Ever since I was a kid I've had this habit. I'm 22 years old now. I've tried to quit several times but I do it unconsciously. When I'm nervous or in a stressful situation before I realize I've already bitten my nails. I really want to quit this, but for me is even harder than quitting PMO because I actually do not even think about it. Anyone has some tips? Have you been able to quit biting your nails? How did you do it? Thank you very much.
I believe there's stuff you can buy that you apply to your nails which makes it taste REALLY bad. I don't know the name but maybe someone else does or u can find it with google.
I quit biting my nails years ago. Now I have to cut them because they get too long. I stopped when I had an epiphany about it. It's impossible to bite your nails if you don't put your fingers in your mouth. I actually sat on my hands or kept them in my pockets for three weeks and I never bit my nails again. Carry nail clippers with you so you can fix a broken or snagged nail without biting.
Buy a bag of sunflower seeds and when you get the urge to start biting your nails, eat some seeds instead.
