Nasty Habits

[Laurel]

I am a nail biter. I've been a nail biter all my life. Right now, I'm trying for the nth time to stop, but I've already chewed through three of my longest nails. It's a disgusting awful habit, but I just can't seem to stop.

What's your nasty habit?

I scratch the tip of my nose whenever I get nervous. Its not a big deal, I only scratch the outside, but apparently it looks like I'm picking because I get all manner of accusatory glances when I'm in public.

Oh God Laural I am trying to stop biting my nails too. I thought if I had tips put on and let them grow underneath that would work. It didn't. They were so weak when the tips came off it was too much to resist biting and picking them. But, then I tried just getting a manicuire on my regular nails. Ok the kinda laughed at me at the salon b/c they were so chewed up, but it has been 3 weeks and I have not bit them! They are starting to look good!

Ok and I must also admit to my other nasty habit. Please don't ask why but I also cut my toe nails wayyyyyyyyy to short. I don't bit them but I pick and cut them until they bleed! I don't even have nails on my little toes! I just feel them growing and begin to pick. I know it is gross. I have also had a pedicure to try to stop this habit, it is hard but they are sorta starting to grow.

can I interject here a moment and say that I've never understood the nail biting thing?

I've never bitten my nails. I have a habit of biting the skin around my nails rather than the nails themselves. Now that I reflect on that, they both seem equally horrid.

I chew gum. Not often in public and never with my mouth open, but at home when I'm alone, I like to snap my gum and blow bubbles

Instead of buying Kleenex, I use rolls of Charmin Ultra as my tissue, so there's a roll of toilet paper sitting on my desk right now. Some people think that's gross (my mom included). It's not like it's used.

I giggle a lot when I'm nervous, but I'm trying to stop that.

I'm aloof and I crack my knuckles, shoulder and wrist all the time. My fingers mostly when I'm nervous.

I do that too. My cuticles are a nasty mess. I have no idea why I bite my nails. It's gross, disgusting, vile, and oddly pleasurable.

 

[OpposingBalance]

Yep, smoking.
I crack my knuckles too. Fingers at each joint, neck back, elbows and knees.
Oh yeah, feet too.

 

[glamorilla]

I tend to beat up guys I like.

It's a defense mechanism.

 

[Private Vasquez]

Also, I touch my lips a lot, for no apparent reason. It's odd.

 

[It'sasecret]

I also do the cuticles thing. I have been doing pretty good at stopping the nail biting but I still pick at my cuticles! Oh and I also am a knuckle cracker. Geeeez I am full of bad habits.

well, um... damn. I have no response to this other than to say that I'd bite your nails too Laurel baby. ;-)

Is that a slip of tongue? Surely you mean "beat off guys I like" right?

 

[Private Vasquez]

You know what else? I've been known to run on CP Time in certain situations. It's not my fault.

I do that too. It doesn't feel defensive.

I don't bite my nails. I have had acrylic on them for over 5 years, and I haven't even broken a nail in 3. And that was because I slammed a finger in the car door.

I do crack my fingers a lot. And my neck. Other parts crack involuntarily, so I don't consider that a habit.

I also smoke, and that habit I'd like to get rid of. Cracking I don't consider a bad habit, it feels good to relieve the pressure in my joints.

I am a nail biter. . . .

Fingers or toes? Or both?
