Stop biting my finger nails

I hate the way my fingernails look. But it is all my fault cause I bite them when I am in deep thought or nervous about something.

I wish I could just stop!

This is one of my awful habits and i hate it, iv been biting my nails since i can not remeber. I thank i mostly do it out of stress and being worried all the time, its gotten so bad that when i dont have nails to bite i chew on my finger tips. My fingers look horrible because of it, this is a habit i hope to quiet but its really hard since i have been doing it most of my life. My girl has tried putting clear finger nail polish on them so if i do bite them it taste nasty, iv tried wearing gloves like when im driving. This will probably take some time to get over, iv tried just biting on one nail and not all so that only one looks bad then soon stop biting all at once. This is a really hard habit to stop cause you really dont thank about it most of the time. But i plan to try and stop today, good luck to me and all the others.

I’m 27 and it’s been going on for waaaay too long. Because I’ve done it for as long as I can remember the hardest part will be recognizing when I’m actually doing

I bite my nails when I’m bored or really nervous. So when I was in a 6 hour meeting at work (I’m the summer/university student whos kind of the go-for girl around the office) and I kept getting called on by my intimidating boss and the warehouse staff, I got really nervous… I’m going to have to paint them again so I don’t bite them.

I think I’ll count this as a success when I don’t bite my nails for 21 consecutive days: the amount of time to build a habit. Hopefully, I’ll stop biting them forever.

Think I’ll always chew them a bit to keep them at a decent length so I can still do stuff easily and play piano but now they’re at a nice length and there is no crazy short ones that I chewed because I was stressed :)

Still occasionally chewing a few but in general they are looking much healthier! few more weeks and hopefully I’ll be weened of this habit.

Chewed some of them last night :( But I was good this morning and filed them so all neat again and didn’t chew them like I usually would.

So far haven’t chewed them yet. I painted them and every time they go near my mouth I’m conscious of them so I don’t :)

I never chewed my nails until high school when I went back to playing piano and then had to keep them short. I cut them for a while and then just got bored and started chewing them and it’s been gradually getter worse as the years continue and have started chewing them when stressed.
So now after performance week they are ridiculously short and I’m going to make an effort to grow them longer (will still have to file/cut them for piano though).

now i have really pretty hot pink nail polish on my really pretty long unbitten fingernails!!!
