minus-squareMiisha ♀️@lemmy.blahaj.zoneOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·3 days agoEh. You train on a banana (or a toy…) till it goes away. That’s totally how it works…right? /s
minus-squareBanana@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days agoIt did for me at least, started practicing once I hit puberty cuz I’ve always been a little freak.
minus-squareValerie Ashborne@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·3 days agoI wish. I really do :( I think, that in my case it is trauma that made itself appear later in life. Because it was never an issue when I was younger. Even dentist tried to say the same to me.

minus-squareAVincentInSpace@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agowait what’s the thumb thing (not the same person btw)
minus-squarekatiecakes@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 days agoAlso not the same person but it works for me. Hold your thumb tight in the same hand (make a fist, thumb inside), and know that it stops you from gagging. It’s obviously placebo, but even knowing that, it helps SO much.
