terrible habit of mine. but at least now i dont get blood under my fingernails when i scratch peoples eyes out.
I don't bite mine. Mine usually just break off from playing fingerstyle guitar so much... I often wonder how chet atkins did it like he did. Tommy Emmanuel... all of those guys. I can't see how they go through with concerts and festivals so much and play so hard and good fingerstyle... not unless they go through the same pain I do to play because of the passion in it.
I don't bite them, but I pick them apart. I have virtually no fingernails, apparently apalling cuticles, and those tiny skin-hangnail things around my nails that seem to really worry some people about my welfare. I get seriously annoyed when people try and get me to stop; they're MY fucking fingernails, and if I want to peel them off I'll goddamn well do it. It may be an obsessive/complusive habit, but I really don't feel the need to break it.
I kind of do that... I'll peel/cut them with my other fingernail and pull them instead of cutting them if they do get long... but sometimes it hurts... I need to stop doing it, though.
i do that somtimes if they tear a little at the edge... i bite my nails unconsciously but not all the way off... just kinda stick them in my mouth and chew on em i guess?... hard to explain.. it's usually when i'm thinking about something sexual...
I think i stopped biting my fingernails when someone told me 90% or 70% or 50% of fingernail dirt is faeces. Think about that next time you bite your nails!!!
lol wow... there must be feces everywhere then!! money is the grossest thing though... do not bite your nails after handling money... you have no idea where it's been, really. oh UNLESS! you want to build up a tolerance to disease by exposing yourself to things like that. EDIT----- oh and i like your signature Syd!
uuuuhh my fingers look reallly sick. i dont bite the nails but all the skin around them. and i cant stop! it feels so satisfying! *bite*
