    Do you have any bad habits, and what are they?

    Mine is the incredibly common yet still oh-so annoying biting of the fingernails. D: I've been biting my nails since I was little, and it's gotten to the point where sometimes I do it subcionsiously. D: I'm still trying to break it, and it's going alright so far.

    So what are your bad habits, and are you trying to break them?
     
    I know of a really bad habit of mine which I constantly used to do. Due to straightening my hair, my hair had got some split ends, and I used to always look for them and like pick them off... or something ><; I couldn't help it. But now, if I see any, I just use scissors to take them off because my Dad used to complain about me doing it all the time and told me to stop it. So I did, and I don't bother as much as I used to. I have less now cuz lots have been cut off.
     
    I bite my nails when I'm nervous or mad. I just to smoke to calm myself down... but I don't do that anymore. Too nasty. Hm... there are other things I do.. I just can't think of anything right now. XD
     
    I bite the nails of both my fingers and toes. Call it disgusting if you wish but I don't personally deem it a bad habit. I hate the feeling of cutting them so it's just my way of keeping them short.
    Another one would be drinking, not alcohol, I just have a habit of always wanting a drink of some kind. This usually being milk, I could drop a small anvil on my foot and it probably wouldn't break. xD

    In all I don't see what's supposed to be frustrating about habits, but I think that's just me not considering them negative ones.

    I used to smoke, but that stopped a while ago, so I don't really consider that much of a "habit" anymore.

    However, I do fall fall victim to biting my nails when I'm nervous =/
     
    I stay up until five in the morning nowadays so I can post on various forums I frequent. It's a terrible habit because I end up feeling really tired the next day and I normally wake up with a headache and a pain in my stomach. I've tried to stop staying up so late and I think I might succeed and only stay awake until three in the morning when school starts again. Then again, it's a habit and we all know that habits are hard to break.

    I also bite my fingernails. I know it's disgusting, I just can't help it. Apparently, I share something in common with Saryka because I often find myself biting my nails without noticing. Unfortunately, I keep failing when I attempt to stop biting my nails for good and I don't think I'll ever be able to end the habit. I'll keep trying though, because giving up on anything is stupid.
     
    Biting of the nails in public situations, which has created negative topics of discussion more than once.
     
    I'm not sure this is a bad habit from me. But I use to pick my nose many times when I was little and sometimes eat it, which was disgusting DX But now I don't pick my nose much or eat it either :D I don't bite my finger nails much at any age in my life.
     
    I never used to bite my nails until this past year. I have no idea why I picked it up or what made me start, but I do it when I'm deep in thought.

    Another big one for me is fidgeting with my hair or shirt. I'll flip my hair, pull on it, smooth it, etcetc when I'm nervous. Same thing with my shirt, I'll pull on it and make sure there's no wrinkles and whatnot. Other than that, I don't have very many "bad" habbits.
     
    My most serious one is biting my fingernails until I bleed, it's totally impulsive and I never notice when I'm biting them. Another habit is talking to myself, which I'm also very comfortable with doing. And pushing my glasses back up even when they don't need to be moved. I used to have some scab or something on the back of my head and, even though it's gone, I still scratch back there.
     
    biting my nails(fingers, not toes).
    its not a horrible bad habit, but a lot of people stare at me for it.
    I'm currently not trying to break it, because i'd rather bite my finger nails then go near that evil clipper.
     
    I copy things that people frequently say. Like my friend Angela. It gets on my nerves, so I know it must get on theirs XD So I'm trying to stop.
     
    err, Bad habits you say? Oh, I've got a couple, the most prevalent of all is procrastination (I'm a pro at that) other than that I think the only other bad habit I've got is watching too much tv/movies/internet-streaming video.
