Hi - I'm a hair twirler. I am 32 now - I've been a twirler since the age of 2. My mom tried her best to make me stop but was never successful. Usually I twirl when I read or watch TV at home - but I seem to be twirling more and more often of late - and in all types of places, including the office.

This is now negatively affecting my career - I find myself in business meetings, twirling away - and all the other people at the table are staring at me, instead of focusing on the meeting. I don't even realize that I'm doing it!

When coworkers walk by my desk, the first thing they notice is that I'm twirling - usually while concentrating on computer work, but pretty much all the time!

It drives my husband crazy - but his mom was a twirler too, so he's a little more used to it than other people.

I am not a hair puller - I don't pull out my hair - but I am really having trouble stopping the twirling. Any advice?
