I cant even bring myself to yawn.
I can understand your worry but troubling as it must seem, there is no need for anxiety.
Yawning is an extremely primitive reflex that we share with some other mammals. Its purpose is uncertain.
Certainly there is no way of learning how to yawn.
Although I appreciate this may be unhelpful advice, I would recommend positively trying not to be concerned about it.
Although this may be difficult, it is possible that your concern about this and possibly other worries are both making you feel as if you want to yawn and inhibiting the natural unconscious reflex at the same time.
By definition a reflex is something that does not require conscious effort or thought.
I hope this reply helps a little.
