Skin picking can have both psychological and physiological triggers. Some individuals experience it as a response to skin conditions like eczema, acne, or psoriasis. The physical sensation of imperfections, such as bumps or scabs, may drive the urge to pick. However, for many, stress, anxiety, and self-critical thoughts exacerbate the behaviour. In these cases, the act of skin picking may serve as a coping mechanism for underlying emotional distress.

Employees who excel at their roles may face alienation due to envy or resentment from colleagues, or because their exceptional performance sets them apart, leading to feelings of isolation. They may also be overloaded with responsibilities as a result of their competence, which can lead to burnout and a sense of being undervalued.

Individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience difficulties adapting to change. Both conditions are associated with cognitive inflexibility, which can hinder one's ability to adjust to new situations. In OCD, cognitive inflexibility manifests as rigid thinking patterns and a strong preference for routines, making adaptation to change particularly challenging. Similarly, ADHD is linked to difficulties with executive functions, including planning and organisation, which can impede the ability to manage transitions effectively.
