Get a better composure.
Start using that nail polish with makes the nails taste odd.
Start using nail polish, it stinks anyway.
Start paying to a jar when you do it, and mark the money for charity, if you still bite your nails when the jar is full.

Zega, it is a bad habit. It does not need to be of any use.
Call it a compulsion, or something.

Never bit my nails, bites my fingers if I am angry/sad/depressed/in pain...

Do you know that americans consume at least a few ounces of poop every year due to biting their nails. No Joke!

you realize even if you wash your hands you get stuff from the bathroom under your nails, so by biting them you are eating your own poo.

I don't bite on my nails anymore, it's a habit I'm over, but whenever I'm bored I self-consciously start biting things I'm holding like forks and spoons...

It's just a bad habit...very bad habit, it also seems your addicted to it. I would agree try to use nail polish makes biting your nails odd because of the taste of nail polish.

i'll admit. I used to do that. horrible habbit. everyone tried to make me quit. I stopped now, and stopping was really hard. LOl its like smoking. my advice? nail polish at first. if it does work (like it didn't for me) use tape. huh? tape? you ask? put a bit of scotch tape (then no one notices) on the ends of all your nails so you literally can't bite them cause of this "lil shield".

worked for me. best of luck on quitting.

dude i hate that... i bite my nails when im nervous or watching a movie or things like that... sometimes i just bite them because the last time i did it i left a little piece hanging and it catches on things... i know that sounds really gross and yes it is really gross... when i was a young kid my mom bought me this stuff to put on my nails kinda like nail pollish and it was really hot and tasted like the rear end of a pig lol... if i could find that stuff and it didnt smell bad or made my nails look orange i would def use it... im sure now they have non scented and non colored ones so if that would help maybe look into that

I used to be a huge nail biter until about a month ago. Try chewing gum. You'll first want to bite your nails a lot, but chewing gum somehow prevents you from doing it. It takes about 21 days to break a habit, so try going 21 days without biting your nails. Also, I've never tried this, but try taping your fingertips, that will prevent you from biting your nails off, even if you try. Hope it helps
