When your work desk displays a collection of part chewed pens, which you do not chew cuz you have got a new one to gnaw on, but which you keep just in case you run out of the chewing material…and you are not even ashamed of it anymore…:(
some people just kind of dangle their pen in their mouth or suck on it, but i literally gnaw my pens. I get palpable pleasure from chewing my pens, especially when i’m nervous. People tell me just to chew gum, but its not the same. Sometimes i’ll actually remove the ink part of the pen, and just chew on the plastic tube, to avoid incidents like the one naranji described.
I want to stop chewing, because it gets so gross when your pen gets full of saliva, and sometimes my jaw gets a little sore too… It’s probably bad for your teeth too…
You find yourself chewing up a pen someone lent to you, that they have already sucked….
Ok....
Get some anxiety medication....get a night plate so you don't grind your teeth as you now have only one set left....and go to counseling to find out why you are doing this...
OR
Sit on an island and drink coconut juice...catch fish and let all your stresses wash away...as you sit and watch the sun go down on another day...
Fact , there is a black market for pens where I work!!!! These filthy apprentice's of mine actually have been busted stealing mine and blaiming others .
Ahh if I could only catch em with taking my tools [}:)][}:)][}:)]
As for chewing , naa I save that for smoko

I used to play a game with freight & postage guys...sign for items, then try to stick their pens in my pocket without them noticing. After a while they cottoned on to it, and used to ask me for a pen to sign it, and do the same. Turned out to give us all a laugh especially when you get sprung - apologise, and hand it back.
Mate's stubby holders the same, my stock go from about 5 to 50 over the year, then after a few do's at my place, numbers drop & you have to be inventive to get them back...only rules are that you can't just steal it, it has to be on a beer & in your hand in plain sight when you leave your mate's place.
Blue PIC pen lids, when I was at school I would go through 1-2 a day, then the dentist said WTF are you chewing on! I told him then the braces came 
Breathing exercises might help you relax,
but then PR is could be right too.
Try this:
Breathe in slow and deep, 1 breasts 2 breasts 3 breasts 4 breasts 5 breasts 6 breasts
Breathe out sloow and long 1 breasts 2 breasts 3 breasts 4 breasts 5 breasts 6 breasts
now isnt that better?
