Bad nervous habits?

[katiepool129]

I was just wondering if anyone else had bad nervous habits. Mines is chewing the inside of my mouth and cheeks when i am stressed out or nervous about something. It can be quite painful afterwards. I also am a hair twirler but thats mostly out of bordom.

I chew the inside of my cheeks too,but not whenI'm stressed, I tend to do it when I'm concentrating on something.

I chew the inside of my mouth, but I also grind my teeth in my sleep, so my bite needs realigning.

I don't think i do anything but my cheeks turn bright red, and hot to the touch when im excited, nervous, scared, and so forth

I chew on thi inside of my cheeks too. But I do it alot not just when I am stressed. I do it when I am concentrating also!!

I always chew on my bottom lip and peel the skin off with my teeth (gross I know!!). I've made my lip bleed doing it soooo many times.

I pop my knuckles and bounce my legs really fast. I also fidget with my piercings.

Eeww, popping knuckles is like nails down a chalk board for me! I bounce my legs though and pull on my bottom lip - not the best thing for an emet to do eh?!

I do everything thing that has been listed here so far[img]smileys/smilies_03.gif[/img]I am a very bad teeth grinder....it hurts so bad sometimes when i wake up in the morning!!!!!

I crack my wrists, knuckles, and elbows. I shake and bouce my legs. I chew gum. I pull at my hair(but I never pull it out). I rub my eyes. I also count things when I'm really upset. I'm a total nutcase when I'm stressed. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

hmmm i do some of those things. I play with my hair and put it up and
down in ponytails and weird styles a lot and i scratch myself untill I am
red. I will also wipe my glasses or stretch and crack my back and my
hands and tap my pencil if i am in class or fiddle with stuff in my bag.
The last thing is I go through an insane amount of altoids. My mom gets
cases of altoids from sams club every couple weeks for me! I am
having a really bad day today on the panic standpoint and I have gone
through about a full box of 'toids.

I chew stuff. Like, the inside of my cheek, pens, gum, or my thumb. I also dig my fingernails into the back of my neck (i also do this when im n*). I scratch the back of my left thumb with my pointer finger (now its so scarred up.. im using cocoa butter to smooth it out). I jiggle my legs and shift my position a lot.

[tcsarah]

Oh I forgot about that one - my legs get fidgety when I'm nervous and I jiggle them about a lot. I also grind my teeth at night and have even done a bit of damage to them [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

I bounce my legs around, A LOT! I start rocking and ringing my hands....I start thinking about the things that are hanging on the wall (sort of like a distracting thing)....If I feel n*, like really n* I just grab something and squeeze it as hard as I can, which actually isn't really on purpose that I squeeze it so hard....I can't think specifically right now what else though. I am pretty shy, so I get really nervous when I have to talk with someone and I start biting my lip.....

[breezie]

I don't know if it's bad..but I start moving around in my seat a whole lot...Esp if the person making me nervous is close

[yamyat]

i'vw been addicted to mint spray,altoids, most mint products...mainly the result of trying to get any bad taste out of my mouth.

I always end up picking thing. Like my nails, or Ill start scratching my neck or rubbing it, sometimes I pic at my lip gross Iknow) Then I have this weird habit when Im really nervous I put super glue on my finger and then peel it off when it dries. I know..im a weirdo!

[melissarene]

I pick on my nails and cuticles. It drives my boyfriend crazy.
