Unavoidable Actions: Relatable Things We All Do

As humans, we all have habits and behaviors that are hard to shake. Some may be weird or embarrassing, while others are just plain annoying. From biting our nails to talking to ourselves, here is a list of some of the unavoidable actions we all do.

Nail Biting: The Guilty Pleasure

Let’s start with one of the most common habits out there – nail biting. So many people are guilty of it but can’t seem to stop themselves from doing it again and again (1). Whether it’s due to anxiety, boredom or simply being lost in thought, biting your nails is often an unconscious act that requires constant vigilance if you want to curb your impulse.

While not necessarily harmful in small doses, excessive nail-biting can lead to bleeding cuticles and even infections (2). So for those trying to kick this habit once and for all:

  • Keep your hands busy with fidget toys or stress balls.
  • Carry around chewing gum you can turn towards instead when feeling anxious.
  • Use foul-tasting nail polish as a deterrent.

Talking To Yourself Is A Sign Of Intelligence

We’ve all had moments where we find ourselves muttering under our breath without realizing it; maybe you’ll question yourself hesitantly about what task comes next at work or discuss potential outcomes following an important decision-making moment. But did you know that this so-called unorthodox behavior actually means intelligence? Yes! Researchers suggest that speaking out loud helps us establish order among jumbled thoughts going on inside our heads (3).

Moreover,talking out loud, aloud pitch business ideas(professional)in front of an audience proves beneficial as choices become straightforward since words transform into action plans thus transforming imagined notions into accomplishment(research-backed evidence). Not content brainwashing yourself? Imagine other brilliant minds such as Elon Musk or Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates did so, so consider yourself in good company.

Picking Your Nose – The Least Talked About

We all know it’s gross, but let’s face it: picking your nose is one of the most unavoidable actions in the world, especially when a tissue or handkerchief isn’t available. Even adults are caught doing this sometimes without knowing where to stash their boogers (5)!

While there’s no harm in a quick pick every once in a while (6), endless digging comes along with undesirable results such as an infection and causing nosebleeds from rigorous rubbing by scratchy finger nails against sensitive nostrils:

  • Carry tissues with you at all times.
  • Don’t dig too deep or aggressively.

Also remember that ridding yourself of those external nose buggers will only get them transferred into your internal breathing passages which can cause increased itching and irritation.

Daydreaming In Class Is A Part Of Human Nature

One undeniable fact about classroom day-dreaming is how much we do it! Even adult learners find themselves getting off-task during lectures wondering what series to binge-watch afterward rather than perfectly understanding concepts being taught(7).

While many teachers may discourage daydreaming as unproductive behavior during class-time, others agree that it can actually increase creativity and help develop ideas through reflection whilst strengthening imagination skills (8):

So don’t blame yourself next time teacher catches you relishing nonacademic thoughts instead of solving equations.

Yawning Is More Than Just Catching Sleep

Yawning is yet another unavoidable action none of us seem particularly fond of. And It always seems contagious even infective making everyone yawn consecutively within seconds like dominoes falling over one other When someone else starts! But have you ever stopped to think why?

Well for starters, yawning helps increase oxygen flow to the brain combatting lethargy and drowsiness by increasing heart rate thus stimulates both your body and cerebrum cells while pumping blood sufficiently(9).

While yawning doesn’t necessarily mean you’re bored or sleepy, it most commonly associated with fatigue not dullness which isn’t always that bad! So next time you are caught in a corona-conference call find yourself feeling sluggish? let it all out!

  • Inhale good air deep into your lungs.
  • Cover mouth/nose area often unearthing uncontrollably yawn syndrome.

Laughing At Inappropriate Times Is Not Always Bad

A circumstance presents itself watching something humorous on youtube: a fujiwara effect (such as putting an irrelevant name to an actual thing/action). It’s amusing,but then someone ‘flattens’ onto hard concrete ground resulting in some injuries but now adding humor when The atmosphere becomes serious situation(culprit obviously took advantage of two opposing feelings running parallel)the same smiling seemed will be interpreted differently simply from timing (10).

Ultimately,Laughing at inappropriate times is human behaviour. Whether caused by nervousness or just finding something funny at the wrong moment!, laughter should never really have limits unless its tone offends someone(makes them feel very sad,mad,disappointed,etc)(11)

Conclusion

We may hate them; we might love them but ultimately these habits are just part of being human, shedding light about ourselves through our small absurdist moments whilst making space for commonalities amongst us. Now that we’ve shed light on unavoidable actions, maybe what’s left is how perpetually human they make us in reflection.
