| Bad Habits Are Hard to Break |
I used to have a bad habit of nail biting when I was young, but once I got to college it stopped and I would only bite them when I got stressed or nervous. My nails grow really long and people are envious because I don't stylize them or anything. They go 'if I had nails like that I'd polish them, blah, blah'
I don't even put clear polish on them. I don't go to the nail salon and I only put cuticle oil on them when my sister give it to me. In short, I do nothing to my nails except not bite them and let them grow. I HATE fake nails. I can't stand them on my fingers. I got them for Prom and couldn't get them off fast enough. Never again.
The reason for this 'bad habit' post is because I do something that I don't if it's a bad habit or I'm a closet narcissist or what, but I seem to always turn a conversation about me and I don't realize I'm doing it until a little later or sometimes in the middle of the conversation then I feel bad.
Like if someone said, 'I had to spend $1,000 on a plumbing emergency' Then I'll start talking about something similar that happened to me. I didn't think about it until a friend from work was telling me something and I kept trying to tell my similar story and she said 'wait, I'm not finished' then I felt bad.
I'm trying to just ask questions and keep the story/topic on them instead of somehow turning it onto me, but it seems to be hard. And this is even funnier because I don't like the spotlight on me no way, no how. I'm comfortable yaking with close friends and relatives, but with people I hardly know I'm a mouse. Maybe this is why I keep butting in, I'm too comfortable talking. But it's not a good thing, I don't think.
Sometimes it works when you have to say what happened to you in order to help someone make a decision or something, but usually I feel it's just making the conversation about me which are not my intentions.
Okay, I'm gonna shut up now and let you guys talk. ;D
P.S. I missed you guys, hope all of you are well! I did a little blog stalking, nice to check in with you. Have a great weekend! |

I have this habit of adding to the conversation and talking about what happened to me as well. But then at the end I say, "Oh, I am sorry, go ahead you were saying?" or "Oops, we were not talking about me....go ahead"
Usually when you apologize, people appreciate it and finish their story while I try to keep my mouth shut for the rest of the time.
Hope this helps.
Oh, I never do anything with my nails either....my mother is always filing hers and I cannot stand the feeling of filing so I let them grow and them cut them all down when they start to annoy me.

yep...we all do it GG....you know that song " I wanna talk about me"....lol...well I wanna talk about me..dont worry about it. Just tell that girl you will listen to her when your done talking about yourself! lol
I cant stand fake fingernails either, but I cant grow mine long either. I love long nails, but I dont have them.
Hope you run into Apollo this week!

it is your blog, your thoughts, your room to vent and express yourself. nothing wrong with that. don't worry.
i have always bitten my nails, since i was a toddler my mom said. it was and always has been a way to handle stress and insecurities..
but i finally got something that works, i get my nails done every 2 wks and i love the way they look, gel overlay and guess who likes the look better?
hope your work wk goes as well as possible.
