My husband has a nervous habit. He twirls a little stick that he makes out of paper between his fingers.. all day! How do I get him to stop??
I know there’s bigger problems in the world & I’m grateful for a great marriage. And, sure, his habit doesn’t cause any serious harm… but it is such a nuisance! He used to do it only when stressed or working hard on his computer. But now he does it all the time.

I’ve talked to him about it and his response is what a typical man would say… leave me alone. Says it makes him feel good and itsnone of my business.

I realize that the purpose of nervous habits is to reduce nervous tension (and perhaps provide some degree of self-stimulation, like nail biting, or when girls twirl their hair) … but it looks horrible and it’s very distracting!! He’s a brilliant, young, wonderful person and having this stupid habit just doesn’t suit him. He is very calm and does not do other things that reflect tension or anxiety.
HOW DO I GET HIM TO STOP

right when u realize it u just tell urself to stop and just find something better to do. like if i start biting my nails i stop and use my hands for anything just to keep busy
