 This is Ashley and today's little video is based on an article entitled male biting a problem deeper than skin deep. Now I'm sure a lot of us are guilty of biting our nails. I know I am. As a kid I used to bite my fingernails a lot but nobody really pointed it out except for my aunt and after she did I guess you can say that was when I started using a lot of nail polish and because I did use nail polish it prevented me from biting my fingernails because I do not want all of this hard work to go to waste. Now according to the article there are many reasons why a person who want to bite their nails. It can be attention seeking, sociopathy, lack of self-monitoring or self-esteem and it can even be OCD but the most common reasons are stress and anxiety. It's used as an outlet for built-up emotions and a way to reduce tension. In the article Dr. Roland Bronow says that our skin and nails are a mirror of our emotions. It just got pretty deep didn't it? Now to conclude this video I would like to give you guys some tips on how you can stop yourselves from biting your nails. Now the first thing you're gonna have to do is confront your problem okay? Admit it. Admit that you have a problem with biting your nails. Suggestion number one. This is gonna sound really ridiculous but as long as you're at home I think you can get away with it. You can wrap bandages around your fingernails. Suggestion number two. This is something that you can get away with especially when you're outside with friends or on occasion. You can wear some stylish gloves. For all of you lovely ladies out there like I mentioned in the first part of my video you can wear some nail polish and my last suggestion and I think this is the best way you can stop biting your nails is to keep your fingernails short.
