How can I stop feeling anxious about my bitten lips before a date?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I mean, I bite my own lips. Haha

It’s just, when I am nervous or worried, I get so into it, sometimes I get myself bloody.

The day before yesterday I was nervous a lot about something and bit my lips without noticing until I felt the taste of blood and pain. I seem to have bitten off quite well if you could say so and now that it’s healing it looks swollen and like the part of the skin that was wounded and the lipstick covers it but doesn’t look smooth, looks injured.

I myself pay attention to beautiful lips and they should be kissable and looking healthy, and hate showing up on this date looking this suspicious, I hope he won’t think anything bad? It’s genuinely my bad habit that I went a bit too far with the other day. My mom has the same habit too… But I get lost in thoughts more often and lose track of it. Hate it… But that is what it is.

I don't think it's so much lips, but it is probably more the anxiety that you experience before one of these occasions. I suppose you could do some meditation to see if it helps. If not, of course there is always drugs that somebody could prescribe for you to help you feel calmer. If you do something like that. Just be very, very careful because those things usually interact with alcohol in a very bad way.

You lips are already bitten. You can't change that. If anyone (your date?) asks about your swollen lips, just tell them the truth. You bit them, it's something you sometimes do.

FYI, I occasionally bite my lip while eating. It's not that abnormal.

You’re probably just overly nervous which can be normal. I doubt he’d even notice. You can try some over the counter options or just don’t do anything, I doubt he’d notice.

Chew on a couple pieces of gum instead of your lip haha

You could punch yourself in the eye also and then tell everyone that you're a hobby boxer.

Just tell the date that you bite your lips out of habit when thinking about stuff so they will know why your lips are swollen. as far as trying to stop the anxiousness that’s going to take some time and willpower

[exitseven]

give yourself a minor electric shoclk every time you do this. A car bettery should be enough.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven A bit drastic, but it will work. You don't watch ElectroBOOM on YouTube by any chance, do you?

[exitseven]

@AviatorTom no. it is how I stopped biting my fingernsils.

Try using an unpleasant tasting lip balm that may deter you from biting.

Smoke a little weed to get rid of the anxiety

[msc545]

Actually depending on the weed and her state of mind that might make it worse.

[spartan55]

I will bet he won't even notice.

Take a pill 💊

Not meant for medical reasons just saying

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

What pill? I don’t have any condition, I caused this injury to myself mechanically… It’s not herpes or anything, god forbid.

[Jennz6]

@lafemmefatale_1
I’ll tell you in private

[Jennz6]

@lafemmefatale_1 did you get that?

[Jennz6]

@lafemmefatale_1 I do the same thing as you

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Get what? I don’t think any pill can heal a bitten off lip 🤣

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I really bite it off, you don’t believe I think

[Jennz6]

@lafemmefatale_1
I believe you honey, I was just thinking about the next time

[love_conquers_lust]

Stop eating your lips.
