“These findings suggest that individuals who suffer from repetitive behaviors could benefit from treatments designed to reduce frustration and boredom, and by modifying their perfectionism ,” said Sarah Robert, who assisted the study’s author.

And you, do you bite your nails, are you a perfectionist?

These are some signs that will help you find out if you are:

• You think in terms of “all or nothing”, you see things as black or white.
• You’re very hard on yourself.
• You get frustrated if you don’t achieve your goals.
• Even when you achieve your goals, you feel dissatisfied.
• You can’t start something until “the perfect moment” arrives, but maybe it never will.
