I used to do this as well, I’d use my other toenails to “pick” at the others and pretty much rip them off.. it got to the point where I was still doing it in adulthood and it really bothered my spouse lol
The ingrowns were really bad (I used lavender essential oil to heal them) and I was tired of my feet looking “ugly” due to the picked nails. I eventually learned that I have sensory issues and the nails being too long was a trigger to “pick” them. I started putting nail polish on my nails and it made it more difficult to pick. Now that I’ve done that for a little over a year I don’t feel like picking them even without them being painted (:
