im not sure how many people do (if you do you are stupid) but they are hungry probably

-Actually, the above comment is wrong. People who eat their fingers are not stupid, they aren't hungry and there's a lot of people who do it. It's a stress related issue from many articles I've read online with people who have similar experiences (Like myself). Judging other people because they have this problem is wrong and therefore makes yourself ignorant or otherwise 'stupid'. It can be helped however. The first step is realizing when you do it the most, such as when you get into arguments with people, job related stress, money, family etc. Once you catch when your mind triggers the need for it, try to do something that'll take your mind off of eating your skin. Put your hands under your legs, grab some gum and pop it in. If it's severe enough that you cant, put on gloves or something that'll protect the area being harmed or affected. You'll notice right away when you're nervous and you're trying to chew on cloth. Make an effort to work on it every day and soon you'll be out of the habit and into beautiful skin. It's hard to over come but it is possible with enough will power.
