I have lots of bad habits
- I smoke
- I pick my nose
- I binge drink 2 or 3 times a month (definition of binge drinking is drink 5 or more alcoholic beverages in one day for the purpose of getting drunk)
- I do not bit my nails but I know many people have this one
- I procrastinate (I'm also just lazy and don't do much activity)
- Sometimes I do chew (chewing tobacco)
- I crack my ankles (you might crack knuckles this is what I do)
- Maybe you twirl your hair (I don't really)
- Maybe you gamble
- Or maybe you are a compulsive shopper
- I chew on things like my pens or when I wear a hoodie I chew on the strings or even the end of my sleeve. (I kind of wish to change this)
- I also am an emotional eater (this is the only bad habit I would want to change)
Other than the emotional eating I don't really wish to change my bad habits.
There are tons more bad habits out there which ones do you have? And do you wish to change them?

I have a couple bad habits that I wish I could change.
I constantly play with my hair. When I am writing or reading, I hold the pencil or book in my right hand and twirl my hair with my left. When I am watching tv with my husband, I twirl with my right hand so that I don't elbow him.
I frequently find myself chewing my lower lip or inner cheek.

I would say procrastination. I've been putting off things that I needed to do at a later time for as long as I remember. And then I end up cramming. The stress alone is not worth it.
Also, I need to work on my tardiness. I needed to realize that it's not just my time that's important but being tardy is just being plain disrespectful of other people.

I confess that I have a few bad habits that I really should work on changing. I used to party and drink a lot when I was in college, but now that I'm married and a mom I've changed my wild ways--lol. I do tend to be a procrastinator about some things that I'd rather not deal with. Let's see...I do have a bad habit of biting my nails when I get nervous; I've done that since I was a kid. And of course there is the fact that I smoke, but I don't know if I would call that a habit anymore. I'm just starting to realize that--for me, at least--it's become more of an addiction. It's one, however, that I'm not quite ready to give up. I know, I know... I have tried a few times, and I will quit eventually. Brittnee, you didn't mention if you were trying to give any of you "habits" up. Are you?

One bad thing i wish to change is "If i love someone then there would be no looking back for me on any other aspect" and "unfortunately the same holds when i hate someone".If you can get as what i mean to say.At times i get drunk completely when i'm a bit low...i see that i stay away from public places though.
You are so bad girl

Bad habits are things that most of us cannot get rid of, like biting of nails, chewing on a pencil, etc. If you really want to get rid of it, you should be committed to getting rid of it and it will boost your chances of success. Try getting a habit that is good for example reading articles or anything else that will not be a bad habit. This will help you get rid of your bad habit by giving you a new one and forgetting all about the bad habit that you have.

I have many bad habits but not really desperate to change them. But this bad habit of mine, one of all my bad habits, I really am desperate to change it which is, I like postponing my alarm time in the morning. When it rings and wakes me up, I will take the clock and extend the time to another 10 more minutes. I will do it like 4 to 5 times until I know that I'm really really going to be late to work if I do not wake up and get ready right that moment. I always end up not having breakfast every morning :(
