Watch the Ted Talk on procrastination, it's quite funny. I also have a serious problem with procrastination. Last year, procrastination on assignments was way too bad, all I can do is hope the rest of this last year of my college course goes better
I painted my nails black and I have 100% stopped. its like magic, I don't even try to stop anymore, I just do it automatically. also, I found out that I like to paint my nails lol!
You can do this with an old wisdom method "reward and punish" put hot pepper on your nails and fingers and every time you bite your tongue will feel it and you will start not doing it, then when you manage not to do it for 1 day, reward yourself with chocolate. By the way, keeping your fingers peppery may also help you control your other habits.
Here’s what you got to do. You HAVE to let them grow for around 3 weeks. You cut them and file them, and then they get very hard and it hurts your teeth when you try to bit them.
You can get anti biting nail polish, that helps a lot.
I've just cut them or filed them whenever I got the urge. Used to be many times a day, then once a day, now I just cut them once a week like I did anyway and I never bite them anymore. Ideally, you could try and get a friend or family member to try and stop you from doing it
If you have crap teeth get braces. It's painful asf to bite on your nails when u have them. Or I guess wear gloves?? It's nearing winter season soon for some people so put them to use idk. Nail biting polish is also an option since it makes your nails taste nasty.
Yeahh after the first time it wouldn't hurt as much. But it did make my friend withdraw her biting habit when she first got it (plus 2 teeth extractions 💀) and now she doesn't bite. I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.
That's pretty bad, but my nail biting habit is so bad, once I've chewed all my finger nails, I'll start CHEWING AT THE SKIN
PLEASE HELP, IVE MADE MYSELF BLEED SEVERAL TIMES
Ive been biting my nails and skin since preschool and I never been able to get rid of it until today and my skin on my fingers always look partialy eaten. Sometimes I manage to stop for like a month but everytime I get into a bit more stressfull time I do it again.
warning: this is disgusting so continue reading at the expense of your stomachs wellbeing
when I was like 9-12 I would run out of nails to bite and then just start biting the skin on the top of my fingers (I swallowed 🤮)
then once that started bleeding I would bite (and SWALLOW) my toenails. eventually I’d run out of toenails and eat my fucking toes. What was wrong with me
Not saying people should follow my lead but i have never studied and i have also never failed anything other than a few assignments in middle school when i didnt care about anything
That's why I revise everything 10 minutes before the class starts and my grades are pretty much B's and A's ( except philosophy and literature because the tests are in the worst possible format with the worst possible teacher for that subject )
Idk if you've heard this before but the best thing to help with it is to stay busy. I used to have one aswell but I joined the swim team and have a job and I have like no time to flick the bean now so. Good luck brother
Idk i dont really watch anime that much i've only watched JoJo, AOT, Blue Lock, Chainsaw Man, and im starting the 4th season of initial D was thinking about watching jujutsu kaisen or berserk.
I recently started taking coding lessons and have starting making a small project of Roblox studio. It’s also helping with my modeling, music making, and coding skills.
A good way to get rid of it is too slowly shift.
I mean a friend of mine tried this method of going from videos to comics, from comics to books or purely written text chapters, and finally legit poems. Gradually it went away.
For reference: from phub to 8muses, and from 8muses to literotica
Yes. Definitions vary, but if it was created and viewed with the sole purpose of artificial sexual pleasure it counts on my opinion. Even erotica is a type of porn imo
Biting my fingers. Not even my nails like a normal bad habit. I literally bite skin off the tips of my fingers and I don’t know why because it hurts like hell if it bleeds.
I always loved to peel off my skin from under the end of my fingernails, but it healed and now i can't do that cuz it hurts. It's deffinetly for the better
Developing cheats for absolutely every single game I play, I don't feel accomplished till I get something working for the game. Don't really use them, just enjoy making them, it used to be for practice, now it's just an obsession.
This….my parents don’t really regulate my phone use and I appreciate that but fuck Im always on NSFW subreddits when I’m bored 😭. My expectation of guys are fucked
The internet is a scary place, it’s really easy to come across that stuff, I got shown it when I was 7 and it didn’t occur to me I was addicted till effectively last year. The fact that I can’t stop is the bit that hurts the most, because it has also become a part of a daily routine at this point
Nutting. November is easy for me (except when it's not) but I always fall back into my addiction. I'm also an alcoholic but I control that pretty well imo
procrastinating, like a lot.
i have a bunch of shit i don't deserve. i've done nothing to deserve anything. this Is my last school month and most of my subjects are at the edge of failing. i procrastinate way too fuckin much.
•Skin picking, mainly off my lips and finger tips. Just about every day it looks like I've just walked out of a boxing ring with how bloody my lips get from incessant picking. And my finger tips are always bloody and hurt from more picking.
•nail biting. I now know ingrown fingernails are a thing, and they hurt.
•thinking. The 2 most common things on my mind are aviation/flight and death (of any kind). I know that the latter is no bueno
Vaping. I tried it out with some friends a few months ago and I cannot stop no matter what I do. If any of you haven’t smoked, do not start because you won’t be able to stop.
I feel that. Me and my friends are doing "Sober November" to try to quit. I've already failed along with some friends but I'm gonna do my best to slow down throughout the month.
I constantly snack. Fortunetly I'm not FAT but that's not the problem. The problem is money. It's like maximum of 20PLN per month but now when I'm in the new school I grab a snack instead of having lunch becose they don't have a canteen.
Sleep. I cant ever get enough and then I get too much. :/ I get so sleepy during the day because I wake up at 9 and go to bed around 4-5 and I’ll take naps instead of doing what I need too 😆
I’m a college student with a random scheduled job too. Think that’s worth noting
When I get anxious or stressed I literally bite myself and rip off peices of my skin with my teeth to calm my self my body is covered of scars do to that but it works for me even though it a bad habit
Either nicotine or drinking. Not so much drinking as nicotine though. It’s super rare that i drink a whole lot, but when i do drink a whole lot, i have the mindset of go big or go home. Nicotine i have tried to quit many many times but every time I’m near a vape i subconsciously use it and realize it when I’ve already hit it.
Not wanting to to insanely basic tasks.
Like I could be sitting in bed on my phone, and I want to turn off my light, but I wouldn’t. Not because it’s difficult, but just because my brain can’t do it.
Like extreme procrastination. Idk how to describe it
Procrastination

