I am an odd one, Charlie Brown.
I have a habit and it is very odd. I do the following to distract myself from pain, or when I am nervous, or out of force of habit….
1) I take a pen cap off a bic pen, one with the long shaft thing next to the cap that covers the actual pen.
2) I take the shaft part thing (It must have a name, I just don’t know it) and I use it to rub a spot in my hand which I refer to as my stigmata (Hey, I am Jewish and I have a spot almost in the middle of my hand that itches and when I rub it, it feels a lot better. No disrespect meant to any other religious people….I just do not know what else to name the spot on my inner right hand).
3) bow to relief, comfort and I feel much better. I am distracted, I can have spinal taps done with out any pain or distraction from it or any other things that I need to distract myself from.
So, Do you have any nervous habits?
