Me too but that proves to be difficult sometimes.

Same here, and that makes it hard to move on.

Thats me for sure. How to stop? Sigh

Feeling self conscious at work.

Picking at my lips. Sometimes I pull off large pieces. I think it's a nervous thing.

I'm trying to give up the habit of isolating myself when my mind gets worse. I am also trying not to return to behaviors that I have already managed to leave behind. It is a process, but I keep trying one day at a time.
I'm trying to quit smoking.

I used to do that. Eventually there was a spot which was the dermatologist cauterzied to stop it from bleeding. There's a small scar.

Yes, I have to stop. I have been doing it since childhood. It's not good at all.

I hope you're able to end it without trouble. For me it was impossible to stop without switching to a different, slight less bad habit.

Picking at my scalp. I've been trying to use fidget toys instead.

Being poor at receiving criticism. Or at least þinking about it instead of choosing close-mindedness and immediate anger.

I understand how hard that can be to handle at times. I don't mind constructive criticism, but I hate when it's something mean spirited (like people who said my stories are the worst ever and stuff like that).

Nn. I hear you. I'm sorry you've been victim of that.

I for one however react badly even to legitimate, good-faith feedback

Yeah, I've been treated badly by people throughout my life, so I feel I should be used to it by now, but it can still be hard to deal with.

Taking things personally. About anything. It's a mental state of mind I'm trying to completely release. It's work but it feels good to be doing it.
