Its been a habit since I was 3 years old. I really want to stop, and I bite them down to almost nothing! Does biting nails affect me in any way?How do I stop biting my nails?
Hi. I had the same habit..bad habit...sincerely when i read what you said i wondered....since when i am I biting my nails?? sincerely i can not remember the day i started...but i can tell you that being a girl it is horrible to have ugly nails...everybody got used to the fact that i am a bit abnormal...i did the same...practically i had no nails at all....
So..as far as i observed myself i am a very nervous person...and by biting my nails i calmed down in a way...Smoking didn't work, i took destressing pills..didn't work at all.
I don't know in what certain situation do you find yourself biting yr nails. I found myself dooing it while reading, while having butterflies in my stomach..like before exams..or while waiting for the results..generally in great stress situations..
So..in my family it was a hobby that everybody had in a certain way...but they all got rid of it..but me...
It is a few weeks since i decided that i had stop...why?? because my fiance has been smoking for years...he decided he would stop but could't do it all alone. so i said that if he made an effort i would too...and my nicotine were my nails..so I had to give up too. It was't easy and i had no ideea what to do..because i felt the need...
I found in shops nail strenghtening products.;and more interresting some which have a very bad taste but which help nails regenerate quite quickly.
So i bought a maniqure set, i polished as fine i coud my bitten nails. and then i used the product.
All i had to care about was to be aware that my nails won't broke,, or exfoliate so i won't bite the small pieces again.
So that's my story...now the only problem is that i have 2 that are quite diformed..but they are healing...little by little...
Hope i was useful for you...and let me know if i can help you with something else.
Bye

yes-it's dirty- you're hands touch everything and ur putting them in ur mouth-not mentioning how ugly bit nails look even on a guy- get a hot pepper and rub your nail only on the inside (seeds etc) -just don't touch ur eyes-or put clear nailpolish on-it tastes yucky
Stuck on polo's instead.
Try chewing a pen !
also rub ginger or pepper on ur nails ..
Stick them in something really strong that tastes really bitter. I have no idea what but if you're fingers taste nasty, you won't want to put them anywhere near your mouth.
Put a matte natural polish or ridge filler on them. It will help them grow a bit %26amp; you will hate biting it off...
Make sure it's matte or else it will look girly.
paint clear nail polish on the nail that you bite the most. and yes if you've bit them for so long, theirs a possibility that you have some teeth problems because of it. maybe i'm wrong and you have perfect teeth, but the truth is it CAN damage your teeth and besides the habit isn't too attractive. hope this helps =)
apply nail bite to your nails
I Guess Try Not To Think About It.
i have the same problem and i start getting really bad stomach aches when i bite them. there is some stuff that make your nails taste horrible and its hard to get rid of too soo try that
Try wearing gloves. That is the best advise I can think of. Good luck.
you can buy a special nail polish which come uo clear but has such a vile taste to it when you go to bite it tasted so rankl you think again. i was also going to suggest getting false nails as taht stops you chewing your own nails but from looking at your avatar youre a man and i donr think you will be too happy waering false nails lol
THINK OF ALL THE GERMS GOING IN YOUR MOUTH.!!!!!!! YUMMY.
There are some products,nail polishes which are for this reason and taste bad,also you could put artificial strong nails that make it difficult to eat them BUT everything depends on you, on how badly do you want to quit his habit! You don't have to use anything just believe in you and stop it...! Needs power and strong will ;o)
you dont quit bitting your nails i have been for years
Scratch your bare butt hole and you won't bite your nails. The stink will remind you of the nastiness.
Get some clear nail polish. Then, when you go to bite you have a nasty taste in your mouth. Or, I believe there are products out there that you can put on your nails that, when you bite them, you have a bitter taste in your mouth.
Just stop that's what I did. Good luck.

