I'm glad I could help... I'm not sure how far along I am... I think I may have just convinced myself that it's not based on stress and so it's translated into something else
that was a complete waste of time..no offence dude,u seem like a great guy..but my nails are fucked and that was the worst advise sorry..take care..no offence dude
It was partly advice but it's was more of an analysis... Nail biting, for most people, is a reaction to stress... What I was saying is you have to find what the stress is and try and resolve it... that or try and find a new outlet for it...
That is just a outward view, some of the suggestions were things that I have known to work but it's different for most... And though I won't argue an opinion but I really doubt it's the worst... there's some really bad advice out there....
I bit my nails and I find I do it when i'm thinking about things. If i'm not biting, then i'm eating food. it's something about taking my mind away from stuff helps me think.
I once went cold turkey and let my nails gorw, but when they grew longer I got dirt and other crap under the nails. So that gave me an excuse to go back to biting. Weird.
It's like a drug habit where you've always got the drugs in your hands.
They are similar to Drug addiction in more then one way. they are, after all it's a means to escape a current reality as drugs are, through it's less harmful and impacting then drugs...
The relapse is probably due to the an insufficient means to deal with the stresser... I would suggest finding and outlet not bound by negative consequences
But that would depend on the amount of stress you have and how you deal with it... I paint, write among other things... and yet I still need to bite nails
I don't think it's stress. It's more boredom or concentration time when i'm thinking of something and biting my nails is just an automatic response to thinking. Like sucking on the end of a pen when your writing something. Just about every kid in high school did that at one point.
It may not be stress, I think I said that... If not sorry... but the point is it's a response to something and if it's bothering you the things I listened should work... there is a reason you link nail biting to whatever it is you do... it may just be thinking but it still might be stress, some people don't even realize they are stressed when they are... as odd as that sounds...
wow..u are amazing..u just typed what i always though about my fuckin stupid nails..they dont freak me out..other ppl think they are gross though..blah..i'm frustrated! thankyou though x
You're so engaging...in your videos I feel like you're speaking directly to me. And this is so weird you do sound American in this video!
That's awesome that you're doin the psychology thing...how is it?? I'm thinking of going into that in college, it's just one of the few things I can think of that interest me.
It's a very interesting field... but I have to warn you, a lot of people want to get into this field for the wrong reasons and they make horrible psychologist, because they simply want to find out what's wrong with them... a lot of people start with it a switch to something else... I'm not trying to discourage you, you should totally go for it... just don't be against changing if you find something more fun... That being said Psychology can be very interesting

It's strange, this is the only video of yours where you speak in an American accent. (Yes, you do sound English in all the other ones)
