Bad habits while playing?

Has anyone else developed any bad habits while playing that really set you back while learning?
For me, it would be putting my pinky under the neck while playing. I have incredibly long fingers and where other guitarists would have to use their pinky to reach a fret I could often do it with my ring finger so I started doing that. Now that I’m learning more I’m hitting power chords and notes that require 4 fingers and I’m learning I made a horrible mistake.
I’m finally breaking this habit but it really got me curious. Has anyone else here developed similar habits that set them back while learning?
