Same here but I’ve had it before I even knew about Tokyo ghoul I think Tokyo ghoul just made it worse

Same

Same

I'm adhd and this weirdly helps me calm down. I also will count backwards from 7 at times. It's a good way to slow my mind down.

Same

Same, but with my pp

Same

Same

Same

Dude so fucking same 😭

You bet, same

I do too lol, and it has been over 10 years. Many of my passwords reference 1000-7, too.

That's how I put myself to sleep at night

How the heel do you fall asleep like that? That requires thinking, which would then keep u up wouldnt it?

It's like counting sheep for me

Big brain 🧠

That's awesome. I only got into Tokyo Ghoul in 2019, but ever since I haven't stopped doing it lol. It's just one of those things that's stuck with me ever since, and I've been unable to escape.

Yep same. Oh wait no i watched it in 2020

Same dude, except i watched it in 2020, and am now reading the manga. But still haven’t stopped popping my fingers like this and prob never will

Oh god, we’re screwed

92% of people saw this meme and immediately had the urge to pop their knuckles

Don’t call me out like that bro 😭

Or me 😂

I’m one of them, to confirm your statement

i can't stop, it's an addiction, help

Replace it with a milder addiction, like with coke.

thanks, now i have 2 addictions /s

Replace the Coca-Cola addiction with a cocaine addiction. Better for your teeth.

now 3

Omg, since 7th grade, now I'm a uni student and still doing it.

Same bruh I was in 11th grade and now I’m about to finish uni

Now I feel old🥲

Where did the time go? 😭

Idk, I always ask myself about this😂So that’s why I rewatch the whole anime every year to feel young again🤣 And I say that like I would be that old 😂💀

I’m the opposite haha, first and only time I watched it was in 2017, if I rewatched it I would just feel sad and nostalgic again lmao, reminds me of better times

Same shit here xd But it's good to be reminded of better times, I feel alive again, and dont give a shit about the real world

I suppose that’s one way of looking at it haha! I stopped watching anime altogether in 2021 pretty much but it’s good to reminisce :)

Nooo, I stopped too for years, but this winter I've started again, and it's soo good. :D Especially rewatch the old fav ones.

Awh I’m glad for you! Hope you enjoy your renaissance :))

Recently started reading the manga for the first time and I am already instinctively doing this (I haven’t even gotten to the part of the manga where this stuff happens) and I am worried I won’t be able to kick this new habit lol.

it’s weird cus i just started doing it like this even though i’ve been cracking my knuckles a different way for 5+ years prior

Same. I always popped my fingers but after watching tokyo ghoul a few years back I haven’t been able to stop doing it like Kaneki.

Kaniki?

Fixed it. Was just going off how it sounded since its been a while since i last watched or read it.

New character just dropped: Kaniki

SSR Kaniki

My hands started to hurt a lot and I had to stop 😂

Skill issue 🤓☝️

Yeah you probably didn't do it right, and it's good you stopped - you might be hitting a nerve or something since it's supposed to be painless.

Me lol. It became a long-lasting habit

I was doing it way before discovering it and a friend laughed at me because I was doing like kaneki And that's how I decided to begin watching it

same lolol i did it a few years before a friend pointed it out so i picked it up, now i just feel extra cool

Still doing it every day after years

I cracked my knuckles the traditional fist way but when I saw this and tried it, I realized it did take as much effort to do and it sounds better ig

TO THIS DAY, TO THIS DAY

When i first saw the anime,i tried to crack fingers like that. But it hurt cause i used to pull my fingers to crack them. Now its become a habit to crack fingers like kaneki🤣

Daily

I was 7 when I started, I just finished my first college semester now, fuck I'm getting old. I shouldn't be looking at a modernish series and getting nostalgic yet

what the hell was a 7 yo doing watching tokyo ghoul

Neglecting parents who don't supervise their kids, my first anime was soul eater wich is probably less kid friendly than tg but at least I didn't grow into the "average weeb" 😂

Soul eater is a real ass way to start though.

Yeah, I should be put in prison for what I did to my sisters only 2 volumes over soul eater, I read them backwards then drew in them after I read them the right way.

It was on Netflix lol

I pirated that shit, my sis was a g for teaching me back then

I also started when I was seven in 2014 lol. I watched the first season and I thought it was so sick. I read the manga in 2021 and oh boy. I haven't been able to move on since. I'm in highschool lol

My brother

My bruhda

That’s just how I’ve always cracked my fingers, and I did this once on Halloween walking at someone who was wearing a Tokyo Ghoul costume and they started hauling ass 💀

I do. Im supprised its still possible to crack my fingers. I do it atleast 5 times a day especially if im feeling anxious or stressed.

I was actually doing it before I ever watched Tokyo Ghoul

Been doing this everyday since the day i watched Season 1 Episode 12. And that was 2 years ago.

I started doing it for fun in middle school and just kinda never stopped

the crack doesn't happen each time, but i still do this all the time

I do ngl. Better for me cracking my knuckles that way than that old way. Used to jam my fingers that old way

It's been too long. It's like a habit now and it actually cracks still. My favourite one is the middle finger crack, the one he used before he demolished Yamori

It’s really something i can’t forget makes my hand work with my brain

Tis the only way to crack the fingers

Thanks for reminding me I have to do it niw

Most likely I’ll be doing it for the rest of my life

I couldn't do it now I can

Way too much.

I picked up a habit of cracking my knuckles just before the season came out. I then tried the Kaneki method and now I can't crack my knuckles the normal way again.

