I pick my skin most of the time from extreme stress, yes But I can also happen when my anxiety is high. (I have general and social anxiety) which could I guess also be considered stress

It is also (for me) what is called a body-focused repetitive behavior. Which can actually be a serious disorder (I don’t have the disorder) but I do bite, chew, pull, pluck, etc on my skin, nails, and hair to soothe myself. Most of the time, I don’t even recognize I’m doing it
