What we need here is a Nail Biter's Support Group
I used to be one, but then I figured out why- I couldn't stand any ridges or anything, to the point of being obsessive-complusive. This sounds mildly stupid, but now I carry a file everywhere with me, keep clear nail polish on at all times, and voilà! It took awhile, but I broke the habit, because I don't want to chew off my nice long nails.But anyway. When I first read this topic title I thought it was going to be about bad twirling habits. I have two of those. One is learning a move in only one direction. Since I'm strongly left-handed, it's hard for me to reverse things. And two is trying to make all my friends learn to spin. 
As for other bad habits, put my name on the paranoia list..I also tend to start things and never finish. Like wanting to learn a new musical instrument, without mastering the ones I already own.Kristen

Here! Here! Pele, I have to say I suffer from these bad habits too:'I look at situations from many perspectives to the point where I end up confusing myself!’‘I procrastinate and then have an anxiety attack trying to get things to fall into place'In fact on two occasions this year, I have been so stressed that I have ended up with a kidney infection. Mind you I did in the end manage to solve the problem, but it’s nearly always to the detriment of my health.SO I guess I am a stress freak. I’m only 22, but I am probably destined for heart failure, or mental breakdown. Love and Light------------------ ~*~ Katinca ~*~

I am adding to mine.... I realized that once my procrastinating is actually me working on one thing to avoid working on something else, leading to the fact that I am a workaholic (but only on things I love to do).However, if I am not doing it, then I am thinking about it, reseaching, organizing, blah,blah,blah.....I do not know how to relax. And it drives WB crazy!

I forget everything I don't like. Not just intentionally, but a lot of responsibilities go unmet because I heard about them and summarily forgot them.I burp if I feel like it and scratch where it itches (I don't think either is too bad, but try talking to girls about it)

Hm.. I nail bite,
I sound like I'm not sure about things when I am,
I'm generally really early for things (and if you think that's not a bad habit, try turning up several hours early for job interviews, or for meeting friends you *know* are going to be late..)
I make weird noises in my throat, without knowing I'm doing it, drives my Mum nuts..
Um, I could probably add to this, but then I'd get all depressed

I bite my nails and the skin on the end of my fingers too.
i also eat raw pasta all the time if it's around and sometimes raw rice. I think it's related to biting my nails, just something else to gnaw on. Any other raw pasta eaters out there?

- I have the shortest attention span ever which often leads to me interrupting people when i really did not mean to be rude.
- zero body concentration as well except if I am training or juggling or some thing , which leads to accidentally bashing in to people/hitting boyfriend the "uncomfortable spot" and generally being unco in public situations.

I can't get the nice middle ground between talking over peoples heads and treating them like children.
It comes from all this med stuff... I try to tell someone why I'm examining their fingers, and all of a sudden these huge complicated words spurt out of my mouth.
And then I try to simplify things, but it come out like I think they're three...
So, people think I'm patronising when I'm explaining med stuff. I just can't find a good middle ground...
My other bad habit is being obsessed with my split ends... so I sit there cutting/picking them. I love cutting my own hair...
