Are my little subconcious quirks and habbits...normal?!
Question: Are my little subconcious quirks and habbits!.!.!.normal!?
For some odd reason, every time i sit still, my hands decide to do something while my mind is wandering off, not entirely paying attention!.
For example-Whenever I watch tv, i pick at the small plant next to couch, shredding it with my fingernails!.
When i'm in class, i pull apart the plastic of my mechanical pencils, or the eraser!. If it's a pen, the grip usually falls victim!.
At the computer desk, i either tear up sticky notes (which i occasionally and subconsciously organize to look like the shape of a star or a heart) or i pull apart those bars of staples until there is a tiny useless pile of single staples next to me (i'm looking at one right now)!.
If i have nothing, i will either chip away at my nail polish or shamelessly peel at the skin around my thumbs!.
I don't notice I'm doing this until the damage is done, and i am either left writing-untensil less, or scolded for wasting sticky notes/staples and destroying my mothers plants (once i broke a jar handle she had put in place of a plant)!. Or, of course, i have unattractive fingers!.
Is there some psychological reason as to why i'm doing this!? Does anyone else do something like this!? Is this common!? Does anyone know of a way to make myself stop!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not a professional but I think this type of habit is fairly common!. My sister will pick at her skin, she can't leave a scab alone and my father has a bit of that tendency too!. Yours is just a variation of that!. Maybe you can find something to put near your computer that you can pick at but won't leave you writing utensil less!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it sounds like you could have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) which means that you can't stay focused on one thing for very longWww@Answer-Health@Com