How do you stop biting your nails?
I've tried painting them with nail polish, but all I do is peel that off and bite them again. I know some guy came up with a cure, but I don't have the money for that.How do you stop biting your nails?
there's this nail polish you can get that makes your nails taste really bad when you bite them but i forgot what it's called.How do you stop biting your nails?
I can't polish my nails, I just end up picking at it and peeling it off and it takes the top layer of my nails off too. I started keeping a nail file with me and filing my nails when I am in the mood to bite. I just file enough to reshape them etc. I think that by concentrating on shaping them and making them pretty I've gotten out of the habit of biting. Supposedly if you do or don't do something for two weeks, you will have broken an old habit and started a new one. My nails have grown out nicely. They were kind of brittle and would break a lot but I found information on-line about keeping them moisturizing them to keep them from breaking. I now put lotion on my hands and work it into my fingernails every day. They have stopped breaking so much.
Learn to relax. Try meditation, yoga, deep breathing, therapy. You can take a class for that. You can also use some supplements that will help you relax (like Bliss http://www.marketamerica.com/pulse99/ind鈥?/a> )
it's an OCD issue......i suggest you ask your doctor.
Put hot pepper underneath them. It should work.

Safest way to hold a kitten when clipping his nails?
I have a kitten who squirms and squirms if I go to cut his nails. He's still very small and hard to hold on to. Whats the safest way, if I have no one around to help me, to hang onto him to cut his nails without me hurting him/him hurting himself from all the wiggling?Safest way to hold a kitten when clipping his nails?
Wrap him in a towel and only take the paw you need out.Safest way to hold a kitten when clipping his nails?
You should invest in these things called (soft paws) they are rubber slips that fit over the kittens claws this is a much safer alternative to cutting his nails (you could also take him to a groomer). hope this helps.bebo

HELP! Is there an easy way to hammer small nails (straight) into insulation around door frames? I can't hold
them - they are too small!HELP! Is there an easy way to hammer small nails (straight) into insulation around door frames? I can't hold
Needle nose pliersHELP! Is there an easy way to hammer small nails (straight) into insulation around door frames? I can't hold
Go to the hardware and ask for a magnetic tack hammer the head is magnetized and will hold the nail on it and you just tack it in place and then finish hammering it in.
Buy a arrow staple gun for about 12.00
Well, I would get a cordless drill, and a small (1 or 1.5mm) hss metal bit, thats just a teeny bit smaller than the nails. Pre-drill (where you intend each nail to go) the holes to about half the depth of the length of the nail. They should go in nice and straight.
get some needle nose pliers and hold the nail in them and whack away
use a nail gun!
use sticky tac - put a gob, push the nail in where you want it and hammer, then remove sticky tac.
A small nail or brad gun would be best.
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=pr鈥?/a>
small tooth comb
If its going to be covered with other materials you may be able to just simply tape it there.
Use a wall stapler.
Use an electric brad nailing gun.
Get a small plastic bag (Like a zip lock) stick the nail through the bag. It will hold the nail. Now hold the bag a safe distance so you don't hit your finger when hammering. I'm not sure what you are doing with insulation and nails near trim, but good luck with it!
Stick the nail through a piece of paper as a ';handle'; till you get the nail started.
Can you hold something larger like a clothespin? If so, just clip the clothespin around the nail or screw, and hold the clothespin in place and hammer away!!
use your roach clip
Besides hemostats or something like that, there is a tool that has a hollow tube that is springloaded that holds trim nails in it that you hold in the palm of your hand.

