I still suck my thumb when I'm lonely or upset.
It's a kinda comfort.
Don't feel childish about it, lots of people do still do it.
Chin up. :)

I have a really good friend who does, and she's 17.
It's just a comfort thing. When I was little I never really did suck my thumb, I had a teddy bear and I would suck on his ear while I cuddled up to the wall next to my bed (something about how solid and safe the wall is really comforted me) and that's something I still do today, just not with the same bear sadly.

So don't feel childish, we all have our own little quirks :)

I'm almost 20 and i still do sometimes, it's got a lot less now but i used to do it so much! It will eventually faze out, my mum tried to force me to stop and bribed me with a kitten, i had to pretend i'd stopped cause i found it really difficult!

A lot of people have/still do it.

what_the? 04-05-2008 09:47 PM

yeah, I'm 18 and I still do, generally when I'm tired, ill or stressed though....I just can't seem to quit, I wouldn't stress about it though!

~invisible~girl~ 04-05-2008 10:05 PM

I never sucked my thumb as a child, but if I had I probably still would... I do still sleep with a stuffed animal though, and I'm 21.

I've seen people around my age sucking fingers or stuff. Um... there was also someone walking around campus last night with a pacifier, but she was probably on drugs or something, cause classes ended on Friday, so idk...
