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

@Gangstress Could it be used in an intimidating manner like on the frontlines as you mow people down? :?

@UndeadPrivateer for example, if I was sending you a voice message after every word youd more than likely here a giggle or two or me going erm because I like ya

If I giggle in a work situation it means I'm plotting someones death

@Gangstress I will have to figure out an amusing message to assign you with reading. :?

@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
