I usually just crack my knuckles in every possible way.
I also fidget and look at other objects. [Distraction~]

Haha yeah I do that too, besides cracking my knuckles. Idk why I can crack everything else but not my knuckles.

Depending on the situation...
-wringing my thumbs
-covering my nose/mouth with my hand by pinching the bridge of my nose
-spreading and curling my fingers
-tapping my fingers
-digging my nails into the palms of my hands
-fiddling with my hair or clothing
-hiding my face
-adjusting my glasses

There are probably more, but those are most common.

When I feel nervous I tend to scratch my head a lot, get really quiet, pick at or bite my nails, pointlessly touch various areas of my face, clear my throat or cough, smile awkwardly, nod my head excessively (depending on who I'm talking to), wipe my glasses even if they don't need cleaning, cover my mouth with my hand, play with my hair, suck on my bottom lip, and misc. others. I have waaaay too many nervous habits to count. xD Lol

Haha! Yeaaaaah I understand. (: I have way to many of them too. O.e lol

I stiffen up when I'm nervous, and this 'feeling' goes around my body. It's like I'm scared of something. I also tend to suddenly when I am sitting down, sit up straight like a formal meeting or something. I would feel like my heart skip a million beats. Though if it's just a quick-nervousness antics it would be more like skipping just one beat. xD
I can't clutch on to anything coz you will see most nervousness probably in the hands. It shakes so ferociously, though it is still hard to determine, coz on normal days, like when just eating, my hand shakes, sersly. I dunno why I guess just some bad habit or something? OTL" while I am typing i may not notice it but my hands are shaking too so I guess that's why I get a lot of errors, and sometimes type so overly quick. I sometimes bite my bottom lip but that is just normally occurs when I am in trouble or something.
I get nervous pretty easily, too. Like for example, when my dad sneezes, my heart feels like it skipped a beat.-yes sersly his sneeze is something I'd rather not associate with. When my teacher calls my name I get nervous, too. I feel like in trouble or something. When I get called from the outside the classroom at school I also feel nervous. I make a big deal out of everything, so yeah..

But other things I do when I am nervous is I just for example, typing, just suddenly slow down until it comes to a stop.

When I'm nervous I bit my lip a lot then regret it later cause it starts to bleed and burn when I eat spicy foods such as hot sauce or chips like salt and vinegar.
When I'm bored I'll start to bit my nails and peel the skin off my fingers but I won't even notice it. When I do, I stop immediately. I started doing this when I was seven but I could never stop. I still do it even though I try not to.

I have so many nervous habits that I wish I could get rid of. I mess with my bangs excessively, I rip paper when I'm really stressed, and I bite my nails. Obviously, I'm a mess when I'm nervous or under a lot of stress.

yup... when it gets too quite in a room i can't stand it and just have to talk. I find quiteness oddly uncomfortable, so whenever i take tests or do things that require silence I get to take out my iPod and listen. xD

Also, I don't get nervous a lot, but when i do, I tend to groom my hair.

Similar to you, I will bite my lip... Once I bit it so hard that my body lip was gushing blood and my friend was like "holy crap are you ok?" and I was like "yeah, bite my lip when Im angry." XD

When I get nervous I tend to rub my fingers together, chew/peal my lips, bite my thumb, or jitter my legs... I'm pretty much a wreck. XD

I don't consider it a nervous habit as much as just a habit... First of all I carry around a blanket with me wherever I go (within reason!) I mean, I take it with me to bed and take it with me downstairs to the living room and to hotels, but I don't just tote it around (like .. in my car) all the time.
Anywho, I weave the blanket between my fingers though all the time if it's near. And I do it only with my blanket, no other blanket would cut it. I like the cool and soft feeling between my fingers I think.
I woke up one morning awhile ago and one of my fingers was stiff and hurt to bend; so that was really weird. I had to set my finger straight for a day and let my whole hand rest for a day and a half before the feeling went away. I'm still unsure what brought about the stiffness, but I suppose maybe the weaving? -shrug-

