Do you ever consciously, consistently not do something that you know is important?

I don’t know if I’m being self-destructive, or what… but I seem to have this aversion to taking proper care of my teeth. Sure, I brush 2–3 times a day, and rinse with Listerine once a day. But I can NOT seem to make myself floss. I usually do well with flossing daily for 2 months after the dentist, but then it turns into nearly dreading the act of flossing. I don’t know why. I know I have bad teeth, significant bone loss and whatnot (we were poor when I was growing up, no dental insurance, so when I did go, I saw really shitty dentists), but I can NOT make myself floss, even though I know it’s really important because of the damage done over the years in my mouth.

And consequently, that makes me put off going to the dentist for my cleanings. So that’s two things I’m willfully not doing even though I know it’s really important.

this is sort of based of Daloon’s question about making bad decisions, but instead of doing things you know are wrong, I’m asking specifically about things you don’t do that you know you should.
