Bad/Odd/Embarassing Habits
This thread goes out to any with strange (though not necessarily uncommon) habits. For sleepwalkers, those with OCD, perfectionists, and the like. Even you with naughty habits like weird fetishes (>.> I have a few hehehe), pyromania maybe, or something similar. You're welcome here too! The idea for this thread came to me when I was reading another thread about what people wear to sleep. I was reading a post about someone who tossed and turned in their sleep. Somehow, in my mind, with all its crazed and convoluted trains of thought, tossing and turning turned to me, which somehow made me think of my bf, which made me think of sleepwalking, which led to night time habits which led BACK to me and my embarassing night time habit. Very often, especially when sleeping with others (usually family! e.e you perverts), in the middle of the night, I'll wake up with my shirt off! Either I toss and turn enough to pull it off or I 'sleepwalk' and do it intentionally without realizing it. The most embarassing instance of this was when I took a trip to AZ (Arizona). We only had enough money (if we wanted to stay for as long as we wanted) to rent a single hotel room with 2 beds. This wasn't a problem considering all of us that went are family. (We drove 25 hours from KY to AZ to see my brother graduate basic training :3) Well, the people who'd gone were me, my 23 year old brother, my mom, and my 6 year old sister. My mom and I... hate each other. So there was no way we were sharing. We went round and round trying to decide who was going to sleep where and finally settled on mom and my sister, me and my brother. That night while we were all sleeping, I woke up. About 3am. I felt cold and started to pull the cover back up when I realized... I wasn't wearing my shirt. ._. (This had happened before on multiple occasions XP) Luckily, no one else woke up until I had my shirt back on, at which point my brother woke up and hit me with a pillow because he said I was moving around too much. e.e What are your bad habits? Have they ever gotten you into an embarassing situation? |
It's not an emberassing habit but i mess with my lip rings alot, even when i'm in the middle of a conversation, i just can't help it if i'm wearing hoops in my lips, if i wear studs it's easier to not play with them, but i really like how the hoops look, so i usually have them in and mess with them all the time, like to the point where i can make my lip sore haha, but you could only know how fun it is to play with lip rings if you have them.

Bad Habit..
If i'm concentrating on something, it can be anything at all, i lick my lips continuously. They end up oober sore from this but I can't hardly help it. I also tend to research and look up 100s of things that I probably shouldn't and get overly obsessivly worried. D: |
@Kyle--- Or... you date someone with lip rings :D I'm currently REALLY wanting to get mine done butttttt under threat of having my animals confiscated I don't believe I'll show up at the house with that surprise anytime soon. Doesn't look like I'll be getting to know how fun it is :(
@Karvo--- I do that XP Do your lips get chapped and red from it? Mine do ._. Hurts really bad to especially since I play the trumpet X_x |
I've done the whole taking the top of thing in my sleep before. It was around one of my guy friends and he woke me up telling me to put a shirt on. It was more funny then embarrassing though.
|
Hooray! I'm not alone! I would rather have been with a friend than my brother though >_<
|
I tend to talk in my sleep ^^' I really had no idea until my friends pointed it out after we had a sleepover years ago. Apparently, I could carry an entire conversation in my sleep and anything they asked I responded with the truth. Now that could be a dangerous thing D:
But an even worse habit of mine is I tend to pull on my hair when I'm stressed out. It's gotten to the point where I have a little bald spot. I asked my therapist about this and told me its an OCD-like disorder and prescribed me meds D: At least its gotten better |
Oooo... I talk in my sleep. I know what you mean about it being a bad thing too. The last time, my mom woke me up asking "Who's John? And why were you dreaming about him?" John is my um... bf that my mother doesn't and can't know about hehehe. Apparently while I slept I kept saying "I love you John" and similar things. Glad she thought I was just dreaming.

I scratch my teeth. I hate the bumpy feeling of plaque on my smooth surfaces, so I scrape it off. I think it first started when I'd have to run out of the house to make it to school in time with no time to brush my teeth. So, I'd get that icky feeling and feel that I could substitute brushing with scraping, like they do in the dentist's office. I thought about buying one of those...
I don't brush my teeth nearly as much as I should. I don't like the way food tastes with the toothpaste taste, and it seems that just about every time I think to brush my teeth, I also think, "Well, hold on now. If I'm about to go eat breakfast/lunch/ a snack, more plaque will just build up and I would have just defeated my previous action. So, I hold off until after I eat, and then end up forgetting because I don't have an icky taste in my mouth anymore. And then, I'm driving down the street, or sitting in a waiting room, or at my computer, and I start scraping my teeth. I don't think of how long ago I washed my hands, where the plaque will go, or who's around to watch me... I just go at it. I kinda think it's why my teeth have been healthy for so long despite my not-as-good-as-they-should-be dental habits. *shrugs* |
I do that sometimes... Every now and again i'll use my shirt... It works incredibly well.
|
I bite my nails, when I get nervous, so my hands look like crud and I crack my bones.