I can't avoid my habits at any cost >.>
I tend to bite my lips and peel off the skin that forms up on my lips, which I get scolded from teachers after doing that. Also, I'm used to biting my nails and they get wedged between my teeth, and I have to go for it for at least 10 mins to remove it, and now my nails aren't very nice to look at too, some nails short while others are long, all uneven. And when I lie, telling a speech, or talk with someone I haven't, I just can't get the words out of my mouth, they seem like they are stuck together and is hard to produce the words (though at other times I'm very cheeky). I'm also used to screaming when even a small bit of paper falls down, or when playing some games the game gets knocked out (like domino) I scream so much that everyone in out section can hear it.

when im nervous i sway or rock side to side or from the tip of my toes to the heel of my feet i chew on the inside of my cheek and sometimes peck at my nails and if some one is talking to me (the person who is making me nervous) i tend to stare in there eyes not to sound weird but that always makes me feel weird but i feel i need to to show that im paying attention XD

When I'm nervous, I tend to bite the inside of my lips and I'll mess with my fingers. If I'm incredibly nervous, my voice quivers, I get really hot, and I get close to the brink of tears. :(

I do a lot of stuff others have mentioned they do, but mainly, I pull on my ear lobe or pluck the skin on my neck, which causes people to ask me why my neck is red all the time. It's annoying, but I can't stop, 'cause I rarely even notice that I'm doing it.

I tend to get a huge grin on my face... I try not to but I can't help it

I guess my nervous habits have levels? But I suppose everyone's would, no?

Usually I just sort of pinch my lips with my fingers and roll them around a little. It's kind of an unconcious thing because I do it a lot. I scratch the back of my neck a lot too, and shift my glasses.

But when I get really scared, I get the shakes, and my whole leg will quiver like it's .. on automatic or something, you know? I also tend to bite my lip sometimes, too..

When I get really angry, I bite the insides of my cheeks. I guess to keep from yelling at someone, or something like that. You know, I actually twiddle my thumbs! I forgot about that, heh.

I wonder if anyone's tried to overcome their nervous habits..?

I tend to keep my hands up by my mouth, or on the side of my face. Dunno why...
And I kinda tuck my lips into my mouth (like a reverse kissing face) if I'm really nervous or anxious. xD Haha...I probably look really dumb because I know I do it all the time.

Dude, I am the Grand Master Overlord of nervous ticks.

Back when I had my lip ring, I chewed on it nonstop.
My earrings are the same.
I chew my lip,
Bite my nails,
Pick at my cuticles,
I do that leg bouncing thing,
tear things up,
or pick at my clothes.
A friend told me that chewing your nails or picking your cuticles is akin to cutting. It's the same kind of stimulus-to-stress relief.

I tap my fingers and bite my nails. I also tuck my hair behind my ear a lot.

when I am nervous I bite my nails or crack my finger o3o...

I chew on my nails a LOT. They're always short, but I can't help it! I also stick my hands into my pockts, tuck my hair behind my ears and occasionaly I stutter a bit. But usually I like feed off my nervousness and get loud and confident sounding which is great for marks :D but When I make a mistake I swear rapidly under my breath, must have something to do with the self-hating Gemini are famous for XD Oh and I also run my hands down my jeans, like I'm smoothing them or something...

I scratch my head when i'm thinking. Like sometimes it gets so bad it starts bleeding.

When i get nervous i start talking ALOT. even to people i don't know. Or i giggle like a maniac. OR grip onto whatever is next to me. Sometimes all at once.

When i'm bored i draw on everything. like if i'm not paying attention ill start doodling randomly. (my teachers always got onto me about it when i'd turn in papers covered in art)

If I'm at home and I have an anxiety over something I'll put on my ipod and spin around in my computer chair...I dunno, makes me feel good.

I don't really have any nervous ticks out in public. My voice might sound shakey, but that's about it.
