Nail Biting Thoughts From Anon

(This is for everyone especially the person who wrote about their OCD thoughts, but I'm just getting my thoughts out, not trying to hurt anybody in anyway. It's just a reminder about people and decisions. Thanks for reading.)

It's not even a bad habit. People who have anxiety, like me, tend to bite their nails in time of frustration, worry, nervousness, or distress. (Which is very frequent)

Sadly, my nails used to be badly bitten to the cuticle, but I have stopped bitting my nails for a whole year and since then they've regrown.

They look normal and I think they are beautiful. I can now actually clip and cut my nails to trim them instead of biting. I can even paint them anyway I want to.

What I'm saying is people have their reasons. Gross or not, it's something you need to respect, even if you disagree. Like religion, you don't go around bashing other beliefs just because you don't follow that religion- you should respect it.

Like, what if I hated your insecurities, and I made fun of your disabilities/weaknesses. It would be somewhat cruel. Just respect people.

For some of us, nail bitting is so severe because we are insecure and it is a side effect of anxiety (in some people). Other people do bite their nails when they desire just beacuse they want to- what do you do about that?

Respect it. You respect it, okay? Respect it, for some people it's not a choice. I respect your disbillity, even though I don't like how it affects you and what it makes you do, I would never just straight up say it's a dumb or stupid thing or disrespect it in anyway.

Just don't judge people, because we all have problems of our own.
