My label insanity!!
Ever since I was a very young child, I have had this compulsion with labels, these are clothing and soft toy labels or tags. I put my finger or toes in the label and sometimes twist it around a bit.
I get this feeling of safety when I do it. Im almost 21, Ive tried to stop before because it can be pretty embarrassing. I lasted 2 days, then I did it without even realising!!
I know it sounds weird, I want to know if this is a common habit. I always wondered why I do it, it would be useful to understand why I do it.
thanks

This is definitely not a common habit, but a lot of us have habits from when we were little that we find hard to break. I, for instance, had the habit of rubbing my hands obsessively on the corners of soft blankets because it gave me a safe feeling. I catch myself doing it now every once in a while. Also, I use to call hair ties "pretties" and I actually thought they were called that until I was in fourth grade. Sometimes, I catch myself calling them that now, but not very often. The point is, a lot of people probably have some weird habit that developed from an early age. Hope I helped.:)
