    I'm a compulsive leg shaker. I'm also bad at relaxing. I feel like there is always something to get done and I never really want to just sit and relax. I pretty much always keep myself busy, otherwise I get bored.

    I'm the same way. :sad: I legitimately don't know how to relax. Period. If I get comfortable with my life, I go off the deep end and find a hobby or something that's going to create more chaos.

    I pick and pull the skin on my lips. Sometimes I use my fingers, but usually I use my teeth to peel it. It gets so sore sometimes!

    When I'm nervous, I just get quiet. I'm not really aware of any quirks related to nerves. I don't bite my nails or chew on my lip. I just can't speak.

    I seem to wring my hands or if I have something in them I twist it all up. Daughter was always telling me I was clicking my fingernails when driving. Nervous habits I don't usually realize I'm doing.

    I've done this my whole life! I've got lip wrinkles now because of it. Such a pain.

    I pick at my cuticles and tear them when in traffic. It hurts and my fingers don't look great when I do it.

    I do the same thing! I also nod my head - a lot. I have seen it on video - not attractive.

    I have quite a few, but the most annoying is when I get stressed I pick at my skin - which causes acne, which causes me to stress out and pick more and... it just sucks.

    i have more of a shy habit than a nervous one... when i'm uncomfortable, or feel shy, i tend to put my hands in front of my mouth, like hiding the awkward smile, and the blushing that is inevitably happening. i just put my thumb nail on my tooth and pretend to chew it, though i don't really!

    I wouldn't call this a "bad" habit, but I rub the crystal charm on my necklace.

    I am a finger tapper. Especially when I'm anxious. I tap the table the sides of my legs or my hands at a fast pace.

    Take your pick, let's see...

    Tap my whole leg like it's been electrified.
    Pick at my cuticles till my fingers are torn up
    Sadly, any defect on my hands/arm - IE: small cuts, nicks, whatever... I'll keep picking them. There is one spot on my arm that has a callus that is nearly 20 years old. Plus, if I start it causes a chain reaction "itchiness" in my skin and I will scratch it till I'm bleeding. I so try to not do it, but my job is extermly stressful and it's gotten worse these last few years. :(

    you're my nervous doppleganger

    Chronic nail biter...they have been reduced to nubs, and I'm always picking at the skin at their sides because of it.
    I cry when I'm frustrated or SUPER stressed out (ugh, this one is humiliating and annoying).
    I apologize too much.
    I chew on my bottom lip, especially if they're dry or chapped.
    I pace when I'm on the phone.
    I jiggle my leg up and down or wiggle my foot back and forth when sitting down or lounging on the couch.
    I pop my knuckles and neck.
    I take forever to stop fidgeting when I lay down for bed...can't ever get comfortable.

    .....all I can think of at the moment. Man, I need help, haha

    I don't acknowledge or accept compliments.

    "you look hot!" from gay boy friend

    "thanks..." awkward laugh and turning red from me.

    I don't bite my nails, I pick at them and my cuticles whenever my hands aren't occupied. I also tap my foot a lot

    I chew on my lips. They end up chapped and cracked. I do it compulsively when I nervous. I gave it up one year for lint and for the most part that worked, but at times of intense stress I find myself doing it yet again.

    I do this too, in high school and college I would chew so hard during tests that my mouth would hurt afterwards. I still do it all the time just not as hard.

    I pull out my eyelashes. Tug, really, but a few lashes always come out..
    I will play with any jewelry I wear. Ring are bad. I had to stop wearing them or would spin them constatly.
    Crack my neck. over and over. It's kind of gross. My nephew told me that I looked like I would pop off my own head one day. I've tried to stop, but...
