Need to stop bitting my nails.. suggestions
 

Done this as long as I can remember, hate the feeling of having longer nails i guess.. like having pieces of tape stuck on the end of them.. i have stopped for a few days.. but i know its only a matter of time before i do it without noticing.. i attempt many times to stop.

that nasty shit dont help, i bite it off and spit it..

Sure. Grow a pair of balls!

cant you afford nail clippers? YOU FAT BASTARD ALWAYS THINKING BOUT FOOD, OOO MY NAILS NUM NUM NUM!

I need some kinda finger gloves, or nail implants to solid diamonds like jon clarks collection.

I bit my nails from the time I had teeth until about 3 years ago. I just decided to quit and somehow managed. It wasn't the first time. Now I enjoy getting my manicures. I can't really explain it.

Did the smokes and blow the same way. Just stopped.

Spray yourself with water when you get the urge

Nothing wrong with keeping them short (just not too short like most nail biters are), just carry around one of those small nail clippers on your key chain. Or clip them in the morning when you brush your teeth, just don't bite them nails are nasty for bacteria.

problem is I wont even notice.. otherwise i would cut them like metaman suggests.

I basically have to remind myself all day long not to do it, the second im thinking of something else im fucked.

Insert your fingers in your asshole then don't wash, lets see if you still want to bite 'em. :winkwink:

note my nails are not hard like toenails.. hell I could never bite that shit, not that I could reach lol.. I am hoping if I can pull this off long enough they will grow harder and make it more impossible for me to bite.

Ill keep you updated if it works.

btw your profile pic wtf .. a naked little boyÉ

My son had that issue. There is a clear polish that has a horrid taste. So when u put your fingers in your mouth, you get that nastiness. I forget what its called.

yeah it comes off easy enough and able to spit it without tasting it as long as your tongue or lips is not wet.. than again only tried it once.

I don't bite my nails, I quit doing that when I become a freak about germs. But I pick them all time so it's just as bad. Uggg! Wish I could stop but like you say, you just forget about it and next thing I know I'm using a pen cap or bottle cap to pick at my nails.

Try this

dip your nails in arsenic in the morning that way if you forget and start biting atleast ya wont do it again :P

keep some nail clippers on your desk, you'll be cutting more often but you wont have gnarly chewed up nails :)

Put a little vaseline on your finger tips. So when you go to bite your nails it taste like shit! That's how my friend quit.

What if he likes vaseline :Graucho

hummmmmmm... good point..

Well, I told him to put his fingers up MY ass if that'll help, but then he said that he'll definitely keep biting them....

:helpme

dip them in chicken shit....

if i could only get everything else outta there :P

put your fingers in ass... that will (probably) keep you from puting them in your mouth... :upsidedow

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

mmmmm.... I call that 'Poo-Pops'

I hate not havin the clippers handy and get to bitin em. Get a good one started and it rips a piece of skin off :(

Dude I quit biting my nails like a year ago and there is no secret to it, just will power.

wish I could give you something more

I agree... or there's the other stupid suggestions. Deep your fingers in dog poop, put chilly powder on your nails, put some of that nasty nail polish... so every time you're about to chew on your nail you puke

Today I caught myself a couple times attempting.. funny how I do it without knowing it and than I catch myself..

Can you picture me giving myself shit and slapping my own hand lol

Soak your fingers in methylated spirits.

You can stop this behavior by not reading my posts.

What I did was put a rubber band around my wrist. When I caught myself biting my fingernails, I would pull the rubber band out and snap it, hard, against the sensitive part of my wrist on the palm side.

Eventually I associated the biting with the pain and I stopped.

YMMV, but it worked for me.
