Hey Pandas, What Is Your Worst Bad Habit? (Closed)

We all do things that aren't always good for us sometimes. Please note I'm not talking about drug habits...of course, you might want to break that. More along the lines of regular things you do that you wish you could stop or simply haven't yet. Maybe we can get some good advice in the comments.

I bite my nails and the skin around it and I have for years. I have had areas where I’ve stopped for a few months but then stress and anxiety come along and it’s right back to biting them again. I also tend to pop my joints a lot (ex: my knuckles, ankles, neck, and my knee although it hurts every time) I know I know I’m a dum dum

Apologising for nearly anything. Think I was Canadian in a past life.

I do this a lot at work, too. I think it's more to diffuse any bother I perceive I'm causing. I always say I'm sorry before asking a question. I always feel like I'm bothering people even though I know I'm not at all.

Mightn't the better question be, "what's the difference between a habit and an addiction?"

I'm addicted to smoking. It's horrible; dirty, disgusting, and with negative health consequences not only to myself, but to those around me.

I have a habit of scratching my butt in public. Drives my husband crazy!

It's more of a guilty pleasure, but watching YouTube on my phone before bed. I just like it, it has become a habit

I used to do this. But my parents busted me. (We were not aloud to have devices in our room at night.)

(I don't do it anymore, but you asked for my worst habit.)
When I first got exposed to Covid19 (didn't catch it, just exposed) I was quarantined. I loved the fact I was alone, but I was in my room, and had nothing to do. Because of this I started to rip out my own hair one by one. (Disgusting right?) I would then rip of the little beginning whitish clear part of the hair. (That attached to the scalp.)
This continued weeks after getting out of quarantine. I eventually noticed bald spots and became upset, so I took action determining I would stop, I did. I read how to stop bad habits like mine, I prayed, I would yell at myself whenever I would catch myself ripping at my hair. . I now have a healthy full head of hair again. So yay!

When I got married, I asked my husband to deal with the mail. He loves mail. Then I hired a friend to come once a month to help me deal with mail that he told me I had to deal with. I hate mail.

I did this too. I would eat and eat. When I was younger. (Growth spurts) eventually it became habit. (I now just eat sunflower seeds instead of eating a bunch of different foods.

I twist my skin when I am nervous, or I "flap" as my classmates call it. I have no idea what is happening but I uncontrollably fling my hands around and twitch my wrists when I am excited. It is really embarrassing and I just can't control when it happens.

Have you spoken about this with a doctor? It might be a treatable medical problem. If you literally can't control it, it's not a habit. Good luck!

Warning: this post may be disturbing to some.
I bite my fingers excessively.
By excessively I mean till they bleed.
And I will still bite them when my hands are covered in my own blood.
I CAN control it but if I'm not doing something with my hands I will most of the time.
I do the same thing with my feet.

Not with my hands but I do the same with my feet. I sort of peel pieces of skin from the bottom of one of my feet. The skin has calloused over the years so sometimes I use clippers to cut pieces that hurt too much to pull on. It's called dermotillomania and it's a sort of anxiety condition. I used to be waaay worse but my anxiety has waned over the years and I don't do it almost at all anymore but occasionally I'll find myself picking without really thinking about it. I don't bleed like I used to. It used to be bad sometimes where I could barely walk. I have cuts/scars that will never heal. I wish I'd never gotten into it because it becomes kind of addictive. It sounds so crazy but it's more common that you think.

Biting nails, saying completely random stuff. There are probably others.
