How do you stop biting your nails and fingers?

Well, this may sound gross but i need help. I have bitten my nails forever and i want to stop, but i cant. I don't just bite my nails i tear at the skin around my nails. My mom says its stress but she doesn't know where from, i don't either. How do i stop?


Plz no answers about how gross it is.How do you stop biting your nails and fingers?
Well, I used to ALWAYS bite my nails. There is this nail polish that my mother made me wear, its clear and you can get it at a pharmacy. I used the one called Control it, and it makes your nails nard and so sour its just disgusting to bite them. Another product my friend used was ';Nibble no more';


You could also just always paint them and keep them perfect that way, sometimes that helps :)How do you stop biting your nails and fingers?
This was a hard habit for me to break, it took me three different tries to finally get this, i tried nail polish first, that didnt really work... so next i tried bandaids, they kept falling off... so i finally tried a stress ball and kept it with me at all times, and i would pull it out of my pocket every time i got bored, so eventually my stress almost went away and my friends noticed a difference in my attitude (in a good way) and i had better nails too...
ok we are alike in that department uhm I guess there is this nail polish stuff it goes on clear and when you bite your nails it leaves a sour taste in your mouth,I have no clue what it is called but you can get it at a Drug store like Rite Aid,Walgreens,I'm sure Wal-mart has it if you looked maybe even Dollar General or Family Dollar,that and protect 1 nail at a time like your pinky..if you wanna bite your nails do it on the one your NOT protecting
I used to bite my nails too.


My mom told me to just keep going one at a time. And that it takes about 30 days to break a bad habit. Maybe you can have someone follow you and when you are about to bite a nail... make them yell at you. About a month later, the habit was just gone. I couldn't bite them anymore. (And now i got braces so it would be really hard to bite them anyways.
I used to do that when I was 4. I stopped at around.. 10 i think. However, I peel my nails. I hate clipping them. It annoys me for some reason lol. Then afterwards, I file my nails and then it becomes nice and smooth. And how I stopped was easy. Will power. I knew it was kind of weird.. to bite my nails so I just stopped. Everytime I felt like biting my nails, I sat on my hands and watched TV.
Soak your fingertips in something you don't like. Like Vinegar or something it will leave a bad taste on your fingertips and you won't want to bite your nails anymore but make sure it's something you DON'T like


hope i helped =)
i used to do that ALL the time. if u paint you nails u probably will stop because it chips at it and the chips will get into your mouth and it wouldnt taste so good. haha. try it out :) hope that helps!!! :D
ive stopped and here is my method: stop biting one nail at a time. and then 2 nails, then 3, and until you stop completely. u will see ur nails growing and it will motivate u even more. hope this helps
