No need to feel shy of contagious yawning!

hello sir,

I think this not my cup of tea. I really hate humans yawning. As you have mentioned, I feel shy if I yawn and would try my best to conceal it. But the yawning of animals like dog, cat, tiger, lion etc., is quite admirable to watch.

When I was reading this post of yours, I was feeling very sleepy but did not yawn.:-D

regards,

Vanaja

 

Cheeniya sir,
I also yawn if someone yawns in front of me. I also yawned while reading this post (really).

"I feel proud that I am very empathetic and my social awareness is very high too."

I do not know if I my social awareness is high, but I can be proud of (kassa? panama?).

Sir, coming to last sunday's Super Duper, I liked the one who acted like Rajini (I am not Rajini's fan) and second was one who acted like Sivaji. I am sorry to disagree with you.

regards,
Sindhuja

 

Cheeniya Sir - Classroom environments always make me yawn whether it is in school, college or even work-place seminars and meetings. Sitting in the last row in school and college gave me a lot of opportunities to yawn secretly. But I prefer the open loud yawn - they are more satisfying. Maybe I will never find a place in the good manners book. The secret and noiseless yawns induce me to yawn more.

After a dollop of curd rice, walking into an Economics noon class is the ideal breeding ground for my yawns. Sometimes, I would cover up the yawn as if I was sneezing. But yawning in secret gives room for a lot of facial exercises, especially when the teacher's eyes are zooming in closely. The mouth yearns to open and while it is going"OOOOO", you have to contort and push the expressions sideways.

 

Hi Cheeniya Sir

Well there are many theories on this one... earlier people used say that you yawn when you are sleepy...

but actually the yawning being contagious is because.... A lack of oxygen in the environment makes a person yawn... lack of oxygen is also responsible for making us feel dizzy... so there goes the sleep theory... if you see a person yawn and you yawn too it means that overall there is less oxygen in the room you are sitting.. so ultimately everyone is goin to yawn one after the other.... lo here I'm yawning too...

Dear Sri,
A good Topic to discuss.I too gotta chance to read the article in HINDU about yawning.My hubby is one like you. He waits for someone to yawn:-D and he yawns instanteously...
After reading that article i was a bit convinced, that may be my hubby is very emphatetic.

I personally dunt feel shy to yawn, but I make sure i'm well mannered while doing so.To make a mention I feel highly irritated when someone attempts to talk while yawning or produce a loud noise in tat process.

Yawning, sneezing, coughing are all natural process and we humans do not have a control on it(do i sound like Rajinikanth??).But ppl can make sure that those are treated with some good mannerisms.

 

Dear Cheeniya Sir

Another wonderful post....how do you select your topics..you can make even mundane things look very attractive.

Like Aishu,I think yawning is a natural process,why feel bad about it...something scientific too like when one yawns,the pressure outside one's ear or something drops,so that prompts another to yawn and so on. I don't remember exactly.Read this somewhere a long time back. At home,if I need to yawn, I do it freely,opening my mouth wide...it sure is a great feeling! :mrgreen: But yes,when in the presence of other people,we should mind our manners and close our mouths with our hands while yawning.

 

Dear Sri,
Please see where your post lead me !
When you posted it, I was online and made a note of the time. It was 9.54 PM.
Then more out of curiosity, I wanted to wait and see, having written about yawning, how long you could wait to sleep.
What do I see? you logged out within a few minutes ! I was so certain that, the time being nearly 10pm, not only your yawning continued in a series, but you slept off possibly.

Well, now, coming to the contagious part of it, on reading your post and particularly the title, I started yawning and though I had a few posts to reply, I shut down the computer and promptly went to sleep !

I agree, there is no need to feel shy of contagious yawning, but one does feel embarassed to yawn if you are expected to be an attentive listener when somebody is talking to you. I do not think, the "talker" will attribute it to my empathy but mistake it for my feeling bored which may not be the case always.

Writing about this topic has already triggered of, the obvious in me now !
Love,
Chithra.

 

Cheeniya Sir
I am going to start off by saying that we have the most wonderful and gullible group of ladies here. They have innocently believed that your were writing about yawning. were you writing about the act of yawning?? ofcourse not. You were spinning a yawn about how "emphatic" you are. Caught again in the act didnt I?? I know the only reason our dear Chithra replied so politely is ofcourse being the charming person:tongue that she is and reading the post around 9.54p.m might have been caught offgaurd. but me no way. i'm reading around 11.30p.m with the oil in eye i mentioned on your other thread.Next time BEWARE coming back to topic; why do you want to convince us you feel empathy?? the dictionary says its an intellectual reaction which i'm sure you would'nt know ,now would he CHithra?
