What are Your Bad Habits?

**AmyBoz** · 09-15-2006, 09:53 PM

Do you have any bad habits? Are you a nail biter? Cuticle picker? Smoker? Knuckle cracker? Or are you just perfect?

Much as I like to believe I am, I'm not perfect.

My bad habit is that I bite the inside of my mouth. I always have. I think that's part of why I'm always wanting to eat stuff, because I've got a mouth thing. It needs to be busy all the time. Also, probably why I love gum!

I also am a cuticle picker.

Both habits get worse when I am stressed and when it's about that time of the month.

So, what about you? Any bad habits?

I also bite the inside of my cheek and I am a nail biter.......I don't know I am even doing it until someone yells at me to stop!

I'm always cracking my knuckles and my toes too

I too bite my cheek and crack my knuckels.I used to bite my nails but at least I have stopped that lol

I drink too much soda (and the regular kind to boot). I usually have at least 1 and more often 2 per day.

I also bite my nails on occasion...mostly when I am really deep in thought about something.

I am currently on a coffee kick

I am up to about two pots a day right now. I go through different phases from coffee kicks, to quarter bingo, to excessive sleeping. I don't just have a single bad habit, I go from one "kick" to another - none of which are productive or positive.

I do spend too much time on the computer!! That would have to be my biggie!!

When I was younger I would

(now this is gross)

tear my pinky toenails off - completely gone. I quit doing this when I was diagnosed (2 1/2 years ago)with diabetes - you know that whole "proper foot care for diabetics" thing. It was a hard habit to break. I also use to smoke 2 packs a day from the time I was 16 till I was 30. I have not smoked since January 4, 2004. That was a toughy, too.

Amy, I also bight the inside of my mouth (especially when I'm worried) and I "pick" (not bite) my fingernails and cuticles so they never look very nice. Oh, and I eat too much chocolate, but I'm not sure that's really a bad thing.

Oh I have a few. I eat too much, drink too much soda, spend too much time on the internet, and twirl my hair. Sometimes I talk to much too! LOL.

I tend to grind my teeth when I'm upset and I also twist my hair when I'm stressed.

Mine is probably spending too much time on the internet when I should be cleaning house. Oh..I tend to want to munch on peanut M&M's while I'm on the computer.

I crack my knuckles and pick at my fingernails.

I think we should turn this around and say that people who dont do our bad habits are just weird and we are perfect,nail bitting,mouth chewing,knuckle cracking,coffee ,soda drinking wonderful women

**YankeeMom** · 09-16-2006, 09:07 AM

I think I talk too loud and interrupt people, although my friends & family assure me otherwise. I always go over conversations and think that I've dominated the convo some how.

Other than that, I twirl my hair...or at least I used to before I got it cut short

I didn't even realize or think of it when I got it cut until I came home & was reading and reached up to twirl and nothing was there. I don't really think of it as a bad habit though. More like a quirk

**tbs727** · 09-16-2006, 10:23 AM

I had no idea there were so many other mouth biters out there. I am one as well. Because my fingernails are so hard, it hurts my teeth to chew them, so instead I chew the skin on each side of my fingernail. I know, gross!

**starsapphire** · 09-16-2006, 10:31 AM

I spend too much time on the computer and I'm a cuticle picker. I used to be a nail biter but stopped in my early 20's. The cuticle thing started 10 years ago when I had a job as a cook, my cuticles got terribly dry from washing my hands so much. I can't seem to break the habit even though I have an office job now.
