@@slammed3763 One tip I could give y'all for breaking any bad habit or something. Stare at the "problem" (f.e. stare at your nails if you want to stop biting your nails) and make yourself focus on it for a couple seconds. (( I started biting my nails when I was 8 (I will turn 19 this year) and I got a big splinter right under my nail, the nail was almost gone after they cut the splinter away and I probably started biting my nails cause of anxiety.)) Hope I can at least give y'all hope to break the habit :)

When I bite my nails I'm always scared of shaking someone's hand

[@JustinLodes]

It’s different for everyone. For me sure I’ll bite my nails when I’m nervous or anxious but the 2 main reasons I do it is because I like to chew them the way people like to chew bubble gum. It’s stimulating in a way. So I can be perfectly calm and still bite them. Second has to do with loose ends. When the nail separates from the skin at the tip I have the desire to remove that part of the nail that is essentially for lack of a better word “dead” part of me gets worried the nail will snag onto something and have the whole nail rip off. However part of me likes the fact that there is a little bit of the nail edge because it does look nicer. But also for functionality. I try to keep my left pinky nail long enough to pry food out of my molars (maybe that’s part of why we have nails) and also I want the nails to be long enough to scratch an itch or help pick things like coins up etc. or even be able to grab a splinter. The main reason I hate biting my nails though it because they look funky and ugly afterwards. Unbitten nails are much more aesthetically pleasing than bitten nails

[@synshenron798]

Ive never known why I like biting my nails but its gotten so bad that my teeth hurt almost all the time. I gotta stop, my teeth are killing me

It’s has officially been a week since I’ve stopped biting my nails! I am so proud of myself!

I’m so looking forward to it!

A non nail biter won’t understand... you won’t be able to overcome it with bandaids or bitter nail polish. I just kicked my habit this year at the age of 29. First put on clear nail polish and leave it and the. Pick it off and reapply and take Carlson’s very finest fish oil capsules. Made my nails STRONG and they’re lovely now!!!

[@wanderingsoul1094]

that’s how i stopped biting my nails, i force myself to keep my hands or fingers away from my mouth and have applied clear nail polish and peeled it off so many times. i don’t know why but it has helped me stop biting my nails lol

[@kchannel4299]

wandering soul me too I get it. I’m really thankful to be done with this bad habit!!! Honestly the fish oil for me really gave me a fighting chance because I’m one to pick as well and my nails before would tear and break and we’re not flexible or strong so it was like even if I tried growing them out it just wasn’t any use!!! Also I believe it’s God who helped me too and led me to those fish oils and helped me to be calmer and not bite, I had been asking for help too in Jesus’ name

[@sickickick]

i literally JUST stopped biting my nails after 13 years. all i did was go to the store with my bitten up nails and buy myself a basic equate nail kit (cuticle pusher, file, clippers, etc), a healthy polish to nourish my nails, a buffer, nail polish in some cute colors, and started substituting biting for caring for them meticulously. not only that, but if i do get the urge, ill wedge my canine under a nail and just let it sit there, maybe apply pressure, and then go about caring for them again. my biting was fueled by anxiety and embarrassingly enough, me being unable to stand seeing them uneven. now i just take a file to them. i dont clip because clipping causes breakage. file in one direction. my nails are literally looking so good now and i cant believe i ever bit them. im going 3 weeks strong nown already have so much growth, past the skin already!

[@amelialeach9507]

As a kid I really really struggled with nail biting, I did it when I was nervous, bored and stressed. I tried the bitter polish, I tried easing out of it but that didn’t work. So I started wearing gloves and tried to become more aware of when I was doing it. Whenever I felt these things that would trigger the nail biting I instead started doing things with my hands to keep them busy and away from my mouth like putting my hand on a surface (leg, table) and go through my trumpet scales, that had the added but unnecessary benefit of me now being able to play with my left hand 😂 it took years to genuinely stop biting them and I’d go for months without, then all of a sudden in 5 minutes my nails would be gone and I’d have to start again. I know this was really long but please know that with will power and the right method for you you can stop biting and could have nice strong nails you don’t have to hide or be ashamed of. Do what works for you and good luck 😁

I had freedom from nail biting when I did my first acrylic nails. Then when COVID came, it was back to old habits. But I’m trying to slowly kick this habit. Been doing good now. A little bit at a time and it feels far more satisfying knowing I did it on my own determination instead of taking temporary measures.

[@madelinelouisa8605]

I was an extreme nail biter all my life. I just recently stopped out of the blue since they looked so bad. I put coconut oil on my cuticles a few days per week before bed. In 3 months my nails grew beautifully and I went for my first manicure ever. My nails look so good now, which keeps me from biting or picking at them. I also use clear polish only, as I tend to pick off colored polish.

[@powerofconquerz1437]

Who is chewing their nail right now? Because I am

[@orianamandi]

I'm sorry I gave a dislike, but it's a terrible habit. I came over it ALL by myself and I'm really proud bc I didn't paint my nails or anything. I just did it totally on my own. I told myself that I couldn't stop from one day to another. I knew this wasn't possible. So I slowly, day by day cut it down and I said to myself: "Do you really like your hands to look this way? Are you stupid?" So basically I made myself embarrassed to give me motivation and one day it all ended! I had made it! And when it was over I realized that it was all in my mind. It's all in our minds, trust me💎💎 If you want, my friend, you can follow my advice and tell me how it's working for you.
