Do you bite your nails? Do you bite your lips? Are you constantly late to any occasion? Do you drink too much? Do you smoke too much? Are you on the computer too much? Are you too greedy? Are you too jealous? Are you so afraid of failure that you don't try new things? Go ahead. Name all of your bad habits. Feel free to mention stories where these bad habits embarrassed you.

I guess sleeping too much could be a bad thing, but your body does need sleep.

I guess you could say that I am on the computer too much, but I justify that with the fact that I am on here to earn and hardly am I ever on here for another reason. I also can over react too much, I'm a little over emotional. I'm not sure if you would call those two things bad habits, but it is a habit of mine to get over emotional or over react when really I shouldn't.

Hmmm, well I smoke, which is a bad habit that I would love to quit but havn't yet been able to... also I do bite my nails, but not right down to the skin like I have seen others do ewww... I can be a very paranoid person, I drink far too much pepsi max, and not enough water.... um and I spend too much on grocery shopping, because I buy too many special offers lol...

I don't drink enough water either. I've seen people bite their nails that much too. You would think it would hurt a lot.

I have the bad habit of eating between meals, biting my lips, and being too impulsive and don't think enough before doing things

Not thinking before I do things is a really bad habit for me. It gets me in so much trouble. I hate it.

I never in all my years had a nail biting habit till this year. I was always know for the women with the lovely natural nails, well life has thrown me for a loop and I guess my nails have become victim of my circumstances.

I started doing that too. But only if they split or break first.

Thankfully I haven't bitten them off to where it hurts but it is a new found bad habit I started a couple months ago and I need to stop. It sort of embarrasing to be seen doing that. Although I think I have only done it mostly at home. Oh wait I have caught myself doing it in the car. Too funny,

I eat too much. I eat when I'm depressed. I eat when I'm nervous. I eat when I'm angry. I eat when I'm happy. I just love to eat, but now, I need to lose weight for the sake of my health.

That's a very common habit though, so don't feel that bad.

I have way too many to describe all at once. I smoke, I complain entirely too much. I worry about everything and then some. I love to much and cry to easily. I pick arguments with my beau when I feel that he is being unfair to the kids. I don't take enough time out to see things through before going through with them. I get lost easily because of something I was thinking about. I think that's the worst of them right now. If I think of more, I will post them.

Oh my. I do some of the same things. I don't smoke, but I do complain a lot--almost to the point where my boyfriend gets really annoyed with me. I worry a lot too. I pick arguments for no reason, mostly because I had a bad day or something.

stephanieann hi when I get stressed I will chew on a lock of myhair and sometimes my husband used to tease me by saying."does that taste good" and then I would stop chewing my hair for a few months. Now that I have been a widow for quite a while I find I am again chewing a lock of hair when I am in stress condition and it makes me so upset with myself too. 'My other bad habit is that sometimes I do things when someone wants me to give them my full attention and listen to what they are saying.

Smoking is the one i suppose is my bad habit because i know it effects my health a lot than anything else is.

I tend to chew my nails alot when I get bored, just to keep myself preoccupied. I also bte my lip bottom lip when I am trying to concentrate (or a pen if I am using one) otherwise I get sidetracked and random songs would pop into my head and I can't focus. I have also been caught quite a few times, pulling faces without realising. Thankfully in one of my classes, there is a girl that is worse than me so I don't get caught as much anymore. Is just really frustrating, getting in trouble for something you can't help. xD

I pick at my lips, especially when they're dry. It's kind of gross, but it's a nasty habit that I try to avoid doing in public. I think it's something I do when I'm nervous. I make strange faces sometimes too, especially when concentrating or trying to not to show anger.

i'm kind of people who is very comfortable to stay at home. Watching film, reading some books and go online. I think this is my bad habit because mostly it makes me fell so lazy to make any social relationship. Actually i'm too comfortable to stay home..... :)

My bad habits are I think I am impulsive. Whenever I go to the malls, I usually buy stuff that I get excited when I see them. But, when I go home, that's the time I realize that I don't really need them. So I end up piling all the things in my room. Second is, I pressure a lot of people. I expect them to be the same like me. For example, I always tell them not to be late for an event/work etc. If I am early then they should be early too. I expect too much. Third, I tend to be lazy and that laziness sometimes lasts for a week. During that laziness period, I don't clean my room, I delay deadlines at work and stay at home the whole day without doing anything... just like a bear hybernating. hahaha.

We aall have bad habits that we don't like to admit to. I would have to say that my two biggest bad habits are nail biting and hair twisting. i seem to do both of thesed in excess when i am nervous about something. I try my best to control these habits, but they can get the better of me sometimes.

Most of the time I'm late...the reasons are too much computer and too much thinking...As much as possible I wanted everything to go smoothly but the downside is that it drags me down...^_^ That I would like to change and learn to accept imperfections in many cases.
