charitey. Trust me once money is involved, your self-control will follow.

Its not bad for you, but if you spit on someones shoe you may get your ass kicked. When I'm around friends that smoke they usually spit and I fall into the habit as well, for seeming no reason. I dont even think about it. I have to ask myself what the hell I'm doing and the urge to spit goes away.
