[quote=Anonymous]I sucked my thumb until I was 7. Gnawed on my nails constantly until college and chewed pen caps into splinters. Also loved to chew ice. All pretty much stopped by mid-20s. (Though to this day if I break a nail I will happily attack it and chew it down to a nub. Then I forget about it and it grows back.) I never smoked though. I had a happy, secure childhood and wasn't particularly anxious. However, the family lore is that I started sucking my thumb when my brother was born, when I was 16 months old, so maybe it was borne of insecurity/unhappiness. Regardless, I was a pretty happy kid with good self-esteem, and I'd say that's true in adulthood, too. I've never heard that there was any association between nail biting and molesting, wtf?[/quote]
