Bad Habits

Yeah, like you my worst habit it smoking. I've cut down recently but I still do it and am not really close to quitting. I also tend to swear quite a bit in daily speech and in the past I've had to actually make an effort to stop myself from swearing in public, in front of kids, ect, because it just became so natural to me. Not as bad anymore but I still swear a lot.

 

Rudeness, cruelty to others, swearing, poor sleeping habits, poor time management skills, procrastinator, lazy, perfectionist, heartless.

That should be about all of my habits I would wish to do away with.

 

I think my all time worst habit is; procrastination. I just don't have enough motivation to make me finish things on time.

Also;
my feet fidget when I am sitting for long periods of time
I laugh during conversations, usually caused by me being so dang nervous all the time
I can get super stubborn with certain things
I avoid telephone conversations
I tend to "agree" with some people all the time, just to shut them up

 

Well...

I guess some of my bad habits:

• I really procrastinate a lot. I get things done but I love to do it at last minute >.<
• I'm easy-going on most things but there's certain things that I will get really stubborn about.
• Meeting new people is hard for me xD I usually can't look into their eyes too long when I talk and tend to say short phrases making convos awkward.
• I've gotten better with this but I used to always put money in my pocket when I went to the store instead of like a wallet. My parents always told me to take a wallet but I never listened. I do it more now though xD

 

I think after looking back on the last three years, I've figured out what's caused me the most pain throughout life. Habits. Things I know I need to change but slip through the cracks despite my best efforts to control them. So I started to wonder what habits trip other people from time to time. Feel free to post your 5 most painful, embarrassing, frustrating habits. Perhaps this will help others understand you a little better and learn from someone else's experience.

This thread was not intended to give people a sob story, but to give people an honest look into some of the challenges that we as human beings experience in our lives.

My 5 most painful habits are:

1: My big mouth.

99% of all the friends I've lost, the pain I've given to others and the embarrassments I've suffered happened because I said something stupid. The worst part is not the moment it happens but the many hours of regret I go through *after* it has been said. In the Pokémon fandom alone, I've been banned from at least 3 chatrooms a total of 10 times, all because I said something stupid before thinking about the consequences.

2: Lack of control over my temper.

Habit #1 comes as a result of habit #2. I grew up not being able to control my temper. I used to hit people and throw things at them when I got mad, including furniture. Back in middle school, I was kicked out of anger management, isolated from school for a whole year, suspended almost every week, I think I heard from someone that the principal called the police on me for throwing rocks at windows, and my parents almost sent me to the nuthouse, all during 7th grade because I had a short temper.

Nobody knows why I get so angry or upset when people express resentment towards me. It's not because everyone's out to get me but because I often forget how to get a hold of myself when the frustration builds up. This often has serious consequences and is always the root cause of all the pain I've given to everyone (including myself), as a result of habit #1.

3: My fragile ego.

I don't think very highly of myself, folks. I have low self-esteem, a poor-self image, and I often comes across as arrogant or narcissistic as a result. It's hard to be friends with someone who's wrapped up in himself all the time. Most people do not want to be around someone who always has to be right. When I feel the need to be right all the time, it's because there's a voice in my head that keeps telling me "I'm smart, you're dumb, I'm big, you're little, I'm right, you're wrong, and there's nothing you can do about it." When there's a chance I'll look like an idiot for being wrong, that's when things start to go wrong on the outside.

4: Procrastination

I often complain about how slow my life is moving, yet at the same time put off things that I know I need to do in order to advance. What's just as ironic is that I waste time complaining about wasting time. I would save myself a lot of agony by simply doing something first and then talking about it, but by default, I do the exact opposite.

5: Lack of self-discipline.

I never had much growing up. It was never taught in school or passed down by my parents. I often ask mom how she was able do discipline herself to do what she needed to do and she could never really explain it to someone who never used it. Later I found out why. She grew up during a time where she had to use discipline in her life, the 70s. During a time where she endured poverty, rationed food and a lot of strikes.

Having grown up in a relatively easy life compared to what my parents had to go through, I'm now left with the challenge of developing the habit of using self-discipline by myself, and it's not easy when you consider the other habits I've mentioned that get in the way.

 

Well, let's see...

.I'm very shy, and beacause of this I avoid talking to anyone I don't know.
.I'm very stubborn about certain things.
.Procrastination, is what I do.
.Short attention span.
.Lazy.
.Constant swearing.
.I twitch a LOT. I twitch at anything; because of anything.
.Rudeness.
.Poor sleeping habits.

 

I'm just very insomnic because of a bad sleeping habit I developed, and I'm very sassy to just about everybody.

 

My bad habit: I lie. A lot. Without even wanting it.
I lie about things that are just totally not important, and I lie to everyone.
But the worst part of it: No matter how strange my lies are, everyone always believes them.
I try to stop doing it, but for some reason, it goes se automatically -_-

btw, this was not a lie

 

I tend to bite my tough, but it happens mostly when I'm in a car. u-n I also crack my knuckles a lot if I'm talking in front of a big group.

 

I tend to keep a short attention span when it comes to movies or something, and I can't seem to push myself from procrastination. I need a larger sense of urgency, I just can't recover.

 

Bad habits huh...

Well, I have this habit of biting my nails when I'm thinking. And since I'm a student, I have to think a lot. It's not so bad except for the fact that it's highly unhygienic and there are times I actually bleed. Blood tastes gross.

I also have this bad habit of doing my homework early in the morning before going to school. Early in the morning like 3am. I dunno. I can't seem to work as well if it's not around that time. Although my work quality is much higher for that during that specific time, the rest of the day's performance is cut in half because of my lack of sleep.

I also have this weird habit of not looking in mirrors. I dunno why, but I can't stand being near mirrors (maybe it's because of one too many horror movies). So most of the time I don't notice how messy my hair is, or if my buttons are done properly. It's trivial, yes, but really annoying when you realize that your shirt is inside out for most of the day and no one bothered to point out. How embarrassing!!!

Oh yeah, I get embarrassed really really easily it's not even funny. I even get embarrassed at other people's embarrassment. I dunno. I get embarrassed over very trivial things.

 

Bad habbits? Oh boy, you might want to take a seat for this one:

Eating the skin around my fingernails, daydreaming in inappropriate times, extreme self criticism, overthinking simple things, goofing around when under stress, quoting cartoon characters (all the time), extremely short attention span, inability to focus on the essential... yeah, I think that's enough for this post. As you can see, I'm a hot mess.
