Hello sillygurl,

Thats not so bad a habit as biting your fingernails. Just think of all the practice typing you are getting. I don't think its a serious problem unless you feel compelled to do it to relieve some sense of doom or to avert anxiety. Just a weird little thing about you. We all have something peculiar we do.

as long as it doesnt inhibit you, there's no problem. i used to spell things out in my head while i talked. i typed in my head in ways. it's habit. you probably write a lot, so it probably comes from that. i do a lot of html code, and sometimes i find myself imagining something i'm saying in code. take a vaccation and dont write/type anything for a week. then, maybe it will go away for a while. if not, as long as it doesnt inhibit you or block you, there's no outstanding reason to get rid of the problem. once it gets in the way, then you're going to have to learn a technique to keep yourself from doing it.

Answer 3

That is a very unusual habit, I must say. To break any habit you need to change the behavior for 30 days.

Answer 4

it sounds like its just a bad habit. the good news is that you are aware you are doing it. thats a start in the right direction.

Answer 5

Answer 6
