Spending way more time reading BoredPanda than I should!
Me after reading this: *slowly looks over at clock, realizing i've been here for 2 hours...*
Can’t help you there, I suffer from the same affliction. It’s 2.45 in the am times
Lol! I always go to Bored Panda when I get the chance... shoot it's time for class.
Eating too much.
Eat more healthy water based foods. A bowl of grapes will fill you up more than a bag of chips.
Oh, I do eat healthy, but I struggle with BED (Binge Eating Disorder). I have lost 42 pounds on Weight Watchers, and I'm still working on my Goal (18 pounds to go). :-)

Wait at least 10-15 minutes after eating to give yourself time to digest. If it's related too something mental then I don't know how to help
I tend to start too many projects all at once then have trouble finishing any of them.
omg yes I have 1 blanket that i have started crocheting, one hat, a lot of scarfs, and so, so, so many half done drawings.
i havent had that problem but maybe a solution would be work on them all a little every day
No, that doesn't help. The best is to pick on and force yourself to stick with that until you complete it. You can't stay focussed on several things at once.
Load More Replies...After a while a project can get boring and then you lose interest. If there is no deadline on them, then why not do them in your own time. Example, supposing i have multi skills in certain work. My job is a painter and decorator if i get fed up with doing this job i find something else like carpenter, brick layer.... Its good to have a change.
Same, I have a puzzle I need to finish, a skirt, a dress, and a hat I need to finish sewing, I haven't played my sax in forever, and I have so many little DIY projects that I start but never finish.
Not to bite the inside of my lips-
started doing it a couple of years ago... once i left a raw, red spot that really hurt for the next couple days. I still do it, but the raw skin hasn't happened since.
Smoking. I'm now in the twilight zone. Didn't quite quit, but don't smoke as much as before. I chew nicotine gum to help myself.
You can do it! The benefits are so worth it, like being able to taste and smell things you never realized slowly went away after you starting smoking.
Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm trying to stop procrastinate online school, and so far, Bored Panda is NOT helping.
It helps when the subject interests you. That is the only way I am getting it done. I know uninteresting classes are necessary for your degree but maybe start with the ones you like. Then after it's a habit, work on the boring ones.
I'm trying to stop being negative. It's very difficult though
From my working experience i know it can be hard. Think about something funny. Comedy takes a lot of weight of me whenever there is one. Also if you keep feeling negative, talk to someone and let them help you see the positive side.
I noticed that you comment a lot more on the “Ask” articles or when someone seems down. I think it’s very sweet of you to make that time, or to direct them to other resources. You are a lot more patient and considerate, and it’s very refreshing because I’ve come across other types of comments. The latter is even worse to stomach because they kick people when they’re already down.
Load More Replies...It might sound a bit up in the air. But research has shown that it actually helps to seek for things you are grateful for. If you make it a habit by keeping a gratitude journal and challenging yourself to write down 3 things everyday, after a while you will start paying more attention throughout the day to the good stuff. Even on hard days you will find there are things, a certain family member, or friend, seeing something beautiful on your walk home, something you did for someone that made you feel good, having a nice meal,... Anyways, good luck to you, it is a life changer if you look at things more positively.
There is balance to everything in our lives.. just because you see things negatively at any given point doesn't mean you are negative. If the negative is balanced by the positive it ain't no thang!
At be try something you like, drawing, cooking or talking to people. I write on wattpad, draw, cook, everything except talk to people. I need to try and do that
What makes it seem like a joke to you? It seems entirely sincere to me...
Load More Replies...Allowing small conflicts to subsume every waking moment of my life until I receive some form of vindication or relief. Oh and alcohol, I come from a long line of drinkers. The British.
Normally i finish work and after a day of drinking constant tea i like to chill and have a few beers. I havent had a beer this week and it dont even bother me. im only going to drink at the weekend. Good luck to you though
