I just can't stop biting my finger nails. It is a habit I had since I was a kid. Even though I'm a male, and males normally don't worry about their nails, this is a habit I can't stop doing. I tried, I let them grow long, and then I start chewing them off.

Biting my nails is a habit I've had since I was little, because my anxiety is so bad. I bite them so far down that sometimes they get infected. That's why for the past year or so I've had to settle with getting them done with acrylic. They look nice, but don't try and bite the acrylic. My mistake :barf:

Caffeine... I'm literally addicted to it. I drink 6-7 cups of coffee a day, plus a few cans of Diet Coke. I REALLY need to cut down, but if I don't get my caffeine intake, I get horrible headaches.

I play with my earrings all the time, and run my fingers through my hair. It's not really a bad habit, I just find myself doing it all the time.

Everybody does that, be it on purpose or accident.

As for me, I suppose the cracking of the knuckles is my #1 habit, though I don't do it all that much.

That's not really a "habit", it's just a natural thing everyone does.....I do it alot too :(

Last night I did it a few times at my cousins house.....everyone was saying how much it smelled but I wouldn't admit it was me.

I wasn't trying to embarrass you, I was saving you the embarrassment. I know I wouldn't have said I farted. Everyone does it, but that is something you keep to yourself, especially on this board.

Playing with my hair! :p

I have such a bad habit with twiddling and playing with my split ends so badly, especially when I am anxious or nervous. I often have to put my hair up on a ponytail, etc, in order to not muss it up.

I don't chew my nails, but I chew the skin around them off. Basically, the skin around my fingernails is all scar tissue because I've done it for so long.


I also chew the skin off my lips.

Ouch
That sounds like it would hurt.

I tend to chew my nails sometimes. I don't even know when I'm doing it half of the time.

I gave up all of my major bad habits like smoking and sweets. Now the only bad habit I have is swearing.