How do I stop biting my nails?
I always bite my nails and it's beginning to annoy me cause my fingernails always look gross. Is there something to stop this addiction? Thanks!How do I stop biting my nails?
I just stopped biting my nails. What I did is I was promised by a friend that she and her mom would take me to a nail place and get them done. The only way they would take me is if I stopped biting my nails. If something like that doesn't work, there is also a nail polish you can buy at a drug store that you put on and when you go to bite your nails, you get a bad taste so you stop.How do I stop biting my nails?
There used to be some kind of stuff that you could paint on your nails that was a clear polish, but it tasted really really gross. The whole point was when you went to bite the nails, the nasty taste put you off. My mom was going to try this with me when I was a kid. Instead, she bought me a charm bracelet, and a beautiful ring. She felt if other people looked at my jewelry, and additionally, if I did, maybe it would add additional focus onto my good features and make me take this negative emphasis off what I was doing to destroy my looks. I went round and round on this ';cycle'; for some years, and one day in High School, I decided I just was sick and tired of having trashy looking nails. Aren't you-----really? I don't know if you are a professional person, or what the deal is, but maybe, you should go get an artificial set put on, and see if they look nice to you--nice enough for you to keep your mouth off of them. I am not trying to insult you, or be mean. It has to be embarassing, and if you have a semi-instant ';cure';, of sorts, it might give you some willpower. Then yours can grow underneath.
i think you should go out and buy the nastyest lotion you can and put them around your fingers.so everytime you try to bite your finger nails the lotion will come in the way and stop you from biting your nails!
There is a brand of clear nail polish specifically to help people stop biting their nails. It tastes nasty, so then they won't want to bite their nails.
get a manicure once a week for 2 monthes. then ur nails are 2 pretty to bite. also u will think of how much money u are spending!!!!
Start wearing Bite No More or Bite Free. It has helped me. I used to have to wear it all the time. It helps your nails grow faster, i think. At the present, my nails are long and they, for once, didn't get that way because I used Bite Free. I didn't use a single drop. But, really, that Bite Free stuff is great for long fingernails and it's not very expensive. You don't have to use it as frequently as the bottle says. Once / day or every other day would probably suffice. I have had one bottle for at least a year and a half. It it just now starting to run out.
You can find it at a local drug store--5 second Bite Free Nail Treatment. It's only $2.99
Good luck!
PS~This stuff tastes terrible! lol
yeah find a piece of gum or some candy to chew on when you are thinking about biting on your nails that should do he trick.
yeah there is this brand of nail vanish that taste mingin and then you want bite them thats how horrible its is
I used to bite my nails alot! I quit about four months ago, COLD TURKEY and WILL POWER! You have to have the will to stop. It's bad for your teeth (grinding movement wears down your teeth), it's dirty (there is alot of gunk under your nails), and it looks real bad. Good luck!
It is surely a habit and habits can be broken. Use acrylic or some nail wrap for a while and during that time you will stop. Habits usually take about 3 to 7 days to break. Try using the nail wraps for at least one month.
The nail polish only works for some people. My grandma tried it on me when I was a kid and yes it does taste extremly nasty but since I've always been a very nervous %26amp; fidgety person I would wind up picking it off. Plus if you eat any foods with your hands forget it. If you accidently get that taste in your mouth it ruins it.
I did figure out what I was doing that would make me bite my nails. If I sit down to watch I movie I bite. If I'm concentrating on something hard I bite. If a nail chips or peels I bite.
Quiting nail biting is like quiting smoking (minus the nicotine withdrawls). Keep you hands busy and keep them neat. I can't afford to go get manicures so I do it at home, something I can do while watching tv. Keep a GOOD pair of nail clippers %26amp; emery board handy at all times in case of any breaks. I have a set in my purse %26amp; in my car. This will keep you from biting it off. Have a coach. Mine is my 4 year old daughter anytime she sees me I hear ';Mommy quit eating your fingers'; .Having someone else draw attention to helps believe me.
Yeah I do this too So I just get acrylics put on they look pretty and I never bite them Good luck I know it is hard to stop.

How do you stop biting your nails?
I have a huge habit of biting my nails, and I need it to stop. This habit has been going on for years! I didn't care before, but now I am not a young child and appearance matters to me. I am in 7th grade and I want pretty nails. But that'll never happen with my short nails. I need tips, and fast!How do you stop biting your nails?
Stop doing it! Polish them so when you bite them, you bit off polish ant that's not really something you want to do. Or get fake acrylic nails because you can't really bite those off.How do you stop biting your nails?
Go to a salon and get your nails done, maybe get a french manicure. You won't want to ruin it, so you wont bite them. Maybe try putting something on your fingers like vinegar. Or you can even do your own nails, which will hopefully keep you from biting them.
Everytime you bite your nails, get yourself to stop and eventually you wont be biting anymore :)

I bit my nails for 30 years and just stopped 3 months ago. I tried hypnosis, painting my fingers with hotsauce, chewing gum, polishing my nails, wearing gloves and none of it worked. Then about three months ago I used a system that help me identify when I was biting my nails like a trigger. Some people use a rubberband on their wrist and snap it when they are going to bite their nails. I did not use a rubberband, I used a verbal trigger.
Every person needs to figure out what works for them. As you can see I did alot of trial and error before I actually stopped. But part of your battle is already won...you want to stop. My 11 year old has no interest in quiting. Check out this article for more ideas on how to quit.
here are some ideas: get those fake long nails so every time you are about to bite them, they're there to remind you to stop, or you could try putting hot sauce or dirt in/on them. Hope I helped! Good luck!
I bit my nails all of my life until I was out of college...
the only way I have been able to stop biting mine is by keeping them painted all of the time !
I
they look prettier that way all around !
good luck!!!