,my family freaks out, when I do it, but I find it funny. |
i bite my nails until the point that they are bleeding and i cant touch anything until they grow back :/
and when volume stuffs have numbers on it ill automatically turn it so it ends in a five, i freak out if it doesnt so my family has fun times messing with me ohhh and when i had my lip pierced i would play with the ring (: its addicting to play with. my entire family talks in their sleep although my brother talks about transformers xD i on the other hand will wake up with my phone in my hand and some random text message i think i text in my sleep or i will forget where i am and get up and run out of my room and outside :0 |
I scratch at my skin a lot. I should really stop that, especially since I do it in front of people, too. -sigh-
|
I kick alot when I'm sleeping. Sometimes, I kick my pillows and blanket off and wake up in the middle of the night shivering Dx
I remember one time, my cousin was sleeping over at my house and when I woke up, I was pant less .__. The worst part was that I didn't even realize it until 5 minutes later (I though I had worn shorts to bed) >> It's a good thing that nobody was awake at that time xD Sometimes, I laugh at anything and everything, mostly happens when I feel slow or hyper that day xP It's not really an embarrassing habit but it all depends on the situation >.< I remember this one guy, that for some reason me and my friend found him really funny, he would just stand there or say a word and I would laugh my head off xD |
>>' Sometimes [very rarely] I'll end up waking up to me molesting my room mate.
* o* Thankfully he doesn't mind it and goes with the flow. Other times I wake up topless. |
I used to bite the skin off my thumb :shock: It was a nervous habit, and got to the point where my thumb was practically always bloody or missing chunks of flesh.. >_> I stopped that when I got serious about piano, cause I couldn't bend it without cracking open the wounds..
Later I found out that I'm a bit masochistic, so that's probably why I did it xD The only 'bad' habit I have now is that I have to be chewing on something whenever I read.. and not gum, cause I find that disgusting. Usually it's the bookmark, but my mom bought me some candy that takes forever to eat :P it tastes better than ink too XD |
I have a few little habits, yea i do the lip ring thing doesnt matter if its a stud or ring im always playing with it, and then i always uhh how do i describe this one O_o you know when you put on chapstick or lip gloss or anything and you smack your lips together well i do that all the time and i dont put anything on my lips... but when my lips do get chapped i do it alot and its irritating, then i occasionally will partly stick out my tongue and bite down on it (not hard) but i dont know why i do that, the worst one i have is grinding my teeth in my sleep i always wake up with a very sore jaw >.<
some old habits that i was able to kick was picking at my nails and pulling them off till they were too far down that it hurt, scraping my teeth, and im sure i have other habits but im losing my train of thought |
Wow, almost everything that people have named I've done...
Cept the lip ring thing. I dont have one. One of my bad habits would be napping as soon as i get home. It seems wonderful until its night time and you're up till 5am... |
One I have that is a bit out there is I prepare myself for confrontation or deal with being mad at someone by arguing both sides the way I feel like it is going to go while that in it's self isn't all that bad I sometimes accidentally mutter it under my breath making myself look like a crazy person and attract quite a few stares.
|
hmm well I suppose one of my odd habits is that when I eat an orange I have to peal it twice. I take the usual skin off like the rest of the world but then each slice of orange I take the 2nd skin off and then I can eat it.
|
Hmmm... Some of my other bad habits.
There are more... but I'll stop there .-. |
Im a diluted perfectionist (define at your leisure), pyro (air freshener and a lighter make a pretty wicked flame), and maybe my ocd could be summed up as a habit of turning every piercing 6 times, during the day, or the odd habit of looking directly in peoples mouths as they talk (unless its my piercer, guy has so many plugs in his head I have to look at all of them) (^^)
|
Ooooooo Karakter. Fire is fun >D I didn't even think of that one. Then again, it's been a while since my brother has been home and he's the one I normally do that shit with. Axe (the men's body spray) and a lighter makes a wicked flamethrower hehehe
|
jeezzz you guys are reminding me of the ones i forgot
im a pyro too we had to do something with fire in school and i was practically rubbing my hands together and going BWAHAHAHAHA lol and i bite the skin around my fingernails, but i dont stop when it starts to bleed i will keep going, i have scars. or ill bite myself until i bleed and ive had issues with plastic anything plastic whether it be pens, pen caps, marker caps, the ends of markers, anything i will chew on it sometimes i forget im even chewing on it. |
habits, well, I bite my nails, hug plush toys, feel my socks/stockings against my legs and pat kids on their heads. ^_^ No, not all at the same time no! >_<
