doing it, which according to Doctor Fred Penzel is common amongst nail bitters. According to Penzel “Some do it in an automatic way, as if they are in a trance and not really thinking about what they are doing” (Penzel, 2008, para. 4) fortunately for me my parents always call me out on it.

everyone has a bad habit, or behavior they wish was different. For me, that is biting my fingernails. Fingernail biting involves raising the fingers, usually one at a time, to the face and then inserting them inside the mouth.

Fingernail biting belongs to a cluster of behaviors called pathological grooming. These behaviors stem off…
