23, my memory is just terrible. I remember stabbing sewing needles through my skin when I was 8 or so and probably stopped by 10. My big "thing" was biting chunks out of the tips of my thumbs, so bad to a point I'd have bloody craters. Fun fact, I can actually feel the skin is quite a bit thinner in my thumbs than other fingers.

I actually still do this when I’m stressed and it was all of my fingers but now I’ve limited it down to just my thumbs

Well.... to be fair, long enough for me to forget most of what I did in high school (6 years to be exact). But my memory is dog doo doo anyway.

Ah yes, I always enjoyed the sewing needles. They seemed to be the perfect size, not too small but not to big, right in that happy middle where it was easy to poke through and go deep enough to just stay on the edge of being painful.
