What are your bad habits?

[nunu]

Mine is pulling my hair! I do it mostly when i am stressed out and i do it without thinking. It is really annoying because sometimes people ask me if i had a haircut when i didn't!

Sometimes i pull the hair right from the roots and sometimes i just snap it mid way . I wish i can stop but i've been doing it for almost 8 years now

So fess up girls, what are your bad habits?

I crack my knuckles, wrists, back, ankles- basically, anything that can crack on me. I don't even realize I do it sometimes. I used to bite my nails, but gave that up when I realized I can crack everything instead and still have nice nails.

1. Procrastination
2. Talking too loud (I can't be quiet.

)
3. Staying up really late even when I don't have to (also often caused by procrastination)
4. Snoozing up to the last minute possible (caused by my staying up late)

Yeah. I suck. D:

i have a friend who cracks his knuckles all the time!! I used to always cringe when he does it but i got used to it hehehe

And darkishstar who doesn't procrastinate (sp?)? LOL..i think it's my number 2 bad habit!

 

[darkishstar]

Ahaha, I think that's why most of us are on this site half of the time!!!!

I used to smoke and that to me was the ultimate bad habit. Pregnancy forced me to quit and I'm happy to say that I've been off cigs since then.

I've been pulling hair since I was 12 and now have a wide part because of it. It's more an anxiety thing for me and I've gotten better. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in this arena.

I had a 50p coin gap once! That's when i started pulling and snapping my hair from the ends but now because of that my hair is uneven and has many split ends. My new year resolution was to stop pulling my hair out but it's not working

Any tips??

I procrastinate and eat too late sometimes.

Me too!! It's so bad.

Especially when I'm bored and start doing it in math class without realizing it. I hope nobody has heard me.

Drinking coffee. Chewing my tongue... that one is really weird.... I always get lectured by the dentists.

i curse way too much.

i mean...WAY...too much.

 

[purrtykitty]

Other than spending waaaay too much on cosmetics in general...I bite the skin around my fingernails (often to the point of bleeding) - been doing that since I was 12. I also crack my knuckles and I'm really loud, too.

I'm a germophobe. Total time in the shower everyday can go past two hours (the water is not always on, but I'm in there with a body brush, scrubbing). I have piles of books everywhere . I like to shop for makeup too much. I smile all the time. I laugh when I am nervous. When I was in the Army it cost me millions of extra push ups. A drill seargent would put his face in my space and yell, and I would laugh. Not a little nervous laugh, a big, at -the-movie-funny laugh. (My Dad had the same laughing in the face of adversity problem)
...and after so many years of being in healthcare or science (pushing 3 decades) I examine people's ankles on busses for swelling, their legs for shininess or lack of hair (bad arterial circulation) look at scars, look for sites to put iv lines, etc.

 

[trollydolly]

this is going to sound gross but my bad habit is biting the skin on my lips. its so horrible but i do it without realising! i need to find a good lip exfoliater...lol

 

[redambition]

i bite the skin around my nails... this has started after i got myself to stop biting my actual nails.

i used to smoke but i have finally managed to knock that one on the head. i might have the occassional ciggie at a party, but it's usually just one then i back off because they taste and smell foul to me now.

I pull my hair as well. I have Trichotillomania (or Trich). Obsessive compulsive hair pulling.

I also pick at the skin on my fingers. Nasty nasty habit!

I do that too!

I grind my teeth constantly.
I drink a ton of Dr. Pepper-as if it is going to be discontinued tomorrow.
I buy stupid crap I don't need at Target all the time.
I talk so there aren't any uncomfortable silences. I cannot stand it if there is uncomfortable silence.
I eat based on emotion, therefore I eat all day. I eat whether I am happy, sad, bored, depressed or angry. i just love food!!
As you have probably concluded, I am very obsessive compulsive.
