Anybody else keeps sniffing their fingernails?

I've recently noticed that I smell my fingernails when I'm nervous.
Does anybody else have this nervous tick? :biggrin:

Honestly, yes haha. I don't know if I'm 'smelling my fingers' as such but I do tend to bring my fingers to my nose and scratch my upper lip/rub my nose a bit when I'm nervous. I think it could be something to do with the 'hiding' factors of it. It's just like rubbing the temples in terms of stress habit. I wouldn't really call it a 'tick' though, just a little habit for calm, like a dog licking his lips in stress.
No ... Though I do tend to rub my nose when I'm nervous :smile:

I mean I smell my fingernails, but not in the same way as you do. They smell bad trust me, but somehow....they're just addictive...idk. It's like the feeling you get when you're high up and your body wants to just jump off. Idk why I do this. I also do it when I scratch my hair too. I guess I have some sort of "strange addiction" or whatever is going on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same! I love to dig dirt out of my nails, especially after scratching my hair, then smelling my nails ... And it takes up a lot of my time... Also like picking my face, it sucks! It's tiring! Im like disgusted with myself but I do it a lot when I'm stressed or anxious and it just makes me feel better
