I've always had the problem of biting nails and I can't seem to quit. I can't force myself to quit either.

Do any of you know a way to stop biting your nails?

This ought to help. Applying a deterrent always deters me.

Read that little page that knight linked you to. Also, think to yourself on how much bacteria that you are chewing when you do bite your nails. You should use a nailclippers if you do want to shorten your nails instead of biting them.

plus you have to cut your nails if you dont want to look like this:

It'll take years to get nails that long and you have to be extra cautious so you don't break one - so it's highly unlikely that nails would get that long...

I've never chewed on my fingernails.

My friend bought this nail polish. It is clear and you can't even tell it is there once it drys. It tastes very bitter so when you bite your nails you taste it and stop. It is used just for this problem. It worked for him really well.

A guy parading around in public wearing nail polish... Oh gosh. :P

I bit my index finger's nail off one time, just to see what it was like.

Let's just say that I'm never going to do that again.

If you force yourself to stop it takes a few weeks for you to get in a habit of not doing it.

I used to bite my nails when I was young but I eventually stopped the habit. My brother on the other hand still can't stop biting his nails. Even with a product that's supposed to stop nail biting, he still does it.

I used to bite my nails. I never really had a problem with it, I didn't want to stop and that was really all there was to it, but then I started rock climbing and stubby fingernails hurt, so I just stopped. I don't really know any specific way, I just told myself I wouldn't do it anymore.

I love biting my nails... I have anxiety up my A-hole and it is so soothing. I would not stop for the world! I also fumble with my ears a lot :P
