r/thumbsucking

Is anyone always worried about being caught ?

So is anyone always worried about being caught Tsing by someone ? Whether that be siblings parents or grandparents, aunts uncles friends etc? I sleep so good if I Ts but I won’t let myself fall asleep with it. Is anyone else the same way? Also I always wonder if I TS too loud lol, I know it’s not a big deal it’s my habit, my body and it’s my choice of if I want to ts or not but I also want to fit into societal norms and expectations

Are these interlinked somehow - thumb sucking, hair pulling and nail biting?

I do all the 3 as an adult. My unconsciousness tend to pull my hair when I suck my thumb. And I've observed I pull/roll my hair only from specific parts of my scalp (the front mostly). And I regret after I forcefully pluck it out. This happens with me on a daily basis. I've also observed that I bite my nails or more specifically the walls of my nails (cuticles) when I think/work on something. I sometimes bite it to the point that it hurts for the next 2-3 days until it regrows the walls. Sometimes this occurs with hair pulling. I did see all 3 under Body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRB).

Does anybody have something similar to share?
