Just… being lazy. Like, the clothes are washed and dried, but they stay in the basket and never get put up. I put chores off a lot. There’s a certain anxiety I have about stuff, like I’m worried it’ll take forever or take a lot of effort. It never does, and it always works out better, but that anxiety stops me every time.

As a teenager I ironically started saying "howdy" as a greeting. It's now decades later and I still can't break the habit.

I am in no way from the US, let alone parts of it that would say howdy on a regular basis.

You should merge your thing with the guy repeating stuff to his wife's chagrin.

Howdy, howdy, howdy

I've started saying everything multiple times like Johnny Two-Times in Goodfellas and it's driving my wife nuts nuts nuts.

It can't be harmless, but I bang my teeth together in delicate and particular ways to simulate playing drums and I'd really like to not do that no mo.

Have you tried nail polish? I had a nail biting phase which I successfully replaced with a nail polish phase.

I do colour polish because I like colours, but frankly I've not encountered any good-tasting nail polish :P

I was able to stop by teaching myself classical guitar. Suddenly there was a reason to have nails and it was easy to stop. I guess it's similar to the other guy having nail polish. Find a reason for yourself to have fingernails instead of simply trying to stop biting them.

Counting my toe flicks. I would flick my big toe and index toe up and down, alternating between left foot and right foot, while counting how many times I have flipped. I don't do it for a long time, mostly up until 20 to 40 counts. May be it's some kind of coping mechanism that I used to do when I was young but it somehow stucked.
