I do this as well. Pick cuticles and slip one of my nails under the nail of another finger back and forth. It's really bad. I also bite my lips. One thing I have noticed though... is I stopped biting my nails. Just realised that. But the picking of cuticles and this new weird happen of rubbing one nail under another is annoying the crap out of me. Sometimes I can ever feel a sort of ringing in my hands. And I want to clench them and open them to make it stop.
It's anxiety. Pure and simple. Some weird coping mechanism we have.
