Being Looked At Funny? Anyone Else? Posted: 09-26-07 14:57pm
People stare at me at times? i think they
can sense my mouth isnt quite right.
Sometimes i have trouble forming a word.
But i try not to let it bother me, but it
does happen. i'm 46 so at this age you
sort of learn to laugh at that. i also
lost a front upper tooth cause of a tight
tmj appliance so i wear a partial thing
that replaces the ONE tooth. UGG, but
people can tell that tooth is just not
right. Does anyone feel self consious? One
time i was at the dentists, and a woman
was there and she had her hand over her
mouth to hide the fact she broke off her
tooth. She went to get a magazine and in a
split second, i had flipped out my
denture, and had a big smile on my face
with a big HOLE!!! she laughed like
crazy.... so you cant get upset over these
things. cause if your a nice person, it
really doesnt matter to others.....
getting better, IS the most important
thing for us to do and to stick together
and figure out how to fix this TMJ!!!!

people take life too seriously......stare

at me, I either ask them OUT LOUD " What
are you looking at? .........it gets them
everytime..or I pick my nose or do
something totally off the wall to really
give them something to stare at. You
popped out your tooth and this made her
laugh...........I like you already! 46?

yes people look at me funny too. cindy--i
think youd look at me funny too if we saw
eachother in a store. what who huh? is
that cindy?????
I like to not give tmd credit for the
funny looks. I like to give myself credit
for it. I like to consider my self
nuts---dealing with tmd--it helps.
Ive always wanted to get some of those
fake teeth like the fangs or the gold
billy bob ones. i love being a dork lol
