blowing you off
When I was younger I would co-ordinate my breathing so that I would exhale if I was walking passed a person that I didn’t like or looked weird to me. I thought that by doing this that they would not be able to affect me in any way. I sometimes still catch myself doing it.








Wow. I thought I was the only one. I also breathe in when I see people/things I do like. I’ve gotten lightheaded before trying to control my breathing for just the right time.
I just did this today — it tends to be with old people (as if I’m going to catch ‘oldness’) or with people who look like they have issues of some sort.
i do the SAME thing. I CANNOT breathe in while looking at gross or ugly people. I seriously CANNOT do it. Vice/versa I will try to find pretty/attractive things to look at so I can breathe in and will breathe a lot looking at them before I can look back at ugly/gross things… this makes life difficult.
I do this to fat girls at my school. haha.
never realized it though, thanks.
Haha! I have to match my breathing with people. I do it all the time – especially if someone is sleeping next to me. When I’m reading a book, I have to breath like I’m reading the character is too. I don’t feel like I’ve read it right unless I do.
Actually, this is a technique that some guys use to make the woman feel like they have a ‘connection’. When your breathing is in sync, it gives the feeling of being a perfect match otherwise as well
