Bad habits
 
Do you do anything that is widely considered to be a bad habit for some reason or another? If not, do you know anyone who does? This can be anything from smoking cigarettes to consumption of alcohol on a daily basis. What is your stance on said habits? Have you tried to cut them out, or do you not really care what people think and continue to do them anyway?

It's FAR more than a bad habit, but I used to have Trichotillomania so bad that it heavily impacted my life. Even now I still find myself pulling at my hair when I'm anxious. :( That's probably my worst habit, but I also drink too much soda, and pick at my nails.

I used to have a problem biting my nails, but then I had to have all my teeth pulled (don't ask). I guess that ended that one. A current habit of mine would probably be that I love sweets and junk food way too much. :c I also happen to be a coke addict. I drink a lot of coke... well not that much but it's still an addiction for me. XD

Eh, I wouldn't say this is a bad habit but it is. I crack a beer open every or other night. Yeah, I know it's not healthy but I thoroughly enjoy my beer lol

hold a gun to my head and i still won't wear my retainer the prescribed hours

I swear evry time , I always pick my nose, I always eat someone else stuff, I do these bad habits when no one sees me.

I vape. I know it's safer than cigarettes - and it could be totally harmless - but I do it anyway, irrespective of the potential dangers. I also procrastinate BADLY.

I witnessed a vape explode. Just be careful with those.

How prevalent is that, though?

I quit wearing mine because it felt so nasty

Anyways, I used to have a bad habit of drinking way too many soft drinks. I'd consume at least 2 a day and it left me feeling very sick and unhealthy after a while. I started substituting one of those a day for a glass of water or milk and eventually stopped drinking them for the most part. Now I feel so much better that I have kicked that habit. I still drink some from time to time but not enough to hurt me.

I have a bad habit of spending money despite not earning any at the moment :D

No really, I need to learn to save.

starseed galaxy auticorn March 14th, 2016 9:00 AM

We also seem to have this problem too. We spend money a week after we get it. It really sucks because it makes it hard in the long run because we go broke. We also run out of food, and that makes it even worse. ;o;

I sometimes get stuck on this strange place on the internet, it's got a pokémon banner but I mostly end up talking about crushes and the weather, I don't really know how to stop it either because it just makes me feel so good!

My friend found her retainer that she wore for I think 1 month. It was disgusting.


I click my knuckles, neck, back, hips and ankles a lot. I love the feeling, even when I think about it I have to do it *does it now*

You really should, I wish I had :c Now my teeth have started living a life of their own again, despite me having paid money to force them to become part of mine.

at the same time 8 years of braces has left me soooooo dulled by it all
they've been off for a few years with little real movement so I think I got lucky for the meanwhile

Christos March 14th, 2016 11:43 AM

I waste all the time I should be using for studying and schoolwork on pokémon forums

That's not as unhealthy as you'd think. Every other night would actually do more good than harm. Now, if you drank a 12 pack or even a 6 pack a day or every 2 days that would be different. So, drink up man! There's nothing better than a beer after a hard day to relax.. Or weed, if you can smoke haha.

I have a spending problem. As soon as I get paid I tend to buy random pointless shit even tho I have bills. I seriously need to start saving my money. I got a savings account and don't even use it...

This is literally me. I stopped wearing mine because I couldn't sleep at night with them on and I didn't want to wear them during the day because they're rank. My front teeth on the bottom are a little bit wonky, but apart from than my teeth are fine. They've even stayed in place around where I had one removed at the back.

As for other bad habits, I bite my lips and the skin around my nails a lot. Loose skin annoys me. I also probably eat too much pizza (but it doesn't really help when I work at a pizza place, now does it?)

I vape, though I'm currently steadily reducing the concentration of nicotine, I'm at the lowest available concentration right now (3 mg/ml). I seriously consider eventually going down to 0 mg/ml, and then stopping vaping entirely before I turn 30.

The exploding ecig thing, I've never seen this happen, even though most of the smokers I know have switched to vaping years ago. From what I hear, most explosions are due to people who tinker with their ecigs, particularly batteries and resistors, or use incompatible parts or shoddy chargers. That's why I don't try anything fancy, I buy all my parts at the same shop.

I also enjoy wine and beer a bit too much.

Arylett Charnoa March 14th, 2016 2:56 PM

I don't brush my teeth or floss nearly enough... it's something I need to get back into. And yes, I consider a lack of a good habit a bad habit.

Other than that, I have a tendency to pull dry flakes off of my lips and make them bleed constantly. I'm not a huge fan of lip balm either (it feels unpleasantly slimy), so... my lips are pretty bad nowadays. I should put on more lip balm.

Ozymandias March 14th, 2016 6:27 PM

I smoke cigarettes and occasionally will do some dip. I don't think i'm addicted as I can make myself go without one for a while, but as someone who runs long distance I can definitely see the effects that smoking has had in my running performance.

Sothis March 14th, 2016 8:19 PM

I pick my skin, there's a name for it but I can't spell it lol, it's part of my anxiety 'u'

Hikamaru March 15th, 2016 4:37 AM

I tend to have an issue with remembering the time, and this can sometimes cause disastrous results.

I do the exact same thing, minus the hips part. I click my wrists instead. It feels super satisfying, but I've seen that people online find it annoying. Nobody has ever told me off for it before, so... :P I also don't really brush my teeth often. I wear braces, so good oral hygiene is kinda super important. This has caused my dentist to reprimand me for it. whoops

I have several nervous habits. I will spend an ample amount of time thinking whilst pulling out the ends of my hair (usually where I see that it is split) or any hair on my body, even (i.e. wrist, eyelashes, eyebrows, etc.) and I'll just...waste time like this. I will literally sit there doing nothing but think and pull on the ends of my hair. There is also something satisfying to me when I pull the hair from the root. Also, if someone is talking to me and I feel a bit of anxiety or the need to concentrate on their words or gather feelings from what is being said vicariously, I will start tugging on my hair or the skin around my nails.

When I'm taking tests or genuinely doing something progressive, I chew around my fingers or my nails. Even typing this out, I've caught myself doing this. Lately any time I am working on something and in focus, I tend to do this, without being solely nervous about it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
