- Procrastination.
- Peeling skin around my finger nails.
- Preening my BF (he would say that is a bad habit... I enjoy it :)).
- I am not too bad with this anymore, but I used to be late all the time.
- I would agree that sometimes I am guilty of being too pessimistic. I am always assuming that other people's relationships wont last, that people have negative motives etc. etc.
- Being very opinionated and sometimes I can be argumentative (usually with my mom... haha). |

| Oh, I'm overly cynical. For no reason really, I just have a lot of negativity in me I suppose. |

that's not really a habit, more of a personality. |

I'd like to consider it a habit, because it's definitely something I can work to be a little better at avoiding.
But yeah, you're right. |

I refuse to go to sleep when I should. I only sleep when I eventually hit exhaustion. Leads to many days of running on 1-2 hours of sleep. Luckily, those days usually end up with an early bed-time.
I play way too many videogames.
I talk too much . People know I don't mean 99% of the words that I say, but it still gets me in trouble sometimes :P |

Life is probably just a string of bad habits that we come to learn from. Your interests change, you shrug off old ones with impertinence, the only 'bad' ones are the ones that recur to make us aware of our inability to move past them by fault of will, alone.
I guess I'd rather like to live my life with smoking or drinking, getting 8 hours of regular sleep each night, never having to deal with the consequences of my own negativity or reckless critique of others. Move past my own fears, my own laziness, my own fears of laziness - but I don't suppose I can will myself out of those sorts of habits, I can only learn to live with the supposed faults of my own personality, and hopefully understand the cause better that I might move past them before I am forced again to deal with the collateral angst of being an upright ape, though I don't suppose anyone learns a damned thing without a certain degree of pain.
That said, I rather like my bad habits. Why else would I maintain them so diligently? |

Yeah you know, I thought of that. What are we if not our bad habits? Aren't they, in a way, the things that make us "unique"? If you took away all of the choices that we make that we consider bad habits, where does that leave us but all living the same sort of lives and having the same kind of experiences? Bad habits are a key indicator of each person's idiosyncrasies. |

My feelings exactly.
Of all the 'bad habits' out there, personal shame is probably the most vile, consuming, addictive one there is. It's probably the result of childhood spirit trauma!
But really, if there is something about yourself that you do not like, change it. If there is something you do that you would like to do differently - do so. *Of course* this is far easier said than done, but all too often I hear people refer to their habits as 'bad'... just out of habit. haha. Sitting there feeling ashamed over the things that are wrong with you is just spineless adherence to inert societal qualms. Yes, there is a point where this mindset can allow for self-destruction, but in the majority of people, it's a habit of individual attrition any way that you look at it.
p.s. buy my book. |
