[quote=Anonymous]I sucked my thumb until I was 10 and bit my nails until my late 20s. Quit nail biting cold turkey when I got engaged - people kept asking me to show them the ring and I kept making a fist to do it. I was a violin player throughout childhood and college, so having short nails was kind of part of the deal and I never had an incentive to quit before that. I still chew pen caps to smithereens. Like other PPs, I'm not a particularly anxious person and did not have a problematic childhood. I have two kids, one of whom never picked up any of those habits, and the other of whom was a thumb-sucker until almost 4 and is a chronic nail biter. I am trying to get her to stop because she bites them so far down that I worry about infection. But she's not an anxious kid either![/quote]
