Hair twirlers unite (nail biters welcome)

[desiderata310]

I eat the cuticles if I'm in a bad bad spot. Yeah. I know, gross.
Hair? I keep short but yes I pull, braid, twist, etc.

Hair twirler here! I think I've done it since I can remember. Has nothing to do with stress whatsoever. Rather the opposite. I only do it when I'm relaxed / feel safe. - But when stressed-out, I'm an eager nail biter, cuticles picker and I nibble at the skin around my fingernails. Oh, and I pluck at my left eyebrow while reading or watching TV.

I am a mover- need to pace or move while talking if I can’t and need to sit still I pick snd scratch I hate it and stop when some one points out that I am doing so. I tried stress balls and fidget toys. But I end up picking apart the ball or breaking the toy

I twirl, pull my hair. Rub my scalp and squeeze the bridge of my nose.

All awful habits. It would be so good to sit still too.

Hair twirler definitely in the car! Nail bitter too! I don't remember the last time I actually clipped my nails.

Yep yep

Pulling out hairs just before I saw this... thank you for reminding me not to do that!

cheek and lip biter here. Last dentist visit - 20 years ago - the dentist called a bunch of interns and nurses over to look at my mouth because it was the worst case of whatever-the-scientific-name-was he'd ever seen and he wanted everyone to see it. Yeah that made me feel great. Now I can't go back to a dentist because I can't stop biting/chewing and I don't want another all-call for everyone to see how nuts I am. LOL.

EXCESSIVE MASTURBATION. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR HAIR TWIRLING Oh and I drink. Lol

I quit bitting my nails yesterday. I'm amazed at how fast they grow! It's like I'm a tree and have fast growing leaves on the tip of my fingers :D
