Do you consider personal improvements like improved mental health leveling up?

Improved mental health is the epitome of level up, yeah. Congratulations on kicking your habit! May it be one of a long string of successes for you.

Absolutely! For me this is one if not the biggest part. Especially if a man is mature and has dated around he'll take the more mentally stable girl instead of the 'crazy' hot one (stereotyping here). Emotional regulation and getting to the core of my issues allows me to have the freedom to make better choices instead of being reactive. Men count on us being 'emotional' and 'crazy' in order to be dismissive of our feelings. When you can keep your cool yet express your feelings they become more 'valid' in their eyes. Dumb but true.

My version of nail biting and anxiety would be depression and my personal appearance. When I'm struggling I don't want to dress cute wear sweats etc. Taking good care of my appearance and dressing more feminine the world treats me differently and I feel better about myself so it become a positive feedback loop. I'm also getting back into working out mainly for mental health reasons but being fit is a good indicator as well.

I would argue it’s the most important thing to level up. A stable career, finances and exercise regime is much easier to achieve when you have successfully wrangled your brain.

There's this sister subreddit: r/femalelevelupstrategy.

And congratulations for overriding this habit!

Well... yes... It's damn near impossible to take care of your life if your mental health is sitting on you like a hippo with a sugar crash. :P

And people treat me so so so much better now that I taught myself how to do gel extensions. So my nails always look nice and I feel much better about myself even if it's just going to the post office in leggings and a sweatshirt. haha

YES, absolutely.

How did you break it? I've also had a lifelong nail biting/picking habit that has been a devil to stop for any significant period of time.

Its vital.