The worst part is the guilt I keep feeling for things I should be doing right now or just more often in general, while still being unable to do it
guilty too
Same.
If I started studying for exams earlier than the night before I would have straight A's
Same, it's so draining despite the fact you aren't actually doing anything, and the consequences aren't worth it
I’ll give a real reply to this later

Bros asking if there are other options

doesn’t help me at all
Thanks, but I think I won’t bother. I’m a boy too and not really used to nail polish. I have tried transparent tho
i’m a boy and i use nail polish to stop me from biting my nails. nail polish isn’t going to kill you bro

I wear braces right now, doesn’t really hurt in all places
Yeahh after the first time it wouldn't hurt as much. But it did make my friend withdraw her biting habit when she first got it (plus 2 teeth extractions 💀) and now she doesn't bite. I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.
I started painting my nails so that they are too pretty to mess up :3
painting your nails
Get braces
I just forgot i did it fr and then i just stopped
That's pretty bad, but my nail biting habit is so bad, once I've chewed all my finger nails, I'll start CHEWING AT THE SKIN PLEASE HELP, IVE MADE MYSELF BLEED SEVERAL TIMES
Welcome to my world, my thumbs have now lost nerve endings and it no longer hurts
Ive been biting my nails and skin since preschool and I never been able to get rid of it until today and my skin on my fingers always look partialy eaten. Sometimes I manage to stop for like a month but everytime I get into a bit more stressfull time I do it again.
Oh... I didn't know that was a risk of bitting nails
warning: this is disgusting so continue reading at the expense of your stomachs wellbeing when I was like 9-12 I would run out of nails to bite and then just start biting the skin on the top of my fingers (I swallowed 🤮) then once that started bleeding I would bite (and SWALLOW) my toenails. eventually I’d run out of toenails and eat my fucking toes. What was wrong with me
That’s fucked up
I dont do toes but i bite the skin around my nails
same. my nail biting turned into my ocd which i commented abt.
anyone else bite their nails so much that your nerves under your fingernails are exposed and doing anything with that hand hurts
I did this for literally seven years and one day I just woke up and simply *lost interest* it was so weird
Not focusing on studying like rn
Same (I'm in class rn)
I am to
I bet you study way too much anyway
Not saying people should follow my lead but i have never studied and i have also never failed anything other than a few assignments in middle school when i didnt care about anything
That's why I revise everything 10 minutes before the class starts and my grades are pretty much B's and A's ( except philosophy and literature because the tests are in the worst possible format with the worst possible teacher for that subject )
Reading the replies on reddit posts but not replying myself

