To answer the question, you are not holding pizza.

Maybe OP “diana” meant the way the kid on the left is looking at the pizza…

I saw a social media post that sounds true so it must be… I did something good for myself! Now lets keep ego/doomscrolling social media.

I could find none of it via google except maybe the clenched jaw. The vast majority of which are from sketchy health clinics pushing dumb shit to fleece rich people from their money.

So no, scientifically, it doesn’t.

Put your tongue wherever you want, keep your posture moving and in a comfortable position, and if you clench your jaw so hard you grind your teeth, then you have Bruxism, which is something entirely different you slack (relaxed!) jawed sheep lol.

Want better stress relief? Quit doing coke. Quit drinking alcohol. Exercise. Eat better. And most of all, get sleep. If you can’t do any of those on your own, go to a doctor and get help for it.

At the risk of overanalyzing a tweet, this is actually generally good advice. Scanning your body to release tension is a common stress-reduction coping skill taught in therapy, and in clinical settings is often referred to as “progressive muscle relaxation”, which has been shown in many studies to reduce stress in the short-term. If you google this term, you’ll have better results.

Here’s an NIH article that covers a few things, including progressive muscle relaxation:

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8272667/

It’s not intended as a permanent solution for underlying causes (e.g. doing coke or alcohol, like you said), but more of something to mildly reduce stress/anxiety in the moment.

I also bite my cheeks and tongue.

I’m not sure what release I’m reading, but maybe some of our stress is related to primary-school failures drunkenly vomiting letters onto Twitter and holding them up like a watercolor needing a fridge.

pantyhosewimp,

Yes! I was like:

If you are reading this release, your shoulders —my shoulders what?! There should be a verb here! What does she know about my shoulders? What kind of press release is this? Oh, I give up.

Jax,

(In my experience) Most people type the way they speak and people who carefully articulate themselves are outliers. Grammatically correct written English is also very different from the spoken word.

I get what you’re trying to say. Unfortunately when the majority of what you’ve read is online is in spats of 150 characters or less (or whatever low character limit you’re working with) and an even more substantial amount of what you’ve written is within those constraints… On top of most of your interaction with the English language being incorrectly spoken English otherwise? It’s not hard to guess the end result.

This is something you can blame Twitter for. Blaming the user is odd, considering what they have to work with. Can’t blame people for communicating the way they know how.

2 entire pizzas? No wonder homie got the water.

I’m sad that’s it’s economically infeasible to be in a relationship.

Nanomerce,

I’m not entirely sure that I would even be able to eat an entire pizza. Kids are truly built different

GluWu,

I can eat an entire pizza but it’s more sad and disgusting than cute.

gmtom, in Young love

Plenty of people would loom at you that way, you just push them away because you’re scared of intamacy/ are full of yourself/ aren’t ready for that. (Delete as appropriate)

SouthEndSunset, in A self-care reminder

This doesn’t magically make you unstressed.

I’m sure there’s more detailed advice in her book.

corsicanguppy,

Please, I hope to god it’s been edited my someone who passed high-school.

KeenFlame, (edited )

Scientifically it does though

SouthEndSunset,

Ok. Forgive me for being cynical, I just think if the reason for being stressed remain, they’re still going to effect you.

themelm,

Yeah but its like a cycle thing. Having tense clenched up muscles can make you feel more stressed and when you’re stressed you clench those muscles. So you can manually get a little break. You’ll still go right back to it if the root causes remain though.

Also Magnesium Glycinate supplements basically stop muscle clenching for me especially as a side effect from ADHD meds or other stims.

But also the roof of my mouth is the natural resting place for my tongue keeps me from clenching my jaw so you can’t listen to every silly tip.

KeenFlame,

People act like this isn’t science, like we don’t give medicine to people for well researched reasons for these exact things, like medicine is something they know more about by lying about it being “magic”

KeenFlame,

Not true, medical papers about the connection between relaxing the body and stress exist in multitude

blanketswithsmallpox,

You’re mistaking relaxing your jaw and shoulders for meditation mate lol.

KeenFlame,

No

lemmyman, in Young love

This makes me anxious, my kids would absolutely flip both of those pizza boxes and/or stomp on the pizzas with their random limb flailing carelessness

Knitwear, in Young love

Um, can’t we let kids be friends?

Kusimulkku,

They could be calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend I suppose. Sometimes even small kids do that

Ferrous,

Which is still very much learned behavior, often the result of an uncle pestering “So little Jimmy, got a girlfriend yet?”

lolcatnip,

Heteronormativity in action.

Kusimulkku, (edited )

Almost everything we do is learned behaviour. Could be as simple as hearing adults talk about it to each other or calling people someone’s girlfriend or boyfriend.

lolcatnip,

It’s most likely taught behavior, IMHO.

SCB,

My daughter has had crushes since kindergarten and absolutely no one has asked her if she “has a boyfriend yet”

Kids develop crushes. You don’t need to make it weird.

ADHDefy,
@ADHDefy@kbin.social avatar

I had a little girlfriend when we were in first grade. lol I don't recall anyone ever asking me if I had a girlfriend or anything, and I had plenty of friends that were girls and no one ever teased me about it that I remember. I knew it was okay to be friends with girls, I just had a crush on this one. We played Zelda together and talked on the phone for hours about whatever dumb things first graders talk about, then her family moved to another state. It was my most successful relationship to date. 😂

Ferrous,

Yes, your daughter has had the quintessential American child experience which is most likely going to underscored by taking place in a western-flavored cis heterosexual context. What I’m saying is that it’s all relative. Your daughter’s relationship experience will be different than an ancient Egyptian, or a Native American, or a Viking. There is nothing “natural” about the way we currently partake in relationships as Americans. And my point is that it is weird to assert “My child is so in love!” Let them express things on their own. Give them that freedom.

SCB,

Man if you knew me IRL you’d find this fucking hilarious.

13esq,

Calm down, I don’t think they’ll be needing “the talk” any time soon, it’s just an internet post for fun.
