Help im a nail bitter?

i've been bitting my nails for like ever and i cant stop they look pretty bad HELP!!!!!!!!!Help im a nail bitter?
Get acrylic nail, thats the only thing that works for me!Help im a nail bitter?
Chew gum instead...and put something nasty tasting on your nails...garlic...hot sauce...I don't know. Give it a couple weeks, and you should break the habit.
I don't bit my nails but I pick at/bite at the skin around my cuticles....especially my thumbs.





You can try meds for OCD like Paxil....this might help quell the anxiety that leads to your nail biting.
wash your hands in horrible smelling soap. seriously. you won't wanna lick them then. or spray them with perfume. that will taste bad.
I do the same thing. I have tried fake nails and bitter stuff, nothing works for me. I did have a job once where I had my hands in some pretty yucky stuff most of the time and that seemed to curb my nail biting at that time. hmmmm..... I had a friend who said her grandmother use to rub her fingers in chicken droppings when she was young, she learned real quick not to bite her nails! lol Let me know if you find something that works!
start smoking
think about all the germs and fungis under them! YUK!!!! if most people knew the germs that they carried on their hands and fingers they wouldn't put them anywhere near their mouths!
When I was a child and a teen I used to bite my nails too. It was pleasant and kept my mouth busy, and felt normal.





Everyone kept telling me to stop and I could not. But I decided in college I wanted nice nails. So I started painting them with nail polish and a top coat every other day. Then they started growing out and I just kept on polishing even sometimes every day. They not only started looking good but you have no temptation to bite them when they taste bad. That got me over the hump. Once I no longer bit them for a couple of weeks I knew I no longer wanted too.





I have been nail biting free for about 20 yrs now. What a relief and I show off my real nails. They look nice.
Put on gloves
me to they arent pretty i want to stop but i cant. this is a hard habbit to get out of!!!
There are products in the drugstore that help.What you do is apply it to your nails and when you bight on it,it tastes bad so you wont bite it.You can also treat yourself to a manicure as a treat for not biting your nails for a week.
You are trying to ';feel yourself';.