Cheers man. Especially given this pandemic, I'm prone to justify my bad habits with excuse that I shouldn't put pressure on myself during such stressful times.
Load More Replies...Long line of drinkers? British tend to drink tea or coffee then alcohol
thinking that i cant ask for help. i don't like to ask for help because i don't want to bother someone that might not care about my problems
Oof same except you have a slightly different reasoning, mine is less good-person-ish but oh well. I get embarrased to ask for help because 1) idrk how, I always knew how to do everything and didnt need help with anything because i was ahead of everyone in school, but now i'm in different classes and I dont really know how to ask for help. 2) i always feel like i shouldnt need help and i'll just sound stupid (pretty much also cause i've never really needed help in the past)
same i was a gifted student and then i wasn't ahead of anyone anymore and now i can't ask for help
Load More Replies...I'm the same. I like to help people but i don't know why, i just don't like to ask for it.
I have a similar situation, I don't want to ask questions because they make me fe stupid or embarrassed. I can't even ask my teachers for help cuz I'm embarrassed. Idk why
Be assured that your teachers want to see you succeed, and asking questions is a good way to do that. If you can’t speak up in class, ask them afterwards when the other students are filing out.
Load More Replies...Think about this- people (some) WANT to help. Give people the gift/opportunity to help. What’s the absolute worst thing that could happen? They say no. So what? If you’re anxious about that possibility (social anxiety, anyone?), ask someone you KNOW can’t (or won’t) help. Kind of a controlled rejection. What if you ask them if they or someone they know can help? Or just ask for ideas on where to go for help... Good luck!
I procrastinate a lot and get lazy in online school. Listening to music usually helps but here I am on BoredPanda so THIS IS AN EXCEPTION OK-
i always procrastinateeeeeee. im actually supposed to be in online school, doing hw rn, but im not (hehe)
I have the same problem, I simply can focus on what the teachers are saying
Load More Replies...Omg me too. I guess we are just gonna get crap grades and not get into that school my parents are counting on me getting into... oh well!
I’m Tom gong I’m literally supposed to be in school now but....
Load More Replies...Procrastination is one of the worsts things I do. I've tried to curb it for years and still fall back into that habit. If you figure out how to do it and it sticks post it here, cause I wanna see how you do it!
Sooo.... can’t help you with the procrastination, but don’t worry about perfect grades right now. Do your best with what you can. A lot of schools and teachers understand that it’s extremely hard right now. That said, it’s a good time to work on your organization skills. YouTube has some good videos to help you.
getting into arguments with adults, using actual facts, and getting "what do you know, you're only a kid" pulled on me
Oof my parents do something similar. For example: when they tell me something (such as point out i broke a rule), i say something back that actually makes sense(point out they have never once followed the rule, so why should i have to), and they're like, "Because I'm an adult, and You're a child." Sorry yes, let me go get my age-picking device real quick and reset my birth year to 2002.
They don't want to know the actual facts. They are playing the superiority card and you take it every time. Just accept you will never win with them and get satisfaction from knowing you are smarter.
Speaking as almost 60 here; Stupid people stay stupid all their lives, age does guarantee wisdom. Sometimes a child can speak more wisely than anyone. As long as your facts are NOT coming from Qanon or the Bible or the Koran, stick to your guns. Otherwise STFU. Sometimes it takes a decade or two to learn your parents/elder WERE actually right. "Because I said so" is sometimes just code for "I'm too tired to deal right now" HTH
same. I also hate when you have a valid suggestion or complaint and adults just blow it off and act like it never happened.
Load More Replies...I constantly get into arguments with adults... and it doesn't help that I'm a sarcastic smartass who does not know when to quit lol
Such an egotistical argument that has nothing to do with the subject at hand- know that when someone says that they’re just trying to shut you down and have run out of things to say- same as what do you know you’re just a _______ fill in the blank with literally anything- it’s not a valid point
Not wanting to work out. I have to bribe myself, and then not pay up.
