What can be done when a 17-year-old person is constantly sucking their thumb? The person I am writing about sucks a finger from infancy until now. Bans or requests don't help. How to deal with it?
Marto! If that person is in good mental he alth, does not feel ridiculous about it, and does not intend to do anything about it, no outsider will help him. She has to fight her own habit. Some people calm down by biting their nails, which is also not a pleasant sight. Sometimes they help you overcome these habits by sudden events that put you in a choice situation: bonding with someone, getting a job, etc. If your "mammal" is developing normally, it should be realizing that such a habit can make life very difficult.
