Nail biting

[Rye]

I finally broke my nail biting habit. It was unbelievably difficult, seeing how I've been biting my nails to the quick ever since I was about 5, and I'm turning 17 in a few days. It was always a really nervous habit. It's still difficult, because even though I won't bite my nails, I still have impulses to have my nails in my mouth.

Are you a nail biter? Were you? Did you quit?

[Sergeant Hartman]

You bite your toe nails?

My name is Jeff and I'm addicted to biting my nails.

I first started too long ago to remember. I don't even remember why I did it. It's a choice that I'd take back in a heartbeat if I ever got the chance to go back and do it again. Trying to quit is torture. I've tried many times but I always end up regressing into a state of dependency. I just needed to share that with all of you.

Thank you.

Nah. I paint those lovely colors of red and purple. Just my fingernails.

And oddler, I know how that is. I can't even count how many times I tried to stop. But this time, I was just able to do it. It's weird, because it happened around the time I decided not to eat for 3/4 days. Not that I advocate anyone doing that to quit nail biting.

I recently had a conversation about this with my teacher.

I still don't understand how one bites toenails, but whatever.

And to be on topic, no. Nail biting is disgusting. Just think of the germs you're giving a free ride into your mouth; however, it just seems like that isn't a problem with getting germs for you.

I did long long ago. I just stopped because I would much rather just cut them. SOOOOO much easier.

[Faris]

I'm on an on-off basis with my nail biting.

[Zeldy]

Ive never had the urge to bite my nails, nor have I ever found it attractive to do so. I think its disgusting, especially when I have to listen to people biting.

I get so many compliments for my nails, and people asking if they're fake as they're quite long xD

[Tifa Valentine]

I used to bite my nails. My sister helped me stop by checking my nails every Friday and if I didn't touch them she would reward me with chocolate.

My boyfriend bites his nails, but I don't know what to do to get him to stop.

I stopped biting my nails 3 months ago. I was doing it since I was like 4 or something.

Are you a nail biter?
Nope. I used to when I was younger, but not anymore.

Were you?
...That was just established.

Did you quit?
YES. I just told you this.

[Leen-Leen]

Nope, I have never had a nail biting habit in my life. It makes me wonder what I do when I'm nervous or anxious, though. I've never noticed if I have a habit of doing anything while I'm nervous or anxious.

[Evastio]

I've never bitten my nails and I've never personally known anyone who has.

[kikimm]

I bite them. That's it. Just bite. I don't rip them or anything.

For me it was I'd get to school and notice my nails were long so I'd bite them off. and I hated it, hurt my teeth and my fingers. So I invested in a nice pair of nail clippers and haven't bit them since
