Step Into the Confessional: What bad habits did you have when you were a kid?

[Bosh]

No nail biting here, much to prosaic for me Instead I had:

-twirling my hair into knots until I looked like I'd had a run in with a demented knitter.
-pulling my hair out, one hair at a time.
-scraping away all the paint off my pencils.
-scraping all the enamel of my wooden desks.
-drawing literally thousands of cartoon ugly faces all through my workbooks. mostly males with bulbous noses for some reason.
-then when I was older and started running cross county I got insane calluses, when I got bored I would drive mechanical pencil leads into them, sometimes whole inches horizontally, which didn't hurt at all

beat that

You know I just managed to stop doing that.

I still bite dead skins off of where nails are.

I compulsively duct-taped stuff together.

You haven't had fun until you've used three rolls of duct tape to stick a phone handset to its base. Or a few more than that to make sure all of the chairs around the dinner table stay tucked in underneath it.

chewing on the pads of my fingers. chewing arond the nails to remove any dead skin. sticking my fingers in my ears to remove ear wax. cleaning my teeth with my fingernails . picking at my acne.

I still have some of those bad habits. Yes I know, disgusting

[Frankychan]

same here, chewing the skin off around my fingernails. the skin around my nails looks flayed in some area's...raw in others.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Shoplifting, arson, gluesniffing and wearing eyeliner.

i will chew anything as a kid, to this day i eat pens and pencils.....first the lids, then the piece at the top, finally i start chewing on the frame till it cracks, breaking it off and spitting it out...

too many pens have imploded in my mouth

[Sirotnikov]

I either bite off or tear off dead skin or scar tissue from my lips, which causes more dead skin / scar tissue etc.

I also sometimes tend to pop zits (which causes only more zits) but I don't do that often and my face is relatively clear.


I usually keep either forgetting or being too lazy and don't cut off my fingernails. This means that at times I have very long finger nails. My finger nails are very pretty apparently, for some reason; at times when I forget to cut them, girls start getting jealous. This makes me feel a bit wierd so I cut them.

I like either scribbling / drawing something or writing parody articles.

I used to draw alot. I actually remember drawing alot of different monsters and superherous when I was a small kid. People now told me that they feared me because I would invent whole armies of monsters and draw them, and the kids around me thought I was worshipping satan or somethin

I also noticed now that I was quite intrigued in the male upper body, as I would draw alot of superheroes with naked upperbody and would spend hours learning the muscles etc on superheroes.

Bite my fingernails..that's bout it.

I have solved that problem. I used to allways bite+ saw fingernails (saw as using another nail as cutter, usually thumbs). I still do that, It's not a complusion anymore. I actually do it still because I find my teeth and nails do better job than real nail cutters, the real ones leave the nails too sharp, so I would still have to bite them to make them good.

What else? I was really agressive kid, but it went away before I turned 10. I think...
And lotta nose picking... no comment about the situation now.

[Alvaro]

nails. biting, skin around, not cutting.

that has lasted to this day, though not as bad as it used to be.

minor criminal activities that circled arround corruption/destruction of government property. the disregard to army property especially is prominant to this day.

[Seeker]

I actually did eat glue. Not sniff, eat.

Also, I loved egging on fights. You know those people in the circle taking bets and shrilling 'kick im in the nuts'?

I was such a delightful little scamp.
