Do you have any nervous habits?

I've been trying to break the jaw clenching habit for a while now but having a hell of a time with it. I've resorted to sticking things between my teeth to chew on so it's at least not my teeth grinding. I've crushed so many toothpicks into splinters today. X_X

I laugh when I'm nervous. Like a hysterical hyena

@UndeadPrivateer 😂 oh no

My dad used to grind his teeth a lot or clench them, I bought him a gum shield as much as he hated it it helped him eating the insides of his mouth out lol and forced him to stop eventually. It took nearly 2 years

@Gangstress Yeah, I'm hoping I can break the habit. I've only really noticed it in the past handful of months. First time I noticed I didn't even realize I was doing it, just that my jaw felt really tired and sore and then realized it was clenched tight.

@UndeadPrivateer ah mate,as hard as it is,try and stop yourself from doing it. You'll end up with lock jaw

Jaw clenching? Never heard of that one before.
I bite my nails which sucks because I also paint my nails.... and I scratch my head which sucks because I have dandruff
