Owning a car. I want to walk in a city made for people. I can’t afford to move.
This isn’t a personal habit but flying. If I could never ever in my life ever have to go through a stupid security theater checkpoint at an airport and then board a plane and sit like a sardine for hours on end…
Too bad I live in public transit shithole USA
Being depressed.
Same. I got kicked out of a therapy group for the self-destructive today, fifth time something like this happened based on rumors that made people in charge think “we make a living encouraging people to be satisfied with life, but this woman doesn’t deserve it.”
Opening Instagram instead of Lemmy or Mastodon :(
Pro tip: delete the app on your phone. Needing to put in the website into the browser breaks the misscle memory and you can then easier replace it with something else.
Eating out of stress or boredom instead of when I’m actually hungry. I am getting better, but still, sometimes work pisses me off so much it’s back to angrily stuffing whatever food I have on hand into my gaping maw…
Working “full time”. I love what I actually do at work (generally) but like… doing it 9-6 five days a week is so fucking draining. It feels like working defined hours for the sake of working in those hours. Obviously for most jobs the hours spent working do matter, but for software development it may actually be counterproductive as being tired fucks up your productivity hard
All those dang tiny time wasters that happen every day. Needing to eat and drink… That kind of stuff. Can’t stop because I obviously enjoy being healthy.
Me: I wish I could stop paying taxes. Genie: poof Wish granted! Me: Woah…I don’t feel so good! Genie: It’s a fatal heart attack.
I would love to stop having, not sure if they would technically be termed as flashbacks or PTSD-related anxiety attacks, but either way if those came with an off button that would be great.
Upside: sometimes my smart watch thinks I did an hour of exercise while I’m actually just sitting there with a heart rate of 120+ and it congratulates me 🥰
If that doesn’t count because it’s something I can’t really control, then probably picking at my cuticles. Bad habit I’ve had since I was a toddler that I’ve never been able to fully kick.
