Biting your nails, and other bad habits! - General

I always touch my stomache all the time. Specially when with friends.

Got rid of a nail biting addiction for 16 years. Still pick my nose though...

I've stopped biting my nail for some reason. I still tear them off, but not so deep anymore oh and I drink milk right out of the carton even though I still live home. No one knows that, and I intend to keep i that way :ninja:

I eat scabs i pick off and chew the inside of my gum and tear skin

Article is true about pain and infection. Have you ever bitten your nails so hard the area where they are attacached to the skin hurts?

I actually have this: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia[/url] right now because I bite my nails. Stop doing it. Seriously. [editline]08:39PM[/editline] It hurts, so seriously, stop. I know I will.

Bite nails and constant tapping/drumming on everything, wrinkle my nose. I also have to smell a lot of things. Like all the food I eat, plants, spices and other stuff I get my hands on.

dry skin on my lip, nuff said.. :p

I stopped chewing my nails years ago but recently I can't stop stripping off little layers of skin from the inside of my mouth with my teeth. Something about it is just so satisfying.

You know, you can buy a nail polish that is clear but tastes utterly disgusting and repulsive. It's designed to break the habit of nail biting, I suggest you head over to your pharmacy.

[QUOTE=ryd00d;21548780]Don't worry, OP. Your finger nails look just like mine. I bite them all the time.[/QUOTE] Those fingers aren't mine :v: That's from wikipedia!

Unless you stop biting your fingernails, your fingertip will become green, give you a fever and form pus. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Paronychia.jpg/600px-Paronychia.jpg[/img] [editline]05:47PM[/editline] And they will HURT.

I have been biting my fingers for almost my entire life, so I don't think I'll get those kind of "symptoms"

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia[/url] can come any time, because it's an infection. Any open wound near your nail may give it to you, and frequently biting your nails will make wounds, where bacteria can come in and create an infection. Worst thing that can happen though is that a doctor has to cut your finger open and drag out your nail. [editline]09:18PM[/editline] So if your fingers start to swell near the nail, put some antibiotic cream on instantly, just to be sure, and if they continue swelling and become warm and hurting (put it next to your cheek, you'll feel if its warm), go to a doctor. [editline]09:18PM[/editline] I'm dead serious, you most likely won't like to get your nail pulled out. [editline]09:19PM[/editline] But seriously, just stop biting your nails now, and it will be okay. And I need to stop with posting stuff as I go. [editline]09:19PM[/editline] AKA a bad habit, so it's relevant. Fuck.

I sometimes bite my fingertips. Oh man my fingers will never get hard from playing guitarr if I bite em.

I don't bite my fingernails, I "saw" at them with my other fingernails. It's actually quite clean. Looks as if I have clipped them.

[QUOTE=TippZ;20347959]So, I have always been biting my nails, and I just stumbled upon a wikipedia article about the negative effects of biting them. Thing is, I just can't stop biting them! I know all about these negative effects but with all I've tried, I just can't stop biting them! I also have a bad habit where I bite off the "skin", inside my mouth! Does anyone have any tips for me and for the other nail biters out there? Anyone else got any bad habits that they might want to share? Please, share your stories![/QUOTE] Get this stuff called Nail Biter. You put it on your nails, and it is literally the most vile tasting shit in the world. You can't smell it and it's clear but it literally tastes worse than shit. It's vile, disgusting, horrible. Completely fixes your problem though. My sister used the stuff.

i bite my toe nails T__________T

I suffer from this. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/db/Psri.jpg[/img] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatophagia[/url] I should really stop.

Right now all my nails are feeling good and I have gone about a week and a half without biting any of them. Now I just need to start on not biting the inside of my mouth.

I used to bite the fuck out of my nails - my fingers were gross as hell. I guess I kind of grew out of it. I've got lots of bad habits, but nothing that fucks with my appearance like nail-biting.

I don't bite my nails, and I rarely even clip them. They are long as fuck and I love them. Although sometimes I can't help but pick at the long ones and tear them off.

I chew on pencils, I never get enough exercise, I drink too much soda, I sit infront of a computer way too long during the day, I never eat enough (1 small meal a day) and I have an unhealthy habit of internet porn. Wow, I'm going to try to fix a few of these, right after I finish download my porn for the night. [editline]05:48AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Incognito;21583252]I suffer from this. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatophagia[/URL] I should really stop.[/QUOTE] And this.

If I see a pen on the desk, I just have to pick it up and spin it around or tap it to something. I don't bite my nails though, I just sometimes rip them.

My sister always picks her nose and eats her mucas. It creeps me out and I said that she could get a weak immune system. She still does it.. I'm worried about her. Any tips?

I thought that my nail biting was bad. Holy shit.

I pick on my scabs sometimes when i'm bored.

I bite my lips a lot. Sometimes I look like a vampire. I crack my knuckles after a lengthy session on the computer. I click my neck to get a satisfying crunch. I shake my leg continuously when I sit down. I push the nails of my fingers down on a hard surface because I worry they might fall off. :c00l:

I still bite them. That article cured me

I used to bite my nails. Then I started trying to grow them out. So, after many failed attempts of growing them out due to me biting them. I kept trying, and now I've slowly stopped biting them. And now, I don't bite my nails any more. Even clipping them is a pain.
