It just means your perfect!

 

Ok actually it just means you’re actually a perfectionist!

 

A new study done at the University of Montreal says that those who display repetitive behaviors such as nail biting, skin picking and playing with hair are actually just perfectionists.

 

Researchers put 48 people under the microscope, putting them in situations that made them feel stressed, relaxed, frustrated and bored. Those who had a history of displaying repetitive behaviors (nail biting) had a greater urge to do so during the frustration and boredom tests.

 

Now if we take a look at what a perfectionist is – someone who is prone to frustration, impatience and dissatisfaction when a goal isn’t reached. Also, it’s good to note perfectionists generally experience greater levels of boredom.

 

So next time someone tells you off for biting your nails… Just explain to them that what they’re saying to you or the situation you’re in is not doing anything for you and that you’re simply super bored.