Totally understandable... me too! I just take a walk, it’s easier than the gym.
A walk isn’t gonna get me where I wanna get though. I do that too.
Load More Replies...One thing that has been working for me is watching a show while on the treadmill or elliptical. Like for me I love the show the Expanse, and i promised myself I would not watch it unless I am doing cardio.
I do the same thing! I Also read books on Kindle. Although my husband noted one time I was just sitting on the stationary bike, not pedaling anymore... just reading.
Load More Replies...Thanks mate, appreciate it
Load More Replies...Same! I would be like if I workout ill go buy that candy bar or something, but I just lay down and don't want to move. What I do is get ready and then start walking towards what I'm going to do because by the time I get there I think I might as well do it if I'm already here!
I eat a bit of dark chocolate before a workout. You’re doing better than me. I’ve actually left the parking lot of the gyms multiple times.
Load More Replies...“Hey, me, I got a deal for you. If we finish this workout, we’ll go to Chick-fil-A and get a shake.” *Later that day* “Wtf? You promised us a shake!” “Dude, come on now, did you actually believe me? Again? We’re trying to get our ass in shape.”
Load More Replies...Yep, I do. That’s usually what gets me out of the house.
Load More Replies...Do you actually like the sport you chose to work out? Maybe you can experiment on trying to make the working out more fun in itself? Trying another sport, doing it with a friend, rewarding yourself with good music or your favourite (audio)book in the gym? Good luck to you!
Yep. I’m a football player (American) and fencer, and I really enjoy both sports. They’re the reasons why I’m as active as I am.
Load More Replies...I bite my cuticles... it’s really bad. Sometimes it’s so bad my fingers are all swollen and bloody. I’m scared it’ll get infected...
I used to do that & I got paronychia, which is where your nail bed gets infected. I recommend you stop because it SUCKED. My finger was constantly hurting & it's all green/purple/red & it's super bloody & full of pus. It's gross. Also, usually there isn't a spot where the pus can come out (there was for me idk why) and if there isn't, they have to lance it (poke a small hole in it with a needle). It's not fun. If you want to see some visuals just look up "paronychia". *DISCLAIMER* you probably don't want to look it up because it's gross, but it's there just in case *DISCLAIMER*
Thank you I needed this to stop
Load More Replies...I’m going to buy nail varnish and cuticle conditioning cream to help. Wish me luck! :)
Get something that you really hate the taste of and put it on your nails like nail varnish. Never tried it myself but hey worth a try
Why don’t you use a special massage or coconut oil and give yourself hand massages focusing on the cuticle. Push it back gently and condition with the oil, over time it grows back slower and smoother...less skin to latch on. *if it’s anxiety or too much energy, I recommend you try dancing or shadow boxing. You can get infections from biting your cuticles. The germs from your mouth, the germs already on your hand, or germs from another surface can invade the body through openings in the skin.
Very detailed thanks
Load More Replies...lol i had this too but i got Invisalign so i cant bite anything with them on and i only take them out to eat
try putting nail polish that is means for not biting your nails over it, maybe. the bad taste might get you to stop.
Getting more birds! Whenever I see a bird that needs help... I get it right away! My house is now full with all them feathery friends that come from all kinds of bad situations. I love doing it.. But I need to stop it! My wallet cant take it anymore :S
You should create a program/ charity where you rescue birds in need, then release them after they get the care they need in a local park.
There are many people who showcase their rescues and ask for donations!! I donate to 2 rescues across the world!
Biting my nails
omg yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssss ive been tryna stop for yearssssss
Gum. I struggle with this and when I have gum with me, it helps.
i've given up on this, i saw a video that said all the bacteria you end up eating helps your immune system so i just said wth
Cut it short and smooth it out with an emery or glass file. Eventually you’ll go awhile without biting, and could then let it grow.
That’s a good idea but we tried the nail polish that tastes bad and I got used to it. Also, I do it if I am bored or stressed. I think it’s better because of corona, I try not to touch my face as much. But, pence they are short, I will bite them even shorter

