Bad habits

edited October 2011 in General Discussion
We've all got them, right? I have a couple right now that I'd really like to break. First one, (honestly, it's hitting me right now..) is nasty. I peel the skin off of my finger tips, and no, it isn't dead. It's come to a point where on a few of my fingers, the prints are barely visible, and the skin is tough. I think it's impulsive.. When I'm scared or stressed, it really starts in, I need to pick it. Or just when I'm bored... Makes for nice entertainment. It stopped during the Summer, but when school started back up.. It came back with a vengeance. Today, in class, I picked 3 fingers to the point where they were bleeding a bit. I didn't mean to.. I just can't break the habit, and I know it has to stop. <br><br>Next, I pick my lips. Even more impulsive, happens when I'm stressed, rarely for entertainment. Except for when they're chapped (which is frequently..) then I might pick. I've picked till they bleed, too.. Once again, unintentionally. <br><br>Anybody else have an unbreakable habit? Or tips on how to break these?

    Have you tried taking gloves to school? I know it sounds difficult but youve gotta make it to where you have to THINK to pick your fingers soo you can tell yourself no. I pick my lip sometimes myself. Never unless they are cracked or chapped first though. With that, i put lip balm on. I dont pick because it gets stuff all over your hands if you do. =) hope that helped

    Ooh, I haven't thought about gloves.. I've had band-aids one the fingers that've bled.. Which stopped the picking. But the kids in my school are so nosey. I'd probably get "Why do you have gloves on?" 20 times walking down the hallway! :lol:

    Its better than picking your fingers raw xD You can end up cauging nerve damage and that isnt fun (i have nerve damage in my left leg from a riding accident a few months ago.) And id just keep em on until you quit the habit but if you feel yourself starting to pick it up again resort back to them.

    I do both of those. But I dont pick my lips, I like bite and peel of some of the extra skin in my mouth on my cheeks.

    I like crack my fingers a lot when im near other people I don't know or feel stressed around. I like pull each finger till they crack and then keep doing it until I am out of the situation... And I used to pick little scabs I had on my scalp.

    I pick at my lips when they're chapped too, I cannot <span style="font-style:italic">stand</span> the feeling of loose skin on them!<br>I also pick at my nails and break them a lot... D:<br><br>But I don't have such a bad habit that it actually harms me severely... as far as I know...

    Haha, I used to pull my eyebrows and eyelashes out, in my school picture for that year, I barely have eyebrows and lashes. I also used to pull my hair out, until my mom told me a story about a girl who has a permanet bald spot because of it. O.o

    I lean over my desk too much xD Like.... I curl into almost a fetal position when im siting at a table or in a class. I have a bad back and before i had surgery on it it would hurt badly to sit up straight soo its turned into more or a habit or a comfort situation for me.

    She does! I'll vouch for that. I sat in front of her in College English and when shes reading a book or something, she will cross her legs and put her elbow on her knee and her chin on her fist xD I've nearly elbowed her in the head a few times when I've turned to pass a paper back or talk to her haha
