I believe that everyone has had some time or the other bitten their lip or tongue. Ooouuchhh If there was ever a most painful manner of constantly unintentionally hurting oneself thats it. I have had water come to my eyes so many times when this happens. It is sooooo painful. I remember as a child Id cry sometimes. I've had to watch or assist comforting kids who have done the same since then. Id be very surprised if there was someone out there who has never acidentally bitten their lip or tongue and be brought to tears because of the pain. You'd think after being incharge off our mouth for so long we would automatically avoid such accidents. What is the most common way you have brought repeated injury to yourself.

Oh no, you weren't with me else i would have pinched you and said same pinch. I am also in the habit of biting my lip or tongue, mostly my tongue is usually bitten while eating. This is my experience, each time i ave bitten my tongue I have tried to recollect the series of events in my mouth that caused it, but to no result. It almost occurs spontaneously, due to a small shift in postion of the tongue while chewing. One point i have observed is getting deeply involved in a converstation where you could not talk( ex: while eating) forces you into such situation

I seem to always be running into things and hitting the middle of my right thigh on things. I have a big purple bruise there almost constantly. It is really bad when I already have a bruise there and I hit it again making the bruise even bigger. That and hitting my toes on things.

Ouch... Double ouch. Hurting an already hurt spot must be painful. I stub my toes as well but not that hard and regular. Thanks for sharing you painful moments Lilybug
