Bad Habits

[Laurel]

I bite my nails. I've always bitten my nails. I can't stop. I try, I really do. I don't know why I do it, but it's soothing somehow. It satisfies something.

What's your bad habit?

I chew the skin off the inside of my cheek and I always chew my bottom lip.

I have that habit too. Thats why I get my nails done (acrilic) and you can't bite those! I've been doing it for 6yrs now, and if I have one break, I tend to start biting again..grrrr..drives me nuts.

My bad habit...smoking

my other is...heavy sex drive.....sucks to be me sometimes.

When I used to bite my nails I would get acrylics. I'd bite those too.

Is this thread going to turn into Nail Biters Annonymous..... If so, Hi, I'm morninggirl and I bite my nails.


If I manage to get them long enough for fingernail polish, I pick the polish off instead of biting. The acrylic seems to work for me too, but not during the summer. The chlorine in the pool and the acrylic don't go together very well.

It's difficult I find though. I did try to bite them the first month I had 'em...but found it to be expensive to have them fixed when they would snap in half or chip. Now I just bite some of the skin around them, but not to bad.

I too am a nail biter. But I don't do it because I'm nervous like everyone thinks, I do it, just cause it's something to do... LoL

Exactly!!! Every time I do it, people ask my why I'm nervous. Am I'm NOT! I'm just...I dunno..bored? thinking? Any number of things.

I bite them because they're there, damnit.

I do need to stop, though. My cuticles look like hell.

My friend told me to put bandaids on my fingertips to keep me from chewing my nails, and to allow them to grow out. So I chewed the bandaids instead...swear to god! Sounds nasty, but it's not a pretty habit. It's some oral problem. I'd probably smoke too if I wasn't allergic.

 

[Simply Me]

I chew the skin off the inside of my cheek and I always chew my bottom lip.

I do that too Angel and my Dentist gets on to me all the time, but most of the time I'm not even aware that I'm doing it. I also move my legs and feet constantly when I am sitting. Drives people around me crazy, they always put their hand on my legs and growl..STOP! Like thats gonna stop me, heh. Nervous energy I guess.. I quit biting my nails at the age of 16 when I went out on a date and the guy was running his fingers over mine and there was nothing there but my finger tip. Made me self-conscious and never bit them again..other than that I'm perfect

I have no bad habits. I'm perfectionistic. I mean perfect.

Dammit.

ARRRGHGHG.

Okay, so I correct everyone and don't give two flips when I'm wrong, unless someone corrects me. Then I get seriously hacked off. Why? Cause I'm perfectionistic. I mean perfect. Dammit. I correct everyone's spelling, grammar, and English. I have a friend at Wallyhell that won't speak to me because I keep badgering him out of eubonics. I wonder if he's still actually my friend. Maybe I should give him money.

Me too! I was doing it as I read that post. I think I am like naturally hyper so when I sit down for long periods of time I start doing that.

 

[Laurel]

I bite my bottom list when I'm in a tense situation. I also bite my nails when I don't keep them painted. I need to pain them more often.

You, Simply Me, AND Angel! A guy I know finds the bottom-lip-biting to be VERY sexy...

C'mon, DA list em! I also pick at my teeth when no one's around. I wasn't going to mention it, but if it'll get you to spill...I have straight teeth, but they're brittle. I stick the end of my nail along the edges and push or pull. It's part of the nail-biting thing, I guess. Damn oral fixations.

Any hair-twirlers here? And obsessive-compulsive counters? Midnight snackers? (I guilty of that one...)

LOL! Does that work? The money part, I mean...

I've been told my perfectionistic tendencies are a bad thing. I don't understand why everyone can't see how important striving for perfection can be.

Whenever I'm around a girl I like, I constantly run my hand through my hair and kind of like re-spike it. It's lame and stupid, but for some reason I do it. Don't know why.

<--- begins running his hand through his hair due to the presence of all the lit babes

 

[morninggirl5]

Laurel wants to know all our bad habits.

I'm a hair twirler, and if I'm really stressed, my hands are constantly running through the top of my hair.

I'm a world class procrastinator and pack rat.

And my worst habit according to my mother is sometimes I read the last four or five pages of a book first.

Me too! I was doing it as I read that post. I think I am like naturally hyper so when I sit down for long periods of time I start doing that.

Here is one of the tricks that will get you through a nice dinner, job interview, or church. Try it.

Put your finger tips against the other set of matching fingertips.
(Remember the spider doing push-ups on a mirror joke?)
Then in order, push your index fingers together, then middle's, then rings, then pinkies, then thumbs--start over. Make it a game to do it as fast as you can. Reverse the order each time you get to the pinkies and thumbs if you want.
This trick can save your ass.
You can also wiggle your toes in order inside your shoes--best in boots so you don't attract any wandering eyes to your wierd feet.
You can also contract your ass muscles while you are sitting down--ass, abs, ass, abs, left cheek, right cheek, abs. Don't do this while talking though or they will think you are really wierd.
See if these tricks help. My pastor is very ADHD and uses these tricks to make it through seminars. I use these also--i am unable to tolerate sitting still without doing these activities. There are others, but you have to be sitting in the last row of seats with no observers to do them. (Wiggling the ears, for example)

Oh yeah. MY bad habits? Uuummm.. I am a serious procrastinator. Yeah, that is me. My house is still not clean--my current goal is to have a sparkling kitchen, to make my bedroom beautiful, and to atack the pile of laundry that is taunting me as we speak. After that, everything else will be a piece of pie--can't have a filthy living room if the kitchen is spotless, now can we?

Yep, lip biting can be pretty sexy, at least I think so!

Let's see Laurel... I'm moody, I'm bitchy, I have a natural inclination to trust no one, I drive fast--often like a demon with the music cranked up, I tend to internalize and get lots of migraines... What else? Oh, I'm grumpy in the morning, I lack patience, did I mention I'm bitchy? I am a poor speller and I don't always use proper grammar... I'm gullible, smart ass, I lash out at people--sometimes when they don't deserve it... I'm telling you the list is ENDLESS! What a catch, eh?


I even discuss guys at work with my co-workers trying to figure out which ones are "missionary position" only guys... (is that a bad habit?)

Are you my long lost twin?

 

[PacificBlue]

*raising hand* Hi, I'm PacificBlue and I bite my lower lip.

(note to self: quit doing this during orgasm)
