Earlier today, I saw a grown man in his car sucking his thumb! lol I couldn't believe it. It was really comforting though, because I suck my thumb as well..

We were at a red light and I lightly honked my horn at him and put my thumb in my mouth and winked at him. He had this shocked look on his face with a smile, then the light turned green and I sped off...I was a little embarrassed over that, but I felt the need to let him know others are out there! haha

Any other thumbsuckers out there? πŸ™‚

"no i don't for a long long time because my mom put hot sauce on my thumb lol. cruel capppies lol

i grew up loving hot sauce tho lol."


lol πŸ™‚ My mom used to threaten me with that all the time, and even if she did do it, it wouldn't have worked.


One of my friends parents put cow dong on his hand and it worked. I remember thinking, "If that were me, I'd just wash my hands really good and wait a day to resume" πŸ˜›

I remember one time i was in the car, and the driver in the other lane picked his nose and ate it 😒



lol, yup seen this b4 was initially horrified, grown-ass man and all but then to think of it, it's called digging for gold so you must preserve it back into the system πŸ˜›

my cousin still sucks his thumb,albeit much less then before.he's about to be 32 yrs old next month and he only do it around me and his baby mother..and he also lightly pinches and twists the tip of a pillow while he's doing it too..

i think people who do that are still child-like on the inside and haven't fully grown mentally..

The smile was probably one of embarrassment since you just embarrassed him. Certainly a thumbsucker, or hair flipper, or finger tapper, etc .. does so subconsciously and isn't aware they are doing it most of the time.

Like this below for example ......

I sometimes catch myself doing that, but the moment I realize it, I immediately stop.

In your attempt to help him, comfort him .... you probably embarrassed the fuck out of him.

Keep in mind that you pointing this out to him was actually to make you feel better for your own habit in which "shocks" you, as you said twice .... and not for him to feel comfort at all.

I don't think I ever sucked my thumb even as a child.

I did however have an invisible friend. Her name was Lucy and I pretty much blamed her every time I got in trouble. πŸ™‚

I'm a finger tapper. Although it's more like air drumming with my fingers.
