      Oh over thinking and people pleasing. I need to cut this out too. People are always using me and taking advantage of my good nature. Ugh. If you figure out how to stop, let me know!!!!

      i know it's a fine line, but sometimes you have to be selfish.

      Cussing. My grandson is 18 months and starting to repeat things.
      To be fair, new research shows that swearing doesn't hurt kids, unless it's directed at them. I'd rather my kid have an interesting vocabulary when they split their forehead open than make fun of the odd kid in class

      I don't think I have many bad habits to worry about these days. Except maybe worrying. I worry about everyone and everything...all the time. Insomnia loves worry....So I guess that's a habit I would like to break!

      Thinking I can get away with 5 hours of sleep by relying on 16oz of black coffee to get me through the day

      Just last week I made a pledge to myself to quit swearing, I damn sure did.

      Well done ☺

      Eating too much high calorie food, not exercising and getting fast food multiple times a week. I have nearly gone a whole week without fast food! The trick was spending the money on something else (my niece had a birthday, so I brought her a Disney princess costume and some shoes).

      I'm trying to quit smoking -I'm finding that drinking a peppermint tea everytime I have a craving is replacing it with a healthier habit (apart from needing to pee all of the time!)

      Procrastination and avoidance of hard stufff.... I keep making my hard stuff harder because eventually I'm putting out fires instead of just using my talents and knowledge to do the hard stuff. Gawd I need a nap

      Wasting time (procrastinating) instead of just getting things done. It's not even a matter of laziness. I think it's an anxiety thing. Perfectionism - fear of screwing up a project keeps you from moving forward with it. But I just need to tell myself that good enough is good enough. Just get it done, even if it's not perfect! :s

      ^^ Five million times this.

      And yes, for me, it's directly tied to anxiety and a sense of perfectionism that I can never live up to. Mine was bad enough that I had to seek outside help, though.

      My other bad habits mostly revolve around social anxiety and not being in control of everything.

      Mindless snacking in front of the tv. I'd be super skinny if it weren't for that.

      I like to "troll" politics boards on the web by interjecting an opposing viewpoint for whatever is the majority theme...you don't even really have to be a troll, just providing one side or the other with an opposing view is usually enough to set people off on a tirade.
