@Quallsy15 i do that as well and i really want to stop... sometimes i say ill stop but when i bite my fingers or nails i day dream and forget bout what i said :(

[7whee]

I was also biting my nails while watching this video. And also, i bite my nails till they are bleeding and also the skin. It is bad!

[SugarNSpice8611]

I am a cronic nail biter too and seriously don't know what to do to stop. As a woman, to have unattractive nails is embarrassing. Not to mention, it's unhealthy and just a disgusting habit.

[laurenwalnut199]

I've been nail biting for years, my teeth are starting to wear down where I grind :S My dentist gets mad at me

[TheNewRiflemanBob]

@laurenwalnut199 do you think this is a joke?!

[laurenwalnut199]

@TheNewRiflemanBob huh? uh no I was not joking you friggin nut

[TheNewRiflemanBob]

@laurenwalnut199 oh ok it just sounded as if you were. And quite throwing out derogatory terms at people whom you don't know.

Just buy those plastic nails that comes with nail glue, glue them on your nails until your nails has grown long. If they come off keep gluing them back on. Wear the plastic nails for 2-3 weeks and then your nails will be long. You can buy hand and nail cream to make your nails strong. Trust me it works! Dont have acrylic nails because they are bad for your nails and you end up with ingrown nails!

ok.... but can I bite my toenails?

[CantWeedThis]

ive been biting my nails since i was born and i also never get sick. I think subjecting my mouth to germs constantly all my life helped to build a kickass immune system. Can anyone relate?

[Quallsy15]

K I no this is gross: not only do I bite my nails, but I bite the skin all around my nails too..

@Quallsy15 -barfs-

[CantWeedThis]

@Quallsy15

so do i buddy, its a fun game, one of my hobbies. Now for the million dollar question... who peels the layers of the nail back layer by layer....youve really gotta work at it at the edge. If you can do this you are truely a pro nail biter, or one anxious mo fo like me.

[Krinkro]

@CantWeedThis I do that, It's been so bad for me i bit off my whole nail! It's recovering fast though

[bubblybubbles31809]

@Quallsy15 omg me too i really wanna stop

[kvcavin1]

@Quallsy15 I know exactly what you mean. I rip up my cuticles, I bite my skin, I destroy anything that could be on my nail or around it. :'( Also....I destroyed one of my thumbs so bad this year that it's now healthy in the back of it, but near the front, it drops down to an uneven level. I just want my thumb to be the same height again. I want my nails to actually look pretty. :( Help us!

[mhists]

@Quallsy15 I do too. :D

[naturegirl1224]

@Quallsy15 Your not the only one. I do it too. But I also bite off layers off of the tops of my nails like sheets. :(

[AZNgirl953]

@Quallsy15 your not the only one that does that lol

[xdunlapx]

@Quallsy15 I used to bite my skin around my nails, too. When I went on an anti-depressant (also anti-anxiety medicine) i stopped biting so severely. I still do bite and tear at my nails though. They are still quite short, but I'm trying to stop for good.

[BedriyeAboud]

@Quallsy15 I do the same lol.

[snapple6661]

@Quallsy15 i do the same too :( my nails are all massacred and deformed from chewing my entire life. :(

[MusicForLivin]

@Quallsy15 - I bite my skin so much that they bleed! (T__T)

[jubeye]

One tip i suggest to stop the biting is to put on nail polish remover. What this will do is it will make the nails taste bad so you won't want to bite. The nail polish will last about 3 days(showering regularly) and you will need to re-reply every 3 days.
