Is it normal that popcorn kernels get stuck in my teeth frequently?

Is it normal that popcorn kernels get stuck in my teeth all the time and so I have to spit out the kernels and just eat the soft part of the popcorn? My family and friends have commented on this. Whenever I eat popcorn, I only eat the soft part. I don't even bite the part with kernels. This greatly reduces the amount of popcorn I even eat lol. I eat the soft part then throw in the rest of the popcorn in the bag. It's because every single time it gets stuck in my teeth easily. Between teeth, hurting my gums and stuff. How come this doesn't happen to others? Is it normal? PS I do not have big gaps between my teeth. They are very close to each other, like most people's teeth.
