I sigh loudly. Not vocally, but I take in a deep breath and then release it quickly. It's a tension release to me kinda like yawning but everyone around me seems to think I'm upset or frustrated when I do it.

Ever since we were graced with COVID-19, I frequently find myself taking deep breaths and exhaling as you described just to see if my lung function feels right. Realizing now that I don't even need to be infected with COVID-19 for it to have a significant impact on my mental health.

I sigh normally for the same reason, and people react similarly.

I do the exact same thing. Back in highschool people used to point it out or look at me weird or assume I was upset. My boyfriend asks me "What's wrong?" and I respond with "Uhh...nothing?"

I've done it for as long as I can remember and it feels like it relaxes my nerves.

Me too!

I hate it!
