    wow i never felt so normal reading everyone's personal nervous habits!

    I chew the whole inside of my mouth, espeically when i read, but when im stressed, bored, etc, like all the cheek skin is gone
    I chew/pick the sides of all my fingers, hate it when they start bleeding, even massive amounts of lotion dont help.
    I twirl my own hair around my finger and when i sleep, i do it to my husband.
    I shake my foot a lot, or juggle my leg up and down if its touching the ground.
    I have a head tic, that shakes when im trying to concentrate, so you dont know if its gunna fall off or im just staying NO very vigerously.

    I pick at the skin around my finger nails, either making hangnails worst or causing them.

    another nail biter. I've destroyed the nail bed and I have bumps and ridges that won't go away. I do it w/o thinking, often in the car. the only way I minimize the destruction is by keeping them cleaned up, manicured, polished if possible. They'll never look human again though, I'm sure of that. LOL

    Pfft. You all are normal.

    I bite the insides of my cheeks. Alternating sides. Hard. Have since I was a kid. I look like a camel when I do it.

    I do this. But mostly it's the inside cheek of my lower lip. If I'm talking or eating or distracted, I do not do this. But if I'm driving and I'm in traffic, I can tear it up. Crazy.

    I do this but on all my fingers. It sucks.

    Yep. It really hurts after a while, but I don't realize I'm doing it until it's done.

    I play with my rings. I can't even stop it when I notice I'm doing it. Dead give away that I'm nervous.

    I'm also a phone pacer, lip chewer, and hair player-wither. :laugh:

    I bite my lip. I find that if I chew gum I tend to do it less, but I'd be chewing gum all day long. I really think my bad habit has caused wrinkles too... boooooo!!!

    Why would you get booted for no replies to posts? :noway:

    I'm struck by the genius of eating ice to deal with an oral fixation. How many other people might have dealt with the same fixation by eating hard candy or popcorn or some other snack? Ice as a snack: 0 cals, 0 carbs, 0 sugar. Good stuff.

    I do the same thing. :)

    Same here. But I also have a bad habit of chewing the center of my upper lip. I even get on my own nerves I do it so much.

    I remember the first time I saw my little girl picking at her face until it started bleeding...

    "Awww honey! Daddy's sorry he passed his crazy on to you! Who's a beautiful little neurotic princess? It's you! Now let's get ice cream and chew our faces while obsessively counting."
