you sound like me a year ago :)

the only difference now is that i quit smoking last january, and i don't drink much caffiene anymore..

i also pick/bite my cuticles/the skin around my nails..its awful..

I do that too! I'll stop someone in mid sentence and just talking about whatever I want to. It's so rude but I still do it.

*I interrupt people
*If someone bores me, I'll redirect my attention elsewhere
*I pick at nails
*I fall asleep durning boring classes, meetings, and church services.
*I occasionally burp out loud
*I sometimes have a mouth of a sailor man
*Procastination
*I'm extremely impulsive

*tear at my nails
*cut off people mid sentence
*swear too much
*I have to talk to people constantly to stay at the center of attention
*when I wrestle around, I bite..
*pinching
*I either look people into the eyes for a long period of time while talking to them or never make eye contact and look everywhere else
*....and procrastinate

Can it be possible to be perfect?

If not...I'm pretty close.

I bite my nails/cuticles

I talk too much sometimes and I interrupt people a lot

I am soooooo forgetful too, it sucks! :(

And I am also a HUGE procrastinator

Well, I was going to write in right away and say I procrastinate A LOT.

But I decided to wait until later...

I bite my nails if I don't have acrylics on.

I play with my ear (I know, sounds weird. It has to be cold, though, and if my own aren't then I try to reach out and grab hubby's ear, which he HATES. It is a carryover comfort mechanism from childhood that I cannot get over, mainly because my mom always indulged me and let me do it to her.)

I chew on the inside of my lips and cheeks. I am going to give myself mouth cancer. Although I see a lot of other people doing this, so maybe not.

I have developed a habit that annoys the piss out of Brent. I take my fingers and push my lip up when I am deep in thought or watching TV and zoning out.......makes me look like I have no upper lip.

I grit my teeth

I sound really gross and annoying, don't I!!!!!!!!!

My bad habit is...
 

My bad habit is bitting my finger nails and it gets really bad during finals week.

nail biters
 

We need to get together and find a way to stop our bad habit. I tried about 6 years ago to stop biting my nails and only was able to half stop biting the nails, and start biting my cuticles. I run around with bandaids on my fingertips all the time.
I've started painting my nails constantly to make me stop. I mean, if they look nice, why try and mess with them?

-I also have a tendancy to talk waaaaay too much, and cut people off. I've been trying to talk less and listen more. Sometimes I will begin to cut someone off, and have to stop myself and apologize.

Rubber Soul- OMG! I used to play with ears too. My mom made me stop in preschool (at the tender age of 4) because I would annoy all the other children during storytime by sitting next to them, sucking my thumb and pulling at their ears. lol! So, I totally understand, earlobes are really soft! (ok, that makes me sound like a wierdo, but hey, it's true.)

Okay, I'm bumping up this thread because I seriously need help. I have to stop biting my nails and I need as many tips (no pun intended) as possible. Here's the deal: I can usually freak myself out easily by telling myself I am going to get sick my putting my fingers in my mouth. This usually lasts for a few months and then I bite a nail off and it's all downhill from there. I can't have fake nails put on because the chemicals I deal with at work will melt them off. Has anyone gotten over their habit of biting their nails? It's been a habit for almost 23 years.


Please help me.


Hi, my name is Jadey.
I bite my nails.....
constantly. :(

Let's see...
I always bite my nails
I'm addcited to cleaning my ears with a Q-tip...lol
My room is super messy but everything else in my life is super organized and if its not i will redo it until i get it right even if it takes me 20 times...

Maybe you could get or give yourself manicures regularly. Your nails will look so pretty that you will not want to bite them. Additionally, I have heard that they make something that you can put on your nails that makes them taste really bad. I don't know the name of it.

I smoke :(
I only drink soda :(
I wax my eyebrows once a week :(
I have a cuticle obsession, I don't bite them but I cut them like everyother day :(
I have two volumes loud and louder (Like on My Big Fat Greek Wedding) :(
I always put my two cents into a conversation, just to play devils advocate and make people REALLY think :(
Oh and the worst, I'm honest I tell people the truth even if it hurts :(

i still sleep with the blanket my parents got for me when i was a baby. of course, i use it instead of pillows because pillows are just too big.

Jadey~ can you just paint your nails? i used to bite mine for years. i never wanted to bite them whedn they were painted and it tasted bad if i forgot. then you can always put bandaids on each fingertip. it's gross but it might work.
