nail biting

Nail biting is mostly linked to periods of nervousness, stress, hunger or boredom. All of these circumstances have in common that they produce anxiety. You may notice that you not only start biting your nails but develop other ticks as well that reinforce your anxiety levels like nose-picking, hair-twisting, or thumb-sucking.
On the other hand, nail biting is also a sign of other mental or emotional disorders, like obsessive compulsion. In this state people are not even aware that they are biting their nails ? not even when they have reached the flesh! Of course these are the most severe cases of nail biting. Other people bite their nails while sleeping as an unconscious habit.
