When I get stressed out I pick my skin trying to correct every imperfection and only succeed at making it worse. It's better than the trichotillomania I had when I was about 13 or 14 where I pulled out half of my eyebrow hair... I've found that obsessive compulsive disorder never really gets cured, the compulsions only transfer to something hopefully more healthy.
What's a bad habit you can't seem to break?

I think my skin biting is related to picking and hair pulling as an obsessive compulsive disorder as well. I try to even out the skin by biting it off when in reality it would be most even and perfect if I just didn't bite it at all in the first place. 
fuck you and your dumb ideas, brain.
I knew a girl in middle school who pulled out all her eyelashes. Everyone treated her like a freak but now that I look back I realize she probably had something similar to what I have.

I'm the worst scab picker ever. I just hate the feeling of rough patches of skin so I always end up pulling them off. I also constantly peel off the dead skin on my lips because I'm too lazy to invest in a lip exfoliator.

Same here, I do this all the time when I'm sitting at the computer at home. It gets gross when I need to go out and try to apply lipstick, and it's all patchy 
and bone-cracking. Back, neck, knees, shoulders, fingers, toes, elbows, and jaw.
This isn't really bad for you, though? 
It just sounds scary. It's painful for me personally, I hate when people try to crack my fingers.

I always bite my fingernails. I could break the habit if I tried I suppose, but I've yet to do so.
