I use to bite my fingernails...
 

Then for no reason at all last week I stopped. Its quite odd. Didn't plan on it, didn't think about it, it just happened.

Its weird having a new body part that you haven't had for 20 years.

did u bite them that bad? you sick bitch... i love the sig

So whos are you biting now?

Yah pretty bad.

I remember the day I started actually, I was like 10 and was at a theatre watching to movie FUNHOUSE. I got straight As and as a reward I could pick any movie I wanted, always went with horror flicks...

It messed up my little mind.

Nobodys ;)

man your sig is weirding me out..

i'm gonna have nightmares :(

Have you replaced it with something else - another habit?

This reminds me of when Forrest Gump stops running in the middle of the desert. (No offense).

i bite mine daily....i can't stop :(

Started sucking cock instead, eh?

I used to bite mine as well - up until just a few years ago. I started cutting back on my suger intake and stopped biting my nails automatically....was the darndest thing. Have you changed your diet recently?

It worked out good for me.

Thankfully don't bite mine. :)

Me too. Why I asked the question, from my own experiences. :)

your sig rocks

I switched nail biting for smoking crack.

No shit dude - i stopped last week too! Although.. there was a reason.. my gf really looked at them and she was kinda shocked.. as in "how can you hurt yourself like that?" because i bit them pretty hardcore and the skin around them. I usually do it when I'm stressed/thinking.. And I've been workign pretty hardcore the last few weeks... the only time i remember stopping in the last few years was once on vacation. So I got some of that stuff you put on your fingernails that tastes fucking horrible. and after a few days i was conditioned to stop.. I opened my first can of coke unaided the the other day - i was like "look honey!" lol so pathetic.

i bite mine too... but i've been trying to stop and so far it's working. I catch myself going to bite but then realise how lame it is. I don't know why i started biting them in the first place - i'm not a nervous person - anyhow...congrats on the new nails...lol

Start cleaning your toenails then.

I think I can settle with nail biting; it's cuter to look at. :

i never bit my fingernails - but i did bite the skin around the nail - it was kinda primal, just ripping off my own skin with my bare teeth. i have no idea when I stopped or why. this thread just made me think about it - weird. I used to twirl my hair and then pull it - no idea either when and why I stopped.

obsessive compulsive stuff.

lol.. your sig makes me dizzy..

i'm a bad nail biter to, i've stopped and started a dozen or so times

i bite from time to time.

i also bite mine too..i don't know why i won't stop doing it..
your sig is cool!

I can't help myself, I'm always nibbling on them.

sunflower seeds anyone ? lol.

I currently bite my nails but about two to three years ago I suddenly stopped... didn't even realize I had stopped until they started getting really long and people were actually complaining I was scratching them... I had to go to Walgreens and get nail clippers, I had never even owned them before! It's really weird to have a bad habit and suddenly stop with no explanation why. Although I do believe it is stress related and that's why I bite them.

I used to bite mine when I was a kid, thankfully no more

Rarely now, used to all the time, any time i got bored basically...dont know why, just dont do it anymore

That sig needs an exorcist... It's really creeping me out. :1orglaugh

i used to bite mine a lot too - then - last year I quit doing it - but - I still do it when stressed out or nervous - bad habits are hard to break

TRue. I find my front teeth more effective than the nailcutter. :thumbsup

ahahaha fuck me - you owe me a new monitor - spat my cuppa all over it!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I bite my nails far too much. I can't even open cans of beer with them anymore. I keep trying to stop, but I start doing it again without thinking about it.

I seem to bite them more at night, for some reason.

your sig is psycho

are you relaxed?

omg that is soo disgusting!!!! yuk

oops forgot to add the pic that i think is disgusting, well if u havent seen it its the one foot with the yellow long ass nails!eewwww

THAT IS FUCKING MINGING !!!

Congratulations on not biting you nails anymore :1orglaugh

I stopped years ago, but I had that horrible nail biting habit as well. Now I need my nails to pick the boogers out. :)

Thanks for sharing.

fuck i'm horrible for that, i do it constantly, i don't even think its a nerve thing, just something i do now unconsciously.

i still do it sometimes

I have a terrible problem biting my nails.. wish I could stop :-(

I wish I could do that, I am biting my fingers for like 20 years

could it possibly be a mineral deficiency or just a nervous habit? i bounce my leg or shake it up and down (whatever you wanna call it) when im sitting. i do it without even thinking. one day some old dude told me that it was a mineral deficiency that makes me do it. i don't know how true that is but i guess it could be a possibility.

biting of fingernails means you're very insecure..

This statement cannot be farther from the truth. The term "insecure" has no meaning outside of the experience of the person having the feeling. The class of experience that you label with the term insecure is unique to your ongoing internal representation of a group of images, sounds and feelings. You have generalized those internal experiences and effectively said, "when I experience A, B & C I recognize that group of experiences as "insecure". To over-generalize the word insecure (your experience) and say that EVERYONE who bites their nail is "insecure" is equivalent to saying everyone who runs is "scared". Some people run for "fun" and others run as a hobby.

Everyone engages in behavior based on personal and unique sets of circumstances. Nail biting is no different.

I would like to perform an experiment. All of you who feel that your life would be better by eliminating the nail biting habit, I invite you to download my Freedom From Nail Biting hypnosis MP3. I am offering this to everyone free of charge and all that I ask is that you lsiten to the recording three time a week for two weeks and report your results here. If you like you can post some before and after photos of your nails. I think that would make for a very interesting thread.

I developed this program several years ago and have sold thousands all around the world. It is best if you burn the file to a CD and listed to it with comfortable headphones. Some people find it best to listen while lying down and others prefer to sit in a quite room with in trance. It really does not matter where or how you develop your trance just that you do it three time a week for two weeks.

You can download the file at http://www.weneedthis.net/gfy/nailbiting.mp3

I am quite interested to see how many people participate and how many people post positive results. If you would like to participate but you do not want to announce it on this board, you can email me with your name and before and after photos at [email protected]
