I did it for about a month, it had kind of an unpleasant quality though and I didn't like it very much and I hated stumpy nails so I stopped. I fiddle with my nails but I don't bite them.

I bite them when I get bored which is a lot.
I have never bitten my nails, especially after seeing my older brother bite his. He even used to bite the skin around them and it made me feel sick. :barf: I have to say that I love my nails, they're such a nice shape and I've never even thought about biting them. :greenie:
This is a tragic tale without end; you should perhaps remind them of their promise, o_O!Quote:

I bite my fingernails instead of clipping them. It isn't really a habit, it's more that II see that my nails are getting long and I bite them. I bite the skin around my nails, too.
I'm just too lazy to get the nail clippers.Quote:

I'm sure there's just as many disgusting bacteria living in your mouth :p
Bacteria in my mouth? No way, nothing alive likes to live in warm, wet places!
If your hands are clean enough that you're comfortable touching the food you eat, then I can't imagine your fingers directly in your mouth being substantially worse. Most bad stuff ingested is killed in your stomach, anyway.Quote:

I have an obsessive need to keep my nails short, and if I don't have any clippers nearby I'll bite them to keep them in check.
I haven't bitten my nails in about a month because I have acrylics on. I haven't really missed it, plus my nails are prettier at the moment! :jess:
All you nail biters should go straight to the loony bin! :jess:
Anyhow, if you're a nail biter...Cut your nails.. There problem solved!
One of my more innocent vices.
