Pet peeves about yourself?

Do you have any habit or pet peeve about yourself that drives you nuts but at the same time it's like you are compelled by some force to keep on doing what you're doing. Hope that makes some sense, lol. My habit that drives both my husband and myself nuts is the fact that I constantly pick any scab, zit, scratch, etc. that I can find on both of us. I try and control this urge but I usually end up losing and start picking away. How about you guys?

I am a compulsive eater. I contantly much on something. I had weight loss surgery 4 years ago and have lost around 200 lbs. I have gained about 20 of that back. I am not too concerned about that because it is still good. But I cannot seem to quit munching on something.I don't eat alot, but it is enough to annoy me. It is usually something salty. I know right from wrong, I am not hungry so it has to be something that is psycological. I'll figue it out, but it is a pet peeve about myself.

Good luck on figuring out what triggers it for you. I know that when I'm bored I'll start eating whether or not I'm hungry. So that triggers it for me.

Mine is with my family, I'm so bad at saying something without thinking. I'm not meaning it to hurt them but trying to help them. But, I blurt out things without thinking, so I'm trying to be nicer to my husband and kids.

True, you're just offering some constructive criticism. LOL it'll be fine.

My nail biting is a vile, disgusting habit but when I see one of my fingernails getting to a good length, I can't seem to help myself and I end up gnawing away at it. I was also going to talk in great length about my procrastinating but I'll do it later.

I know exactly where you are coming from. I think that I have so many peeves about myself but I think the picking is the top one. I think we need a cure for this, lol.

I can be very bad tempered when somebody annoys me. I say all kinds of dreadful things I don't mean. Although I regret it later at the time I feel I have no control over what comes out of my mouth.

Aww, sorry to hear about that but I bet it feels good at the time you do it. I wonder what makes us lose control over what we do at some points? Hmmmm....
