Yeah I just kind of look away and only cover if I see someone “caught” me. But also, in public, it’s a good test to see if people are staring at you if you openly yawn and other people go around yawning too. Stop looking at me if you didn’t wanna yawn.
I didn’t realize covering your mouth when yawning was a norm in general, like I don’t cover it at all.
Note: it’s not like I yawn directly at people or in peoples faces or anything, I just don’t cover my mouth.
People do it out of respect for others since yawning is contagious. We tend to hide our mouths so that others don’t yawn.
I do it because you look really stupid when you yawn, walking around mouth all wide. The hand hides all that.
I was not taught to cover my mouth but I married a mouth coverer. Am a convert now. But I don’t think I cover when I’m alone.
