Oh I don't mind explaining it really if it helps people understand why nails are somewhat a trigger of mine. (Explanation under the cut)
So when I was younger (Maybe 5 or some age around there) my grandma started taking me to nail salons when I went to visit her. Now two important things to note is A. I bit my nails and still do to this day and B. I was really shy which is pretty normal for my age. Every time we went either I was teased or scolded by people I didn’t know for biting my nails. Naturally this stressed me out and so what did I do? I bit my nails. And this happened for years! And as I got older the teasing just turned into insulting not only my habit which cant just go away overnight, but me as well. And the scolding never stopped. After a while even my grandmother joined in on making fun of my perfectly normal habit and not once had defended me. Eventually my grandma had moved in and once that happened her taking me to the salon was like a “bonding experience” or something and now I see her everyday so there is no more need for going to the salon. My main problem is that mentions of nail salons often set off a chain reaction and I tend to wonder off thinking of other situations in my life where I was bullied and teased. Although, things like nail polish head cannons for characters don’t really bother me or something along those lines. Its human nails and mentions of salons that bother me. Also playful teasing and scolding don’t really bother me but if anything ever becomes to much I will ask for it to stop.