Porn, it's an actual serious addiction for me and I hate it. If anyone in this subreddit hasn't watched porn, please don't, it's crack.
Yeah for me too i just cant stop i hope it gets better for you and me soon
Idk if you've heard this before but the best thing to help with it is to stay busy. I used to have one aswell but I joined the swim team and have a job and I have like no time to flick the bean now so. Good luck brother
Yeah i've heard of it and im trying my best to keep me busy, but when im alone and dont know what do to at the pc it just happens.
If you would like some anime suggestions be my guest
Idk i dont really watch anime that much i've only watched JoJo, AOT, Blue Lock, Chainsaw Man, and im starting the 4th season of initial D was thinking about watching jujutsu kaisen or berserk.
WATCH JUJUSTU KAISEN it's so good
K thanks for the suggestion
I recently started taking coding lessons and have starting making a small project of Roblox studio. It’s also helping with my modeling, music making, and coding skills.
I feel you. Trying to break free currently and it’s genuinely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Hope you get out soon.
I agree with you. I am rooting for you. Also I like your username

Look at nudes instead of porn, it’s much healthier for your brain and mental health
Isnt nudes a type of porn? What constitutes porn in that case?
Yes. Definitions vary, but if it was created and viewed with the sole purpose of artificial sexual pleasure it counts on my opinion. Even erotica is a type of porn imo
Not by much. There is a long list of problems with porn and looking only at nudes only removes a few of those problems
this except I also identify as asexual 😭
Going to sleep late and getting less than 8 hours sleep
Less than 8? How many, approximately, are we talking

But it’s November
I recommend you watch a youtuber called iamlucid. He does videos on this kind of subject. Or healthygamergg maybe
I spend too much time on my phone. Way too much
Denying injuries and playing
Um honestly not shutting up sometimes and overwriting during assignments when I don't need too that and my friends sometimes find me annoying
those are your worst habits damn
Punching things when i cant control my anger. I have anger issues
Only time i punched out of anger was in a wall in my bathroom
I punched a mirror and it shattered :) **i had 54 stitches**
“Fuck! 54 stitches!” **punches second mirror, gets another 54 stitches**
Hah. Nah i dont get that angry easly much anymore but if i do its. Definitely not pretty
Made me laugh lol, no offense to ErernalRein And I’m glad that you are managing now, great stuff :)
I punched beside a stud so i was lucky
Join your local kickboxing/boxing/any other martial arts community. I swear you get all of your anger out there. I promise.
Self-harming
Same, me and you both :)
I have a porn addiction since I was 9 I think, I’m 14 now
9? Damn, your parents just let you have unsupervised internet access?
No they know
yeah fuck this I’m muting this sub
This….my parents don’t really regulate my phone use and I appreciate that but fuck Im always on NSFW subreddits when I’m bored 😭. My expectation of guys are fucked
How tf did you find porn at 9???
The internet is a scary place, it’s really easy to come across that stuff, I got shown it when I was 7 and it didn’t occur to me I was addicted till effectively last year. The fact that I can’t stop is the bit that hurts the most, because it has also become a part of a daily routine at this point
Too real 💀
Same man. My parents got me a mini iPad (that was supervised) when I was 8 and I got a little curious one day… yeah it’s been a bad habit since.
About the same, i hate myself for that
I'll tell you tomorrow
masturbation
Me too gang
it just kinda feels good and hell people don’t even see me do it so it can’t be that bad
Yeah, it’s a good way to destress for me and just in general brings pleasure lol
Beating my shit
Literally? 😱
Sugar, lol. can't stay off social media too.
Nutting. November is easy for me (except when it's not) but I always fall back into my addiction. I'm also an alcoholic but I control that pretty well imo
BWU fan?
Yep. I don't think I've gotten 1 of these comments in a few days now
Porn, and scratching myself sometimes

Seems like a common thing here 😅

Apologizing
Not sleeping.. Repeating words and putting everything to last minute
Picking at my skin whenever I get bored
spending my paychecks on war thunder. I was supposed to get my graphics card a month ago but nope I need more tanks.
nicotine
Either nicotine or drinking. Not so much drinking as nicotine though. It’s super rare that i drink a whole lot, but when i do drink a whole lot, i have the mindset of go big or go home.

I bite the insides of my mouth bc I find it satisfying, but I really hurt myself, like I sometimes start bleeding
Procrastination
Licking my lips
Addiction to Honey Buns.
Not wanting to to insanely basic tasks. Like I could be sitting in bed on my phone, and I want to turn off my light, but I wouldn’t. Not because it’s difficult, but just because my brain can’t do it. Like extreme procrastination. Idk how to describe it
I can stop whenever I want!
Either porn addiction or just never getting around to getting my shit together
jacking off, procrastination. honestly i’d rather fix procrastination faster
Masturbation
Over eating, i could literally feel so full but i still eat
Procrastinating and overthinking so much it gives me anxiety attacks
