Habits you've developed...

[Jumplion]

I personally have a habbit of touching my ears, specifically the jagged tips on the top of your ears. I touch them every time I'm nervous, bored, fidgetty, sad, and some other emotions. I can't help it, in one of my home movies you can see me touching my ears the whole time when my Aunt is giving a speech.

Any habits you have? Wether it be tapping your foot or licking your elbow(?), are there any habits you just can't break?

 

[ThePoodonkis]

I have a habit of scratching my eyebrows when I'm reading for some reason, and cracking knuckles when I talk to people.

 

[meatloaf231]

I crack my neck as others would crack their knuckles.

 

[Raikone]

I bite my nails, chew my lip and twitch when I'm nervous or bored.

 

[Arondight]

I run my thumb and index finger down my goatee like some diabolical evil-genius plotting his scheme to take over the world....

...or it's just a bad habit.

 

[bluerahjah]

Bite my nails, and according to my wife, the annoying habit of always turning on Marvel vs. Capcom 2 whenever she's trying to watch one of her many shows.

I do the same...hey did I see you at the last Dastardly Scientist networking meet in London on Wednesday?

 

[Arondight]

If you mean the bearded fellow with the White Russian and musketeer hat then yes, that was me. How goes it, Dr. Professor?

 

[Geoffrey42]

I have a lot of nervous habits...

Oral fixation: touching my mouth or teeth in a repeating pattern (often gradually increasing in speed), or just having my hand on or around my mouth.

Taking my watch on and off (doing/un-doing the clasp), spinning it in my hands, twirling it (ditto with my ring, and my glasses; must have something to occupy my hands, particularly when talking, listening, concentrating, etc). Lacking a watch, my ring, glasses, keys, or a pen, I will play patterns on my fingertips between my forefingers and thumbs. Hands... must.. be... OCCUPIED! As they say, idle hands...

Spitting into the tub when turning on the faucet for a shower (I have no idea how this got started, or what the point is, but I often find myself doing it unconsciously, and I've made a concerted effort NOT to do it, with some success. Potentially a somewhat-conditioned response to the thought of the taste of soap?)

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

I have a habit of rubbing my chin and the top of my ears.

I also have a habit of button mashing without a controller.

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

I rub my chin alot and I am often cracking my knuckles

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

When I'm tense, I clench my feet, as in curling and uncurling my toes inside my boot.

 

[Najos]

I run my hands through my hair or play with it when I'm tired/bored. I don't know of any nervous tells I have, but I don't often find myself being very nervous.

 

[Aries_Split]

I run my hands through my hair or play with it when I'm tired/bored. I don't know of any nervous tells I have, but I don't often find myself being very nervous.

 

[odisious15]

I have a deformity in both my shoulder blades that cause them to make very audible clicking noises; and of course since I love the sound for some reason I'll make them click over and over again when I zone out. Apparently I'm the only person that doesn't find it gross judging by some of the looks I've gotten.

I also run my fingers through my beard a lot when I'm bored. (I most likely do this because subconsciously I believe birds may have tried to nest while I wasn't looking.)

 

[Usnota]

I run my hands through my hair or play with it when I'm tired/bored. I don't know of any nervous tells I have, but I don't often find myself being very nervous.

same here

 

[Najos]

Oh, my girlfriend has a funny one. She actually braids her hair over and over and over when she's bored or just spacing out or well, most of the time. At the end of a long movie all of her hair will be braided at least two or three times over.

 

[Thais]

I "twirl" my hair when I'm thinking hard, or bored or agitated. Thing is...I'm black and have hair coarse enough that the twirls kind of...stick around. After a bad day at work, I look...

...

...well, it's somewhere between "interesting" and "crazy"...

 

[Zombie_King]

I repeatedly bob my foot when I'm anxious, and do a lot of scratching when I'm nervous.
