nail biters?

man i just cannot stop biting my nails! sometimes i even bite the skin around them...

ive been biting them for like a year or so now. its not a nervous habit, just a habit.

 

If you want to quit, try to get some pepper nail polish (it's clear) made especially for nail biters, it broke me.

 

how does it work?

 

Try putting hydrochloric acid on your nails, that will make you stop biting them.

 

I used to use some kind of nailpolish like that, but I didn't like the taste so I quit it...

 

I used to have that same problem, and then I switched to grinding my teeth.

 

ouch, I'd say start biting again.

 

It tastes like HARSH pepper and vinegar when you bite your nails.

 

actually, that sounds kinda tasty to me. i'll try it though, i'm really awful about it.

 

If you touch a doorknob and then bite your nails, you can catch hepatitis.

 

Just another worry to freak me out,,, luckily i dont bite my nails (much!) but i am afraid of germs.

 

I never bit my nails, but both my sisters did until their teens. And my daughter bites hers.

 

i used to all the time but finially got over it.

 

Did any of you ever notice that Olhippie has a picture of himself on his t-shirt? (...and no, I'm not talking about Jerry.)

Anyhow... wow, this thread is old. I was like... 17 back then. Wow.

 

its probally a habit cause i used to do that a long time ago then i just quit. and it also depends are you doing anything that make you nervous?

 

all my life i bit my nails and picked at the skin around them.
every time i was nervous..

then one day i was like fuck it i want long nails, so i grew them and kicked the nail biting habit. now when i'm nervous i crack my knuckles. i'm gonna pay for that when i'm older

 

I bite both my finger and toe nails. I don't see it as a bad thing.

I bite when I would have to otherwise clip. I also "peel" my toenails into shape, it works pretty awesome.
