Why do i tend to dig my nails into my arm when angry or scard?

Reflex: We all have reflex reactions to stress; this, apparently, is yours. While there are far worse reflex reactions, injuring your own arm is not a good thing. Why not carry a rubber ball or small stuffed animal or something similar, and grip that instead?
