I've gotten this fear because sometimes when I walk on carpeted floors, barefoot, I will scrape my nails against the carpet, and it makes me so uncomfortable. Honestly I've seen pictures of nails off, and dude, don't post stuff like that. Nobody wants to see your nail ripped off, especially most of the squeemish type of people, such as myself. I can't even have nails that are long, because I'm worried that if they hinge onto something, they'll rip off, but I also have a fear of clipping them, because the sound honestly is a nails-on-a-chalkboard sound for me. I try to keep my nails short enough so they aren't taller than the tip of the toe they're on, but not short enough that I can't even look at them without wanted to shiver and/or puke. Anybody with nails that are really long, or that are in terrible condition, for example, jaggedy edges and holes through them, etc, I can't even look at the nails without shaking profusely. Once my cat was going berserk, and I was sitting on the step on the stairs. She ran up the stairs and hooked her claw onto the skin above my nail, and made it bleed. For a second, I thought it had gotten ripped off, and I literally cried. I still have a scar where she ripped the skin upwards. I can only stand nails that are not too tall, nor are not too short, and are the perfect size to where they look safe, and I perfer to have smooth ridges on where the nails end. Ripped off nails are disgusting, and thankfully, I have never had to deal with one... but my cousin has. It's healed, and there is no nail there, but it still freaks me out. I can't even listen to stories of someone's nail getting off. Anyways, this fear is really bad for me, and I hope you guys don't have to deal with things like this, because it's simply disgusting.
