    I bite my nails.

    My legs are always on the move. If I am sitting my legs are bouncing.

    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 bit my bottom inside of my mouth! Once it gets swollen i can't leave it alone!

    I bite my nails and pick at the skin around my fingers.

    It's a terrible nervous habit. =(

    It's not a nervous thing, but I'm a picker. I've ruined some perfectly lovely skin for a compulsion.

    When I'm super nervous, I sweat. Mostly my hands & feet. I've actually been diagnosed with hyperhydrosis-- it's awful. But I suppose maybe nervous diarrhea is worse (?). Maybe.

    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."

    Can't even blame my crazy on my parents. I have to own my neuroses. Lol.

    If you twist and turn away
    If you tear yourself in two again
    If I could, yes I would
    If I could, I would let it go, surrender, dislocate

    If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
    Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
    Into the night and through the rain
    Into the half-light and through the flame

    If I could through myself set your spirit free
    I'd lead your heart away
    See you break, break away
    Into the light and to the day

    Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

    To let it go and so to fade away
    To let it go and so fade away
    I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
    I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no

    If you should ask then maybe they'd
    Tell you what I would say, true colors fly in blue and black
    Bruised silken sky and burning flag
    Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

    Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh

    If I could, you know I would
    If I could, I would let it go, this desperation, dislocation
    Separation, condemnation, revelation
    In temptation, isolation, desolation

    Let it go and so fade away, to let it go
    Oh yeah and so fade away, to let it go, oh no
    And so to fade away, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
    Wide awake, I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no

    I almost never paint my fingernails because I will scrape the polish off (with my nails AND my teeth) as soon as they get a little chip in them.

    I'm occasionally a knuckle-popper, too, but not very often anymore.

    I nibble on my lips alot, so they often end up chapped and dry. I also twist my dreads around my fingers when watching tv etc...so noting really bad. As I child I used to suck my hair, bite my nails, pick my nose and chew the inside of my cheeks. I was a nervous child!

    Old wives' tale. Cracking knuckles is just the popping of gas bubbles in your joint. It's not harmful.

    For those that pick stuff. the only thinkg that I have found that helps is fake nails. They are not sharp enough to pick most of the time. So, it can be really frustrating. But, I make myself bleed much less.... Just an idea.
