SciShow when I was in high school, they banned chewing gum from the campus because students were being irresponsible with how they dispose their chewed pieces of gum. Personally I've discovered that whether I'm chewing gum or sucking on a hard candy, I'm able to focus more on my work.

I manage a restaurant and I've definitely found that the best strategy for employees complaining is to let them vent and affirm that I hear them and agree. Generally it's something minor that doesn't require follow up, but other times it brings something to my attention that I was unaware of and I can find a good time to address the issue.

"Doctors recommend you not chew your nails at all as an adult"... Slowly removes finger from mouth.

The biggest problem with complaining *is* the catharsis, from all the science I have dug up. Like, in a double-edged sword way. It's really helpful for helping you cope with things that can't be changed, but really counterproductive for helping you change them, because the act of complaining about it seems enough for our brains to think we did something about it. (This is why you get inconsistent results on "is it helpful to tell people your goals?" Well, it depends on *how* you do it, and how they support you.) Sharing grievances does promote bonding to an extent, but like almost everything has a usage curve. Opening yourself up to showing you have an imperfect life is a gift and causes the same kind of bonding that any perceived debt causes (see also: science on doing people favours), but has the same issue of overdebt causing emotional burnout. Socializing is hard. //laugh//

Chew away. If your fillings fall out in your gum then the filling was loose to start with and needs to be replaced/repaired. If you keep that filling in longer, you just allow bacteria and the acids they expire to leak under the filling and damage the tooth, which undermines the filling even more.

I assumed it made me more alert in my bodies attempt to keep me from falling asleep while eating which could result in death by choking. Which has happened to lots of inebriated people that passed out while eating. I prefer chewing gum over eating because after eating I get even more sleepy which doesn't seem to happen after just chewing gum.

So complaining is just like gambling: you need to know when to stop.

Mark Twain: There are times, difficult times, trying times, when there's a peace given to profanity that is denied even to prayer. :-)

I think that being alert while chewing is probably some remnant instinct from one of our early ancestors as a defense mechanism because of how vulnerable one can be while eating.

I dont think so. We can just spit it out in a second or just gulb it down. Even if we dont our Body can defend himself in the same way like we wouldnt eat something. Dogs Etc have to be more alert because of there lack of Defense while they are eating. They have to put there Face down, its loud and they cant defend thereself while they have something in there Mouth

For number 5 I recommend a simple suggestion to increase the benefits. Make your complaints funny. If you can complain in such a manner that allows the listeners to laugh at it, they probably won't mind listening to it. At least in my experience. This takes some practice, but if you can pull it off, it's better for everyone

I love you, Hank! This video made me feel better about my life some.

The joint bubble thing reminds me of the mechanism pistol shrimp use to stun their prey. Funny how tiny traits can become so exaggerated.

And nail biting! Though I probably still messed up my jaw by falling on my head too much... TBIs not even once (if you can avoid it).

You nailed, the annoyance, and the secondary emotions of that guy chewing in the cubical over so perfectly, it had me laughing hysterically. :3

This video is priceless!!!!! Thanks for the post!!!!!

when i hear any words including swear words, i will translate it into their meaning & state of emotion etc; as long as those words aren't ill-defined, i'll never matter what words they use

Everything in moderation.

great video thx for another one :) near the end you mention complaining and how you might not want to rethink it again but actually you're MORE correct when you say therapists often recommend you don't bottle the emotions up. I've been going to therapy a lot lately. and the one thing I've learned. is that therapists love for you to let out all the bullcrap that builds up because reliving it is part of how the brain processes your encounters in a healthy way.

telling people not to complain is just unhealthy advice. i still love u tho mr greeeeeeeene bean

I’ve been chronically ill since I was 11, and was too ill to physically attend school at age 14. My Dad never quite understood why I would go over something that was bothering me about my health, sometimes going in a circle. But... I couldn’t control my health. I couldn’t control my treatment (my parents and doctors decided on it and I just had to go along). And when things went badly, I blamed myself a lot of the time. If I could think about the situation and come up with a strategy to manage my pain and anxiety, then I felt I had done my due diligence in trying to do what I could to control the situation. Sometimes it was just the illusion of control, but it still helped. It let me feel I’d done what I could. If I skipped that and I had a bad day or a lot of pain, I could blame myself for not strategizing and making newbie mistakes because of it. And I always have better brainstorming sessions when actually talking to someone. So while it looked like a comiseration party, it was one of the only ways I could control my anxiety and stress in a really bad situation I couldn’t escape from, with very little I could do to influence the outcome. Thank goodness now I’m at and age that, though my father still doesn’t get it, he respects that for whatever reason, it works for me, and he doesn’t try to tell me how unhelpful it is for me to do it anymore. Thank goodness for small mercies.

I'm glad nail-biting is a "when you're young" thing... I bit my nails when i was young, but I couldn't imagine doing it now.

Great episode!!!

My best friend of 20 years and I don't get to see each other very often because we now live several hours apart. We have become so close because we air our greatest, darkest, most selfish grievances with each other. It's the most cathartic relationship I have because no matter what happens, I know I have someone to tell my honest opinion about the situation and my feelings will be validated, it truly helps to feel better and move forward after a stressful situation.

I can't wait for my mom to watch this.

i have something to add to number 3, swearing: there is complete consensus why swearing lessens pain. go ask just any martial artist why he is doing the noises when striking. you will be surprised, i promise! =)

I'm super confident that "swearing to endure pain" is directly linked to, if not the same exact phenomenon as, grunting/yelling to get those last few reps in at the gym

Something that I have done all my life is chewing my tongue when I’m nervous or focused. I remember when my mom noticed when I was around 8 years old, and I noticed that I still do it during times I need to concentrate.
