Mannerisms

I ramble on and on when I am nervous. I also tend to complain alot when I am stressed. =D.

When I am thinking I pace and talk to myself.

Guilty of that too.

I'm also a compulsive chewer, especially when it comes to headphone >.> I sware, one day when I'm using them, I'm gonna chew right through it and electrocute myself, and funnily enough, that thought is still not stopping me from doing it.

When I'm standing still, I tend to fidget my legs, by either doing little crouches or just hoping from one leg to another.

I also have a tendency to flare my nostrils when I'm bored.

Wow, I must be a pretty irritating person to be around :monster:
 
I reckon I am aswel Darkstar :wacky:

I ramble on, fidget and prod t people when Im bored (usually just people I know well haha, I don't do it to random strangers) I'l be like, Im bored *poke*

I also swear to much, I just throw words into sentences unnecessarily all the time. Just call me Gordon Ramsey -_-
 
I've got a couple of them, some not so nasty, some are really nasty.

My most common one is chewing on things. Usually I chew on a pen, or the cord to my headphones. My favorite is my cell phone since I always have it on me.

Another one I have is picking my nose. I do it a lot without realizing I do it, especially in the car.

My last common one is scratching myself inappropriately. I can't stand having an itch and not being able to itch it, especially my butt itches a lot. That or my armpits, and that I try not to do in public but I'd rather itch it than not itch it.
 
I'm shamefully inclined to re-adjust my undergarments on occasion - in public or otherwise. Everything's so damn restricting. >_>

Cracking my knuckles, and just about anything else that makes strange cracking noises. I think this is derived from my underlying desire to... well, break things. Lots of things. Often.

I tend to stare at people a lot to mentally absorb everything physical about a person. Unfortunately the area in which I live gives residence to quite disgusting-looking folk [morbidly obese, physically disfigured, inflicted with horrendous acne etc], but I just can't help myself but just stare. >_> It's always nice when someone lovely comes along though. :monster:

Somewhat in relation to the above, I mentally criticise everyone, occasionally even breaking out into a full sneer if they're sufficiently vulgar in appearance. Completely involuntary, I swear. :wacky:
 
I always people watch, especially when it's warm outside, if Im with my mate we will just sit and bitch about peoples muffin tops/fake tans or just generally looking like twats. If Im on my own, Il just stare but I am guilty of pulling the occassional disgusted face aswel, I saw a girl with too much foundation on today and I was like, DID YOU SEE THE STATE OF THAT?! People really should look in themirror before they leave the house and WHY wear pants that are too small WHY!?

I'm a bitch :wacky:

Edit* Im glad Bei mentioned the nose picking thing, I can be really bad with that hahahah

Get me in the pictures and I will itch and fidget relentlesly :gasp:
 
I bite my nails, but I haven't in some days now, because I'm trying to quit it. ^_^

I can't help but to laugh when I am nervous sometimes, that is why whenever someone thinks I took something or did something they don't believe me when I actually didn't do anything. I sill get nervous when they ask though, I don't want them to think it's me. D:
 
Let's see... I bite my nails. I can't help it. Sometimes I don't even realize that I'm doing it.

When talking, I look people dead in the eye when I'm talking, but when they're talking, I look somewhere else.

I can't eat with my elbows on the table. (I was raised that way.)

I zone out in the middle of conversations sometimes. I'll be talking to you, then just stop. I'll be looking at you dead in the eye too, but I'm off in another world, and you might as well be speaking to a brick wall.
 
I was actually just thinking about a thread like this during school today :monster:

I have a lot of nervous habit-type things... I put my nails in my mouth, making it look like I'm biting them when I'm nervous or being watched. (Speaking in class, while on webcam XD)

I also tend to press my nails into my palms when I'm stressed, and on occasion I've broken through the skin >.> Long sharp fingernails :gasp:

I pull my sleeves up over my hands when I'm wearing long sleeves, it drives people nuts. :P I also wrap my arms around myself like I'm cold, even when I'm not. I'm a very insecure person >.>

I have the same chewing thing other people have mentioned, things such as pens, my lower lip, chewing gum, plastic straws, paper, things like that.

Brushing my hair back and fixing it constantly is the last one I have for now.. that I know of >.>

I really hate a lot of these habits, I've been trying to stop... it's just really hard to. The chewing on my lip and pressing my nails in my hands are the two I'd really like to stop the most, they're painful XD
 
Ever since I was a child I have always played with my hair and not noticed it until someone told me to stop doing it. XD

When I was in school some of the girls would tell me to stop playing with my hair because I was playing with it through an entire class.

Even when I'm driving I play with my hair and twirl it around my fingers.

It's just something I do. I don't have to be in any particular mood, it just happens. XD
 
I used to bite my fingernails off all the time when I was younger, but I don't do that anymore. I tend to chew the skin off my bottom lip sometimes, and chew on straws. (Oral fixation ftw!)

When I'm thinking about something, I tend to rub my chin or pace back and fourth.
 
I'm what's knwon as a 'Crazy Nail Biting Fool'. It's hard to explain so I took a picture:
Mod edit: Can you put slightly more effort into your posts please. Thanks =]

I didn't know this thread was still alive. xD

I picked up something new. These days I bite my lower lip more often than I notice. I only realized when my orgmate pointed it out. When I'm thinking, waiting or even dancing--it's a new habit. I even have a little mark there now. >_>
 
Hm....I'm sure I have a lot of these....

I bit my finger nails when I'm bored, twirl my hair when I'm nervous, never look at people on the face when I'm talking to them. I have a tendency to rest my chin on my palm and that makes my elbow hurt and the skin on it a little raspy which I hate.
I tend to tare the little skin off my lips when they're chipped, its hurts but I can't stop my self x.x;;
