Chewing Gum Attitude

Hmm.. I didn't notice that. But I don't like the gum anymore if it's already tasteless. And i guess chewing gum can be addictive too, i have known a person who always chew gum, and it's like everyday, everytime I see her, she always has a gum in her mouth. But for me, i find it inpolite to talk with someone when you have a gum in your mouth, and you look like goat if you keep on chewing gum. Maybe it's fine to chew gum but just be responsible enough to throw it or leave it in the proper container, not under the table or chair or wall. :)

Hahahaha! I never thought about it before but you are so right! What is it about chewing gum that does that? Yep, I've seen the "ditsy" gum chewers. They don't seem more confident; they seem more... uh... like they just don't care? Hard to put that into words but I'm sure you know what I mean. You know, I bet whoever reads this is going to start watching themselves in a mirror the next time they chew a piece of gum! LOL I wouldn't advise chewing gum at a job interview just to look more confident, though.

But be careful you don't chew it too fast or you could be accused of being "ditsy." Yeah, or bite your tongue.*L* I never really thought about it. I will have to pay more attention to that next time. However, I have to kind of disagree on chewing gum during an interview. It is kind of like chewing gum while singing, or while on stage acting (unless the script calls for the character to be chewing gum), it is just not done. At least this is what I was always taught. Maybe chew gum all the way up to the interview, then spit it in the trash can as you walk in the door. Can you imagine the look on the interviewer's face if you were to do that?*LOL*

I've never thought about it, but now that you're mentioning it... I think you're right 8P. When I'm chewing gum, I feel relaxed and its sort of an "energy boost" to my confidence... yeah, definetely true. I think I'm going out to buy some chew gum, jejeje Happy MyLotting and have a nice day! Xp

OMG that is so funny that someone else actually thought about that. My husband gets cocky when he is chewing gum. I have actually said to him "spit it out, you have the gum chewing attitude". I didn't think that anyone else in the entire world would be thinking about that!

Heh well I've read some articles that chewing [gum] increases brain activity or something, and if you do throughout a test [at school], it can help improve your score. Anyways yeah, fresh breath gives me confidence but I hope I don't appear "ditsy". Lol I will consider next time I have some in public. Hm I realize it looks even worse slouching to a side. Gotta be careful :o

hi there singout, I dont think that chewing a gum changes a person's attitude. I guess the only thing that might change is how that person appeals to others but his attitude doesnt really change. well thats just my opinion but this might also only apply to some people either

ive never noticed a change in attitude either for myself or someone else. though ive never made a point of paying attention to their attitude during gum chewing either lol! though i can definitely say that HOW a person chews their gum makes a difference in my opinion/perception of them! someone who is rapidly chewing their gum with an open mouth immediatly strikes me as being ill-mannered and dumb. lol everytime i see someone chewing gum like that, thats my first thought! my 13 year old as learned to not open mouth smack her gum a long time ago, thankfully. however i have noticed that when she is chewing gum she seems to be a bit less attentive to whats going on around her. she "zones" out more it seems. now that may just be coincidence. LOL!

Haha. I soooo get this, singout! I used to play competitive tennis and I would chew gum while playing important matches because of the attitude shift it would give me. There was definitely a confidence thing with it for me. Hee

Hello singout! I chew gum all the time. It keeps my nerves down. I do it to think too. I know it sounds odd but that's what I do. I found out that I drink less pop too when I chew gum. I think better, because my mouth is not running a mile a minute, and I feel that I got more energy. Or it seems that way. I am not over talking and I don't chomp on it--I have porcelan fillings. It seems to keep the kids quiet too!

Guess who, right again. I don't think it gives you confidence. I believe that if you are chewing gum you would be moving some other part of your body. We seem to be nervous or fidgety with our busy lives that we have to keep on moving. So the chewing of the gum is your outlet. I chew gum because I love gum, sweet taste and exercising my facial muscles. What? Not good enough?

I think that it makes you more alert. it does give your brain a little more oxygen as you chew it. I chew gum a lot and when I do I seem to be more productive. I also seem to be a little bit more carefree. I try not to chew with my mouth open, but it is more fun that way. Lets not forget to blow bubbles LOL.

Yeah - you're right. I never realised that before.....

hehe, Chewing gum definitely is an attitude changing habit. Personally, I hate those people who chew gum out loud, who walk the gum in their mouth, but do it very loudly, and don't consider what other people think of it. I think those people who chew it out loud have no manners, and are in a way ignorant. I definitely agree in that chewing gum sort of changed your mood, gives you more confidence, but it can also make you appear very rude.
