Most of us see nail-biting as evidence that a person is nervous and stressed-out - but tht might not be the case. Instead, compulsive nail biters are perfectionists - and bite their nails when they’re bored or dissatisfied. University of Montreal researcher Kieron O’Connor said, ‘We believe that individuals with these repetitive behaviours maybe perfectionistic, meaning that they are unable to relax and to perform task at a ‘normal’ pace. ‘They are therefore prone to frustration, impatience, and dissatisfaction when they do not reach their goals. ‘They also experience greater levels of boredom.’ University of Montreal researchers interviewed 48 people with repetitive behaviours such as nail- biting - and then exposed them to situations designed to provoke stress or boredom. In the ‘boredom’ part, the volunteers were simply left alone in a room for five minutes - and researchers noticed they were more prone to nail-biting at that time.