Then you want to hide yourself right? Even the kind, good deeds you do for others, it’s hard to take a compliment. You can’t just be yourself without someone making you doubt everything you do.
I do a lot of good deeds and i HATE it when someone compliments me on my work. I appreciate it but Its embarrassing! My missus is going through the menopause and when she is in one of those moods she is like the exorcist. She could be happy one minute then a split second BANG thats it. Total transformation.

Playing with my nails and barely eating anything. I know I should be eating more but my meds make me lose my appetite sometimes.
Some days I forget to eat, and the longer I go irregularly or eating too little... I feel weaker and can’t think straight. I just make sure there are snacks around and move to stimulate my appetite. ***if you mean pulling at the cuticle and ripping the nails, you could replace that with hand massages. If you’re painting and decorating it, then it could be a creative hobby.
At least have a bowl of cereal in the mornings with your first cup. Do that for a couple of weeks it will soon become an habit of routine.
Load More Replies...Bitting my nails. I've done it my whole life. It's gotten bad enough that I have minor nerve damage in my fingertips. They are just little nubs (some less than a millimeter). They bleed and swell and get infected easily. I really hate my hands because of it and have tried just about every possible solution on the internet. Nothing works.
your nails are just nubs or your fingers are just nubs? after reading this i just NEED to stop biting my nails, but i get stressed and then you know the rest.
I was a nail biter my whole life (but never below the quick...too gross and too painful), and then when I left home, I just stopped. However, I don’t let them get too long because they just get in the way, and instead of using clippers, I just bite them down to the perfect size...I’m now really good at biting AND not biting them. Ta Da!
Maybe put something very bad tasting or spicy on your nails? I don't know what else
Sitting up straight. I never used to before COVID, but being stuck at a computer all day is taking its toll.

Whenever you want to smoke, just rub your arm.
Load More Replies...Hey Saesha, you seem to be doing great. Maybe leave the smoking for a later stage, so you can put your energy in one thing. It helps if you don't t ask too much of yourself. Quitting any kind of habit asks a lot of brainpower. Don't exhaust yourself! Take the time out to be proud of yourself, that you are here and fighting, and that this time, you didn't do it. Also, for some people it helps to have a standard alternative behaviour, like shooting rubber bands, going for a run or drawing on yourself, After a while you make new roads in your head, making the new behaviour more likely. Every repetition, every good day counts, in making it the road more travelled. You got this, I believe in you!
I did live with someone who cut himself, she lost a leg a few years ago at attempet suiced. Get help. Get into touch with your senses. Love yourself and find your unique genuine strength. Good luck!
Procrastinating. Eating when I'm stressed. Spending too much time on the internet.
glad to know i'm not the only one haha
Load More Replies...Eating because I am bored and refusing to work out. Not the best combo.
I eat grapes or chew gum when i know im not hungry but want food, and i do a fun workout like playing justdance or something.
Maybe walk or cycle instead of working out. Both are more enjoyable and easier to do. Even try a treadmill if you want
I can't believe no-one has listed online shopping! "Therapist: Now what do we do when we are sad? Me: "Add to cart?" Therapist: No"* Who can resist knowing a package will arrive?! Instant 2 minute excitement! Better than Lottery because you ALWAYS win! *souce: Pinterest, uploaded by Patty Matt

Cracking my knuckles when I'm either stressed or deep in thought. My joints actually strain and hurt after to the point where I can't use a pencil or type.
Making dark jokes. It seems like I'm looking for attention but I used to do it when I was miserable and now that my life is okay I need to stop it.
try 'dad jokes' instead. that would be hilarious because everyone is expecting something dark and then you say something cheesy.
thats hilarious thank you so much
Load More Replies...Here's my view on this as someone who has depression and as someone who is a medical professional as well as a military veteran: dark humor is a coping mechanism (and a good one too) because it takes what could be a traumatic experience and rewires the mind into thinking of it as an accessory event and not as big of a deal as without it. That's why medical staff, first responders, military servicemembers, etc. all seem to have a dark sense of humor. It helps us continue on when other people might have a serious breakdown. I will say that you do need the right audience though.
Habits are hard to break. Try starting your internal dialogue to edit yourself. Also if you wait a beat or two before responding often times the window to comment has closed.
thats really smart actually

Always checking if I've dropped something. Regardless of how many times that I’ve checked my pockets, I always think I've dropped something. Yes, it's tiring.

I'm a workaholic. I would work all the time I can and I just get into this rhythm and leave little at home time or free time. I know what you mean
I can easily spend 12h at work on a normal day. It's bad because it's sometimes my refuge, if i have a bad day or fight with someone i stay and work, work, work. Not sure if it's my coping mechanism or just my exit. Important people in my life have complained that they don't see me anymore, but i can't help it. Makes me forget about personal stuff and i just focus on one task and it feels like meditation. It's not like I'm getting paid for this overtime, so it's ridiculous really

