Sparky

I do this obsessively, since as long as I can remember. It started with just my nails, but if you pick your nails frantically enough you end up "stabbing" the skin around them which leads to dead skin that has to get compulsively removed. My fingers are pretty disgusting, and nothing is worse than working a food service job where you fingers may bleed because you've literally ripped off a large portion of the nail.

I fidget constantly. It adds a added stresser to job interviews when things as basic as a handshake become more complicated because I must hope they don't look at my hands and make an immediate first impression.

I've had multiple exes call my fingers "booty-digger" nails which is unfortunate . I wash my hands as obsessively as anything else so im probably actually more hygienic than many.
