Nervous habit.

[Agent P]

So lately, my mother has been on my arse about this. I have a bad habit of peeling the skin off of my feet. When I get nervous or anything, and a lot of the time I don't even realise that I'm doing it.

My mother, being a nurse and worry freak, keeps pushing that I'll get gangrene and end up without feet at all. Anyway, you can imagine that it's starting to poke at my mind whenever I realise that I'm doing it. I've been attempting to keep socks on all the time, though that's really feasible for me considering I never wear socks. (or shoes for that matter, only when I absolutely have to.)

I suppose I'm just looking for ways to avoid it or things to do when I realise I'm beginning to do it. 'Cause, you know, I do kind of need my feet.

Find something else to do with your hands, to keep them busy, that way you can;t pick at your feet. Maybe play a hand hekd electronic game, or play with beads or something like that or with playdough. Yay! All these fun things you can do. Just use your imagination kid.

^ It's not technically dead skin. I don't want to get triggery, so I'll leave it at that.

Thank you both for the advice.

Ohh sorry but doent it really hrt when you "accidently" pulling off the good skin? Ouch!

[Agent P]

I don't accidentally do it. I'm consciously aware that I'm doing it, but I do it out of habit more than anything now.

I do that actually peeling the sking in my toes, I also tend to cut real short my toe nail and nails in general, it's just that when I've got nothing to do, my mind drift to it and I start doing it. I think maybe you could tray to maintain as busy as posible so you don't remeber to.
