I'm addicted to coffee and nicotine. I get long periods of laziness in between short bursts of activity. And a new one I am currently trying to curb - picking at my scalp.

Staying up way too late. Revenge procrastination has been a huge problem for me, especially since the pandemic started. My sleep schedule has suffered, but I can't seem to let go of books, my phone, or my computer before bed.
I also have the tendency to shake my leg when I'm anxious. This drives my mom nuts, because shaking the floor makes her think an earthquake it coming.

I destroy my nails and fingers. My fingertips feel like stone and my nail beds are all messed up and the nails grow poorly because of it, and I have issues with nail infections very often. The issue is it is a really, REALLY hard habit to stop, mainly considering my underlying anxiety.

Tongue clicking. A lot.
Twisting my piercings. Especially fresh ones. And picking at the scabs of healing stick n pokes. Nail biting, picking, scratching, and running my fingers through my hair so much that some falls out
I can’t seem to stop picking at my skin. The more stressed I am the more I find myself picking. I tried wearing gloves for a while but the feeling of having them on for a while drove me up the wall.
this thread has shown me that We Are All Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors. 😔
add me to the skinpicking pile, as well. i've always been TERRIBLE about it, but i'm getting better...!

Everytime I try to break one habit another one pops up. I bite my nails. It got so bad that I had to wear a nailpolish but i'd just bite at that, too. I'll bite at the skin of my lower lip. I used to have this habit where i'd pluck strands of hair out of my head but then I got really paranoid about losing my hair. Eventually I developed a habit where i'd bite the skin around my nails, too.

Oh my biting my nails, Now keep them so short and check them daily for a trim. Then prob the amount of tea i drink at least 12 mugs on a low day, But i do love a cuppa
I’m recovering from anorexia Lost 200 pounds in 10 months, from 304 pounds to 94 pounds and now a somewhat healthy 115 though I’d love to be less, I don’t eat enough calories nor have the energy to exercise anymore to avoid eating outside of my allotted mealtimes I binge zero calorie drinks until I’m sick
it’s so hard sometimes
assuming any mistake made in my vicinity is somehow caused by me, no matter what kind of mental gymnastics i have to go through to validate that it's my fault in my head.
cracking my knuckles as well. i do it constantly.
I bite the skin from my thumbs, and pinch myself when im mad, or scratch my legs when im anxious. Also, a HUGE procrastinator
Embarrassing to admit but I have bad dental hygiene that stems from years of really bad depression. Now that I’m managing better, it’s been really hard to develop better habits (I’m brushing my teeth at night only). I think you just reminded me to keep trying.
Also, binge eating (really bad binges and no real nutrition). I’ve been having a few good months after finally being able to start incorporating healthier habits, but oh is it so hard. I’ve just discovered I probably have ADHD as well so it’s a lot and taking things one day at a time has seemed to be working.

This made me laugh! I don't mutter but people in my family do, so I understand your concern. I'm also bad about flossing.
