I pick the skin off my lips and making them bleed obsessively and have decided that I am no longer going to do it. I started this habit when I was about 5 and have come to the conclusion that it is no longer a habit befitting a lady of my age. The worst part is I don’t ever realise I am doing it most of the rime! Given that this is a 30 year old habit it isn’t easy to give up but I am going to do it!

Soooooooooooooo what’s you nasty, dirty habits? Do you want to give them up to?

BTW I have other dirty habits but I am focussing on this one at the moment :blushing:

    My sister used to do the lip biting :|
    Only habit I have is painting my fingernails daily, which used to be biting them off and spitting them out.. So traded a bad habit with a less.. bad one? I guess?

    I scrape my nails along the sides of my thumbs and now they are calloused. Part of the reason I need to keep my fingernails short.
    Oh and I still do the farmers blow on occasion.

    I use the same water cup, lid, and straw at work for weeks before washing it. I am going to make a point of taking it home every weekend and washing it.

    I crop dust unsuspecting lifters at the gym. Then I watch as they look at each other wondering who did it....

    Whenever I have to burp, I have to turn my head sideways, ears towards shoulder. I look like an idiot trying to coax the burp out with my head going side to side.

    I. Can't. Stop.

    OMG this is my habit too! If you have any ideas how to stop let me know. If I remember to put chapstick on it helps, but the minute I forget I'm chewing again.

    I bite my nails :( I don't think it's too nasty or dirty but I've been meaning to stop. I only just recently started doing it again and they're really ugly lol

    Get 24 hour lipstick. The kind that is butt to get off. That's how I managed to get my sister to stop. I got her a bunch of colors to keep her entertained.
    ETA: It wasn't cheap, but I'd rather not see my sister's lips bleeding.

    Maybelline 24 superstay - apply generously. I prefer the selection in stores, more colors to choose from, online doesn't seem to have that many colors, maybe on the maybelline site?

    Some people are knuckle crackers but I bend and crack my toes when I get into bed every night. Just some weird habit. Not totally gross but it drives my husband crazy. :grumble:

    I chew the skin off on the inside of my mouth when I'm nervous, which is all the time.

    One time after a dentist visit, my mouth was so numb I didn't realize I was chewing a big whole on the inside of my cheek. It hurt so bad.

    Yep, I bite the insides of my cheeks and my lips incessantly. I've stopped biting my nails (thanks, nail polish!) but if my nails are short I find myself still biting off the sides and cuticles. I find I do it more when I've been smoking cigarettes but I kicked that a few days ago so hopefully it'll tone it down.

    I also use the blistex medicated lip balm (in the little blue tub) and I find that helps repair my beat up lips and keeps me from biting them (it tastes gross!) but I still haven't found a solution for the cheeks.

    It's called Dermotillomania. I have it too, though I do it worst around my cuticles and my scalp!
