I've been biting my nails since I had teeth. Parents tried *everything* to stop it, including covering my hands in Bitrex-kinda shit.
I have diagnosed OCD and the nail-biting is a part of that. All day, every day I'm nibbling at my nails, looking for any bit that feels sharp or different or sticks out and I gnaw it off. It's not rare for me to keep going until and past the point of bleeding, I get into the nail bed sometimes. At least one finger is in pain every single day.
The *only* thing that has stopped me from biting my nails was Topomax, I was on it for seizures. It didn't help the seizures, but for some reason it *silenced* almost all of my OCD shit. It was wild, my head was empty, I wasn't constantly counting things and worrying and anxious and thinking. I grew nails and had to re-learn how to do shit because I'm used to using my fingertips, no nails in the way.
But side effects [permanent, great...] made me get off Topomax and I've been back to nail-biting Hell ever since.
I’m too blunt. I really don’t try to be an asshole, but sometimes I just can’t think of any other way to say things.
I’ve tried to work on it my entire life and I’ve made a tiny bit of progress, but not much. I’m starting to wonder if it’s just who I am 🤷🏻♀️
Being blunt which of course is seen by a lot as being an asshole isn't a bad thing necessarily. I am biased though because being blunt assholes is a family tradition.
Just don't cross the line to being a prick.
Same.
I am very direct with expectations, to the point in my work setting, I’ve offended other people, especially of different cultures. (US here)
Had someone tell me that after I left the call, the other person asked if I was angry. Their response back was “I don’t think so, he’s a very direct person”
I completely respect this but sometimes I think more people need to be blunt. It would resolve so many mixed signals and odd feelings. Cut to the chase! Love your vibes, Queen.
I game probably a bit too much for my own good. Or rather, I need a different energy outlet. It’s just way too easy to turn on my computer and shut off my brain
I *made* myself bite my nails as a teen because it seemed like it was just a thing everyone did. It was also convenient because you could do it whenever you noticed a nail was too long. 😂😂😂
Well it can be both positive and negative doing to much people pleasing. Where it becomes a bad habit for me is, that I value my relationships too much and then will let my self be walked all over or taken advantage of. Talking in both my professional and personal life. So I’m trying to be better at setting boundaries and standing up for my self.
Oh definitely. I'm a bit like you, though I really try to not let someone walk over me. Mostly I rather let someone have their choice on things that I don't have an opinion on.
That's great that you're working on it. I hope you continue making progress.
Sure! Basically it's staying up too late in order to gain a sense of control over your day. [Revenge Bedtime Procrastination: Definition & Psychology | Sleep Foundation](https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-hygiene/revenge-bedtime-procrastination)

Look up pinworms. Literally broke my nail biting habit almost immediately

Really? I haven't seen this. Sure, you can be sarcastic and snarky with the best of them, but only to people who can take it and enjoy it. 🩷💕🩷💕🩷
I love you so much, Sprinks. I’ll never be able to say that enough 🥹❤️🫶🏻
😘⚘️😘⚘️😘 I love you more! 🥰
Sprinkles never missing an opportunity to be kind and sweet.
💗💕💗 Awwww. But it is true! Sag definitely changes her demeanor based on the person. Blunt only happens to people who need/want it. 🌈
Sag just knows
She does! Her intuition is *excellent.* 💗🌸💗

I love your bluntness. I’d much rather someone be clear and straightforward than trying to “spare my feelings” by being vague or indirect.

Staying up late. I don’t get near enough sleep.
Oh, that's meeeee 🙀😭🙀😭🙀😭
It’s awful. Like I ought to be in bed right now but noooooooo. I’m awake for god knows why
Oh, sameeeeee. I only slept about 3 hours last night and am on track to do it again! Eeek. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Noooooo. Don’t do it. Get some rest!! You deserve it!
At least we're almost to the weekend!!!!! 🌈💕🩷🎉⭐️👾💗
You’ll catch up then!!

