Fuck, I do that too. Really hurts when it's dried and you accidentally tear the skin in the morning. I also bite on my nails. A lot. The worst part about biting your nails is when you manage to chip in a bit on the nail and you just have to tear off the damaged "layer", which results in lots of pain when you get to the edge of the nail.
I bite my fingernails but my fingers sure as hell don't look like the ones in the OP. Mine just look like they are shortened nails. They're not deformed or anything.
yah now tht i think of it i chew on random things alot of things

[QUOTE=mysteryman;21405463]I chew the skin off my fingers, the skin off my lip, the skin off my cheeks, the skin off my toenails, i bite my toenails, bite my fingernails, i pop every zit i get, even nodules which are under the skin. I have a habit of singing to myself about my surroundings, i tend to flail my arms about a lot in private, when alone i usually make weird faces as i do everything, i talk to myself constantly, i have a lot of OCD moments as well, where i have to walk a certain way or do something in a specific sense, oh i almost always find myself hunched over when sitting in a chair.
That's all i think....[/QUOTE]
wow i actually do alot of those things to

Well guess we're on the same page then.
i used to bite my nails but then my braces saved them
I crack my knuckles a lot, or try cracking them even though I know they won't crack.
And pick at my lip
I can't break my nails with my teeth but then again I've never tried, glad I can't though because its gross as fuck
Not a bad habit.. but a pretty obssesed by habit:
I wash my hands at least three times after I touch something that leaves smell (especially) on my hand, that isn't soapy or something.
I cut my nails with my other nails. I do not know anyone else who does this.
I also play drum beats with my mouth. Smacking my teeth together is the snare, hitting the top of my mouth with my tongue is the bass drum, and breathing outwards softly sorta sounds like a hi-hat.
I used to bite my nails too until i got braces
I compulsively crack my knuckles, thumbs, toes, and knees. And whenever I let my beard grow out a little I can't help but scratch it.

This.
page 5 snipe
I tend to do it if I'm bored, but also if I finish something at school, or plain because the nails have gotten so bad, that something on there could provoke me and I would like it gone, so I'd just bite it off.
I pick my nose a lot.
I usually find some cool shit up there.

Gold mucas?
I chew wires.
I randomly say "penis" to anyone who crosses by me when I'm bored. "Hey, hey, yo! Hey, hey, hey, Shane. Hey, Shane. Penis, Shane. Penis"

Penis!
I'm 15 and have been biting my nails since I can remember. A few weeks ago, one my nails grew quite long (how did I not notice it and bite it, I don't know) but I used it as motivation. Right now, my nails are perfect length and look perfectly normal.
I bite the heads off bats.
When I lick my wounds to avoid making a mess or waste paper towels. I bite my nails, and cut my toe nails with my finger nails after showering.
Hey guys I bite my nails alot, sometimes it hurts like a bitch.
Here is a tip, if you bite your nail and tear it off to where it tore off too much and you have to tear the hangnail out it's going to hurt like a bitch.
Solution: Take super glue and put it where your nail part used to be, then push the skin on the front of your finger towards the nail essentially eliminating that gap, it feels a little better and makes handling objects feel alot less painful. The glue will come off as the nail slowly grows back.
[QUOTE=plappy03;20353475]I need to stop biting my fingernails. Does anybody have any good suggestions that actually has worked???[/QUOTE]
Try clipping them all the time until you have nothing left to bite on. That sounds like a really bad idea but honestly I bite my nails more often when they're really long, so maybe that would help break the habit?
I chew a lot of chewing gum, that's about it.
When I'm doing nothing I spin my hair around my fingers untill it knots and gets stuck that way.
I also bite my nails
Man, biting my nails is my lifelong habit. I also shake my legs a lot!
I tend to talk and sing to myself too.
I crack my wrists alot without even knowing i am :S
I sometimes bite the edges of my mouth :)
[QUOTE=WuWei;20348151]theres some kind of paste or gel you can put on 'em, it's supposed to taste bitter and nasty as fucks sake itself and should force yourself to stop.[/QUOTE]
Yup, i've tried that, did not work, i just got used to the taste.
When I am bored, I have a habit of eating every single food item in the entire house. I'm like a fucking locust. I don't even do it consciously.
I usually poke my wounds alot like if I have a papercut I would press on it or tear the scab off.
Don't worry, OP. Your finger nails look just like mine. I bite them all the time.
