I have this habit of thumb sucking. It ruined the form of my teeth and i have braces now. I suck my thumb anywhere that I'm bored, or at night. I'm not sure if it is normal. HELP ME STOP!!!!!(I'm even sucking it as I type)
Many women I've dated were still sucking their thumb, usually when asleep so, yes, it's normal. What isn't normal was one woman who used to put HER thumb in MY mouth while I was asleep. This went on for the 2-1/2 years we dated and when it was over I couldn't sleep without a thumb in my mouth, mine. :(
thumb sucking is actually extremely common, some of you assholes do weird stuff too, so what the fuck are you puttin him down for?!!? also, if you really want to quit, do what i did to stop biting my nails, put this stuff on your thumb designed to get you to stop by just tasting how nasty it is. I'm not kidding, it literally tastes like a castra oil, apple cidar, goat piss, russian moonshine, dick cheese, doo doo butter paste. thats why it works, it will shock the hell out of you of how bad it tastes.
I have a cousin that does this, hes 19, been doing it his whole life, i see it like... idk smoking a square, its way healthier the sigs so, idc I think its pretty common, his mom does it too in her 30's somewhere.
Sucking your thumb isn't the only thing you suck you weird Son of a Bitch...
Ever watched the movie Thumbsucker? anyways don't do drugs.
But back to the thumbsucking... put hot sauce on your thumb... now try sucking it; repeat
Hi friend ! I've sucked my thumb for years since I was a baby ! I can't help it ! I wake up every morning and bomb ! I'm sucking my thumb ! My therapist said it calms me. If it makes you feel good then I think your fine if you do it for fun then I suggest stopping. It does mess up your teeth and can cause sores in your mouth.
I used to suck my fingers. My habit lasted for years and I finally stopped when I was around 10 or 11. I was scared to stop, because I thought I might die and whatnot. I needed to stop, because I was started to become ashamed of it.
I don't know if it's normal or not. There are allot of adults that do this but usually in privacy. It could be a comfort mechanism so, you should try to find something else to compensate for it. I suggest you wear a rubber band and flick it when you start to feel the urge. That or flick yourself to get rid of the need for it.
In the south, people used to have strange methods for it. Sticking the fingers in cow dung or putting hot sauce on them, etc. One of my uncles used to do it when he was a kid. They put dung on his fingers, but he'd wash it off. They burned his fingers with the hot sauce, but he still did it. He finally stopped when he caught doing it by his peers. I think those methods are rather cruel.
I used to suck two of my fingers. They started to push my teeth outward and now my fingers don't really look like the others. My middle finger developed a callus, that took a long time to heal. It's still there, but much flatter and slightly pinkish. The skin on that area has been permanent "rubbed". It's smooth and discolored, the normal features are more towards the side. It's not that noticeable, only if you look hard enough or in certain lighting could you see it. My teeth aren't as pushed out anymore....

There's advice on the net, but it's mainly for children. I'm sure that it could help you too, though.
Good Luck!
Normal if your 1 or 2 years old. Anything older then no... It will ruin your teeth as you have found out and you will probably get teased for it. Doing it alone if it comforts you though is probably ok. How old are you?
