Nervous Habits

I do that, too, RR.

I also pick at my nails, cross my arms in front of me, and bounce my foot. All nervous habits.
 
Bite nails and play with my hair. Wait, I play with my hair all the time at school...but I think it gets worse when I'm nervous....
 
I chew on my lips and the inside of my mouth, which makes me incapable of eating most salad dressing. I also chew the skin next to my fingernails, which makes it all calloused, so I pick at it when I don't have anything in my hands. And if I'm worried about something, I say 'um' and 'uh' a lot, which makes me almost unable to make sense sometimes. I was trying to order a sandwich after having a fight with a friend and the woman working at the shop couldn't understand me. I talk faster when I'm nervous, too. That or I get really quiet.
 
Oh just rip out my eye brows, tighten my watch until my hand goes numb, twitch my foot, cross my legs continuously, shake all over, purr (seriously) o.o
 
I chew on any and everything, weather i'm nervous or not, but more when i'm nervous. I have some half eaten pencils (not chewed, eaten.) my fingernails may as well not exist, rubberbands run in my presence, cardboard, plastic, paper........ if it exists i've probably chewed on/eaten it.
When i get impatient or nervous my leg also shakes, i tend to hum, once in a while i'll twitch or whistle too.
 
I scratch at my inner elbow, or sometimes my forearms and rarely my upper arms. I get pretty bad rashes sometimes. I also look at the person I'm talking to more often, while I usually look at other things while talking when I'm comfortable.
 
I always scratch my knuckles and bite my nails. I've made my knuckles bleed quite a few times. I get nervous really easily.
 
I always move around. If I have to be sitting or whatever I'll keep switching positions. I also sort of try to make myself seem smaller if you get what I mean...I lean lower sort of hunchback like. I also stretch sometimes.

I'm quite strange...
 
If I'm nervous while talking to someone, I usually put my tongue...er, can't explain well...in the front corner of my mouth, in front of my teeth. If that makes sense. I also push my glasses up alot, even if they're not even falling much. I bounce my foot up and down.
 
I pick at my face... and I hate it. I hate that I do that, and I'm trying so hard to stop. >(

I also chew on my nails and the drawstrings of my sweatshirt if I'm wearing one. I'm becoming better at not chewing on stuff, though.

If I'm wearing a backpack or if I have anything narrow on my shoulders, like the strap of a bag or something, I hold onto that, usually with only one hand.
 
I sometimes chew at the skin on my fingers, which would explain why I usually have a wound on my thumb. Also, I usually rub at my thighs, so often, that a lot of people have asked if I'm in pain or something.
 
I tend to chew on things and put them in my mouth. I especially like doing that with the end of my flute, which I could damage, but I don't stop. I also have a spoon that I often chew on, but it's fallen on the floor at least three times D: I also do this when I'm deep in thought. It's like an unbreakable habit D:
 
bite my nails
sometimes when fight or flight thing happens I focus more on the stresser and get increased awareness
I also get jittery
 
Tendency to click on mechanical pencils... a lot. If it's a pen, I'll click on it too. Really rapidly and obsessivelyish. Also I tap my foot. Used to chew on pencils, but I kicked the habit. Also I like to hold things in my hands. If I'm not holding something, I get nervous.