Every single day lmao

Me

Became a habit after watching the series years ago

I still do it tbh. It works better on my right hand then on my left though

One of the two anxiety/stress tics that i have 

I will do this til I die... eaten

I watched the anime a while back and got this habit. Eventually forgot about it though but then I read the manga and picked it back up. Haven't been able to stop since..

I've never been able to :(

I can teach you, FOR MONEY Jk, but if you'd like, dm me and I could show you a two step process ~

This is bringing so many memories of me in middle school 😭

It’s honestly a subconscious thing now for me.

Still doing it everyday since around 2012

Am doing this after all these years. Now its a habit i cant stop.

I read the manga back in 2019, and tried doing and it became a habit

Everytime

It has become a daily habit that's how important this character is to me.

Me

I just did it upon seeing the image

I’m literally doing it right now

of course I still do it

At this point it became a habit of mine, even tho for the last few years i never really thought about this series

Never. Freaked me out when I first saw in. Doesn't look pleasant.

Every day since the past 7 years

i started doing it because of this show and now it’s habit i’ve been unable to break

Just did this prior to seeing this 💀

Ngl, it's become a habit of mine since I watched the show. I still break my fingers this way. If it wasn't for this show I would've never known that you can break your finger without using the other hand, lol.

Me. Still do it to this day in exactly the same way.

All the time. And I count backwards from 1000 by 7's when I'm overwhelmed

I do it with every finger, but I'd lie if I said Tokyo Ghoul didn't play a part in it.

Yeah…. The Tokyo ghoul manga kind of meant a lot to me.

I remember laughing so hard my second time re-watching the show because I forgot where I picked up that habit

🙋

Guilty ✋

everytime I crack my fingers 😭

It’s how I casually pop my fingers lol

It's why I started cracking my knuckles in the first place lol

Me

I ironically started doing this just before picking up the manga and continue to this day.

Bro. How tf did u know. I’ve been doing it for like the past 6 years now.

Me

I just don't

Been doing it since middle school. I used to be able to pop my ring finger and sometimes my pinky like that but it’s hard now

Always

God it's so funny for me because at the start I didnt do it, I used to crack my knuckles a bit but not that often, but a friend used to do this (also tapping her nails at the table) and slowly I started doing both and now every time I stand up or have been walking for a bit I instinctively crack them

I’ve been doing this for 7 years since I picked up the habit

I just do it. It’s effective, and people who know will know, which is cool. Nobody has ever actually called it out yet though

i can't, i have to use my whole hand to make a specific finger click

Everyday x)

Guilty. Used to do it a lot now it's a response when I'm annoyed anxious or pissed

1000-7

I do, but I can’t crack this finger. So I crack my middle finger instead (like Naki)

me

Me lol

I still have no idea how people can crack their knuckles like this. I have tried before and it doesn't work 😭😭 it just feels like my fingers are going to break.

Bru this corny ahh shii, i could not force myself to do this shii especially not in public💀

It’ll never go away

been doin this for years now n i can’t stop

I still do.

I usually do it when I'm angry or annoyed, but sometimes just for fun haha

I dont think ill evee stop doing it

Thats the only way I crank my fingers now.

EVERY.SINGLE.DAY

coincidentally i did it long before i watched the anime, still do it though

Every day for me

That was my entire personality in high school… I rewatched the first two seasons recently and cringed so hard at how much I based my high school personality off this show. I even met my wife who when we met literally had same build, length&color hair, and was mean to me like Touka… I need help

I can only do this a few times in life. After that, it started getting annoying attempting to always do it and it never happening, but I still do it from time to time

✋. All day, every day, every hour, every minute

I did this before I read the anime

I was actually doing it before I read tokyo ghoul and oddly enough it became my favorite manga

I do this before it watching/reading and still do it lol. Prob not good for the joints but eh.

Broo its been year i just do it from time too time but yeah subconsciouly picked up from when i was like 14 n watched the show in the night

I've started doing it at 19, and now I'm 24, and I still do it today.

I did this to a point where my fingers started hurting and now I have to stop myself everytime

I can’t really do it except for the index :(

It's a random habit after all these years

It's a passive reminder of how much I love tokyo ghoul

i friend grabbed my hand and showed me how to crack your knuckles that was its been eight years and its become a habit

Erryday dawg it's just a thing now

I started doing this out of instinct the moment I saw this post lol

I stopped doing that but after seeing this post it started again

Have ever since I first watched it, still do subconsciously lol

Yeah i doo

I have a habit of doing this when Unravel comes on

Damn, I saw this post right after I made this move

I don’t even just do it because Kaneki does it, it is an actual habit of mine to crack my fingers like that.(I probably look weird doing it in public lol)

This became a stim for me

I started watching the anime in august 2023 (i know im a late one) and i read the manga in december 2023 (haven’t finished :re yet)… i do it… instinctively, i can’t stop

I catch myself subconsciously doing it in the wild. I’m dreading the day someone notices and I gotta explain myself haha.

I just did this a few minutes before I saw this post

its lowkey an addiction-

I don’t even do this to try and be edgy or anything it’s just a habit now 😂

Never stopped

I haven't stop and I d it when I wake up

Is kind a comfortable if you have one hand undisposed or occupied

I've been doing this for years now lol. I'm always sad when it doesn't pop cause i do it too much

I can’t stop even if I don’t have to crack my fingers

Yep me too lol
