I used to chew on stuff, but now I am a picker. I like to pick at things. Mostly myself. When I am anxious I pick. I could spend hours picking. I have tried to stop. It's an awful habit.
Beware of that picking thing -- it could be OCD. You may need to get help with that. My neighbour has OCD and he picked himself tell he bled (said it feels orgasmic when he went that far!); my father has OCD (and dementia) and has picked his nose, eyelids and other parts of his body as well, till there were holes; and an autistic friend has done the same.