Hey you, I hope that in this new year you find it in yourself to speak to yourself, as you would do to a friend. You are not the enemy, so don't treat yourself that way. Speak to yourself with love, and forgiveness, you are doing your best. What your best is, just depends on the day, some days it might just be getting out of bed, other days it might be going out, enjoying life, working hard towards your goals. But it might take the same amount of energy. And energy is finite,
Since COVID, I WFH and my classes are online too. I can’t seem to unplug at the end of the day. Bored Panda gets my mind off the chaos though.
Bathing at 5 o' clock
I like to bathe right before I go to bed—it’s so easy to fall asleep afterwards. The only real drawback is that I fall asleep with my hair in a towel and then it looks funky the next day...good thing I know how to do French braids!
Picking at my pimples and scabs.
Omgggggg my skin is totally breaking out ALL THE TIME but I pick at everything. And I mean everything
Using less f*ckin' swear words, because that's not f****n' helping a shitty situation getting better. Oooh crap, did it again...
Studies have shown that people who swear more often than is considered "polite" are actually very intelligent. So, on that note, quit f****n' worrying and go use that big, cuss- laden brain of yours.
I didn't wanna brag about it, but hey f*ck it... Intelligen...c5-png.jpg
Apparently, when you swear because you've hurt yourself, it helps you deal with the pain.
Lol my kids made me do a swear jar. It works. My cursing has gotten hella mild and sparse in just a few weeks. Also my kids are rich now. Each word you catch yourself in put a dollar or IOU in a jar then pay someone around you or save it for yourself later after you stop cussing

Pacing around my room constantly, humming random stuff, grinding my teeth, and fidgeting like it's nobody's business. I'm starting to get blisters, enduring constant scolding from the dentist, and my muscles are always tired from the endless small movements. And the humming? It's just annoying. XD
Find the root of your stress. Also bruxism (grinding) and restlessness/fidgeting can be a result of neck alignment problems. Consider seeing a chiropractor, especially if this is happening when you sleep or is accompanied by headaches
I grind my teeth; my dentist ALWAYS brings it up whenever I see him. I can't help it, I do it during my sleep.
I used to grind my teeth and at the advice of my dentist I wore a mouth guard (it takes a week or so to get used to them and for your gums to not get annoyed and is so worth it), but once I stopped working at a place with free soda, I stopped grinding them...it turned out I was just having caffeine too late in the day.

when shopping or sorting through things, look at it and ask yourself "do i REALLY need this? do i want this? will i use it? does someone else have something like it i could borrow? does someone else need it, or could i donate it? " things like that.
Yes, I'm trying to use this technique.. Also, make a shopping list and stick to it.

Not exactly a habit, but im trying to be cleaner. i just cleaned my room, office and bathroom, and im trying to make a habit where i sub-consciously do things like pick up shoes and trash on the floor. Good habit, but it gets tiring when you've vacuumed your office for the fourth day in a row :D
I've picked up this habit, as well. In time, it's no longer tiring and for me, it helps keep my mind "quiet".
settling into a negative emotion when I'm tired :/
Yes, i have this too!! I mean, i know that the negative thoughts come mostly because i'm tired, but sometimes, i just become so overwhelmed by them that i can't see that very well. Some days ago though, i watched this video, and it helped me a lot, so maybe it can help you too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks-_Mh1QhMc. I tried standing in a powerful pose for 2 minutes when i was tired (like hands on your hips, feet firm on the ground, upright posture) and it really helped my mind to 'reset' (watch the video for more details). Also, talking to yourself like you would talk to a friend (if your negative emotions are directed to yourself, and not to others, of course). If you say it enough to yourself: i'm enough, i can do this, i'm worthy to be loved, making mistakes is okay.. then you will believe it eventually. I hope this helped you a bit, and i wish you the best!
unhealthy eating habits. I fuel my body with low calorie energy drink throughout the day and only eat on real meal when I'm home from work.
You can try some grapes, if you like it. Water based foods fill you up more so you do not want to eat for the rest of the day.
but my goal is to eat 2 -3 healthy meals a day... Not finding alternatives to energy drinks

Make a paste of baking soda (NOT baking powder) and water and put it on the bite. You only need to resist for a minute or so and then the baking soda takes the itchiness away.
Overeating, especially crisps (chips) and chocolate.
Chocolate at least has some medicinal aspects to it, but the crisps are just straight-up bad, bad, bad.

Compulsive Lying... I'm 12-13 I've had this problem since I learned how to talk nothing helps
