Thread: Tell me about your addiction/bad habit

Excessive Daydreaming (really excessive) is kinda an addiction. But it doesnt interfere with my social life, just when I am home.

Biting my lips to the point of bleeding I do sometimes.

Cracking my fingers sometimes.

Peeling my nails (sometimes too much and it starts bleeding)

Peeling the skin around my nails (sometimes to the point of bleeding)

Extreme Procrastination

Using sarcasm by accident on sensitive people and accedently offending them.

I have at least 5 more I havent thought of yet >_>

Does being self-absorbed count as one?

And I have a very bad tendency of raging my issues to people now. I've been digging out issues that happened in my childhood with my mum, repeating it more than once.

OCD tendencies are bad. I have them too and I'm trying to cut them down. Now it mostly consists of the urge to blast the music and such...

You guys are messed up lol.
I can't really think of any now.... When I was a kid I used to avoid stepping on cracks while walking and only step on certain colored tiles in places like grocery stores. Also some other weird stuff I'm not going to share. Some of them not addiction but just weird stuff. Like sort of forming emotional bonds with objects and giving them life with my imagination.
Also when i was a kid I would often over eat when given the opportunity. I would often eat to the point of feeling sick.

Cracking my fingers, when it started I thought "Hey this is fun", but now it is just a bad habit. I also chew my fingernails, but not as much as I used to.

I stare at my totem and rub it too much. And i also crack my knuckles too much too. Dreamviews is also becoming my new drug, i can not get off. As it is SUPER ADDICTING! . 3:34 and im still up. I have got to hang it up. Seriously.

Totem is most likely a sacred item.

My thoughts exactly.

moSH, I can pop my chest too! But only if I'm highly anxious. Any other time, I don't feel the need.

I've never understood the need for bodily symmetry. I'm not even overly picky about things on my desk. But thing on the wall HAVE to make sense and by symmetrical or it drives me batty.

Just like what MoSh and Dianeva said, I have to do that. I always have to feel "equal".
This usually leads to my friends poking/hitting me so i have to sit there for 10 minutes doing shit to feel balanced again >_>

And I always have to organize things so they're perfect...with my phone it takes like an hour for me to have all the apps go in the right place, certain types of apps on a certain page, etc.

Nice! I've never met anyone else that could do it before. What do you mean about feeling anxious though? Mine's a physical thing, and I can only do it if I've been slouched for a while. If I don't pop it, it will just feel weird until I do.

Haha yeah that happened to me when people found out about it in my psychology class. They'd come up behind me and tap me on my right shoulder, though I could usually hold of the urge until they weren't looking to make them disappointed

I crack my knuckles, wrist, big toe, neck, and back so much that I'll have substantial soft tossue damage before age 30.

I'm also addicted to coffee and soda, which probably explains why I'm so short.

I also organize my iPhone apps by color.

There's a difference between addiction, bad habits, and compulsive behavior.

Organizing items in a certain way is neither a bad habit, nor an addiction.

I wash forks/spoons in pairs, and I seem to find it difficult not to. I eat M&Ms in pairs also. Just something I have to do.


Knuckle-cracking...now that's a bad habit.

It gives you smaller breasts.

Is that why mine are so small

When I eat M&M's I grap a hand full and eat all the double colours so I'am left with only different colors

Awww.

I find myself having trouble re-adjusting folders on my laptop too. In the end I tell myself, once I get used to it they wouldn't look weird any more.

It's a compulsive behaviour. *Sigh*

I don't even know what's an addiction any more. Oh wait. Pottermore?

Let's just say this thread is about compulsion too.

And ugh I'm self conscious about my boobs so i should start cracking my nuckles more xD
okay i kid sorta


also, Carrot, I just signed up for pottermore last night and got the emails within 10 minutes xD omg i did the sorting hat and got Ravenclaw which i was so happy about!

Omg your email is fast. Mine took a day! I'm in Ravenclaw too. I was getting bored being there all alone, add me? WolfBronze27247

LOL ! No. It is a personal item of mine that i tend to reality check with thruout most of the day.

When i eat something like gummycandy or chocolate, chips, ect. i feel forced to eat them in 1-2-3 order. At first i eat one, then eat two at once, then eat three at once... I know it's stupid

When i was younger i also had the urge to never step on the lines on sidewalks, which sometimes caused funny movement on my part... Or when i accidently swept one of my shoes on the street while walking, i felt i like have to sweep the other one as well, but the exact same amount... Then when i accidently swept that one more, i had to do it again with the other one to balance it... annoying O.O
It's really stupid, but i'm mostly grown out of these gladly

I don't know what other bad habit i have hmm.. Maybe i eat too much, but i don't worry much because i don't really gain weight. I'm 60kg with 164cms right now... I'm usually between 55-60kg. People always tell me that i should get up some extra weight, because i'm so thin..

You know why they call it a Royale with cheese?


Because of the metric system.

Metric system rules

It's a line from the movie Pulp Fiction.

That was quite a common one with my friends when we're were younger, but for some reason I tend to do the opposite. This then leads to my symmetry thing, where I have to step on a same-sized crack with each foot an equal number of times, at the same place on each foot, to make myself feel balanced.
