nail biting solutions?

[hammy2]

I am unable to grow my nails long cuz they end up bending and breaking. I did used to bite my nails quite badly due to anxiety but you have to find a way to break bad habits. The best way to do that is to replace the bad habit with a good habit. Try carrying a nail file around and when ever you get the urge to bite them file them instead.

I used to be a really bad nail biter. I stopped myself from chewing them by being conscious about when I brought my hands to my mouth. Every time I caught myself doing it, I'd force myself to do something else. About a month later, I found that I wasn't chewing my nails anymore.

If that doesn't work, try this: Cover your nails and the tips of your fingers with either masking tape or surgical tape. Then, put some knitted mittens over that and keep your hands that way for a few weeks. Sure, it'll look ridiculous but it'll keep your nails out of your mouth.

Bite the end of your pen instead of your nail then

Get your nails done. That's what helped me. Altho I haven't been to a nail saloon in a whiel and fell off the nail biting wagon.
For me it s stress reliever but I hate that I do it.

I have to say i am not a long nail fan. I find them dirty looking and old womany. Sorry no offence to you long nailers out there.

I bite mine too. I had acrylics put on (short) for around two years and they completely ruined my nails and cost me a small fortune. So ive given up . I just put on nail varnish to make them look half decent.

Neither am I a fan of long nails as I've had them before but I found I couldn't do anything with them. I really enjoy doing crafts and grubbing about in the garden so long nails aren't for me but I wouldn't want to be a nail biter either cuz you make your fingers sore and bleed. There's a chance you can get infections when you bite your nails and that's not fun x-(