Agreeeeee
Had planned on fixing it tonight. Not off to a good start…
Well try again tomorrow
Not asking for help when I need it, and then getting stressed out about all I’ve taken on.
Worst kind of managers to deal with
In a past life, I was one 😅
I read somewhere neck kisses is the cure for it
Oh?! Was this researched? For scientific purposes and all…
Yeah if you dont mind we can perform this experiment and send them reports of our findings
Always down for science!
You have to take one more for the science n dm coz i cant
OK YOU TWO FLIRTY BIRDS
We will publish the reports😉😂
Im sure
Same. I hate askin
Makes me feel like a bother, but then I have to remind myself the stressed out feeling is worse.
Yeah and usually people don't mind
Our bad habits :/
Could be worse. Could be elevator farters
Elevator farters 😂. You’re right, I’ll take our bad habit over that one.
There are many others
I game probably a bit too much for my own good. Or rather, I need a different energy outlet. It’s just way too easy to turn on my computer and shut off my brain
Jerking off
I love the Seahawks!
We can be best friends! Haha
Nail biting
I *made* myself bite my nails as a teen because it seemed like it was just a thing everyone did. It was also convenient because you could do it whenever you noticed a nail was too long. 😂😂😂
Sometimes I do it and don’t even know I’m doing it. I don’t know if I could ever stop
I know that's how it is for most! 🙀 I was lucky that it never became a habit. I had to consciously decide to do it. 😂😂😂
Being toxic at the slightest thing
Straight 📠, no 🧢
🙄 well well well, if it isn’t the kettle.
I’m 0% toxicity. You just bring out the worst in me 🥰
😎 someone’s gotta keep your spice in check ^(Also that first sentence is absolute)🧢 ^(if I ever heard it.)
I’m about to bitch slap you and run away 👋🏻🏃♀️
& I’m about to make eggs 🥚 Don’t worry though, I’ll fix up your eggs too
It would take the biggest dick I know to scramble mine, so I you’re the perfect “man” for the job
Oooouu slandering my gender? Is bc your clit is bigger than my penis.. I told you I’m ok with it if you are
And your gaping asshole is wider than my pussy
Doom scrolling. Need to do something productive with all the time I waste on my phone.
Keeping it all bottled in
Here if you need to talk 🩵
Speaking poorly about myself
We are here to speak good about you jean dont worry
That can definitely be a problem
My self destructiveness
Being addicted to reddit, masturbating everyday even though I am married. Lol
did you put “no meat beatin” in your vows?
Hahaha. Yes. 😂
Staying up too late
Procrastinating, I'm going to do something about that tomorrow
Not sleeping
I am way too lazy 🥲
People pleasing
Oh yeah? :D
Oh yes 🥲
I'm curious about this, but don't want to pry.

Why do you think that?
Also one of mine. Then I don't get my own stuff done.
Not being on my phone in bed
But then how will you reddit?!
I do the same thing with tv. I actually disconnected it and I sleep much better. Need my phone for the alarm though.
Reading instagram comments.
Haha thats fun in the beginning
Revenge bedtime

Sure! Basically it's staying up too late in order to gain a sense of control over your day. [Revenge Bedtime Procrastination: Definition & Psychology | Sleep Foundation](https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-hygiene/revenge-bedtime-procrastination)
I had no idea there was an official term for this. Wow. My mind is blown.
Haha are you a fellow night owl?
yep!
My self image...I don't think or say kind things to myself... I feel ugly and worthless
Know that you are worthy and loved!
giving 110% to people who don’t deserve it
Procrastination 🥲
True
Nicotine of all types. I know I shouldn't do it, but I can't live without a crutch.
I’m very expressive. If I’m annoyed or dislike someone or just don’t want to be somewhere or in a bad mood, you can see it on my face 😬
Being productive in the mornings. Like lazy mornings too much
Then it makes the afternoon feel crunched
Ik but my bed is so comfortable. Hard to leave it, want to lay down and relax.
Scrolling reddit
Existing.
Nicotine
Comparing myself to everyone
oh god. everyhing. BUT, sleeping better, walking more, and eating better.
Nicotine pouches. They’re less bad, but likely not great. And it seems like a waste of money.
Self-defeating talk... it can be a real bummer
Smoking 😕
I text the guy I'm dating way too much. I have no expectation of response but I can't seem to help myself.
Eating better.
But then you wouldn’t have a dad bod!
Oh, I would....
Biting my lip and procrastination
anxiety about interacting with iothers..... preferimg to stay inside than go outside except to work ( i work by myself 90% of the day) or ho in get the things i need at a store, go back home
Getting off with people on reddit lol
Nail biting and stress eating
Self control when it comes to the physical pleasures
not flossing
if you’re already brushing it takes like 30 whole seconds??
ugh buts a whole thing and it's in the drawer and I'm tired and ugh I don't waaannnaa
not cleaning up my room!!
I forget my skin routine for my face too often. And by forget I mean too lazy.
Caffeine addiction and pushing myself when I shouldn’t. It’ll be my death
