I do that too and for the exact same reasons! Only i pick at the skin on my lip instead. I never even knew it had a name until i came on here lol. But yeah i find that i wont do it if i put chapstick or something on or when people are around. The latter, though, is cause (I'm highly suspicious) i have social anxiety as well as the generalized anxiety me, friends, and family are sure i have. Otherwise, i find having something to keep my hands busy helps - usually it ends up being the cord for my headphones, or my ring, and sometimes my necklace.
