QUESTION:
What does the habit of chewing the skin and fingernails come from, especially if this is a family habit? What causes it and what can be done about it?
ANSWER:
It is an externally learned habit which stems from lack of calmness and a lack of patience. That needs a lot of inner work. It may also be an outward expression of one’s boredom, and if that is the case, one needs to fill his void with inner content.
