I constantly bite, and pick my nails. It is so annoying becuase i do it without even realizing, and afterthe nail is already off i notice what I'm doing. I play piano so i can't get fake nails. How can i stop doing this? What should i do?

aa i had the same problem (piano playing and all)!! If you dip the ends of your fingers in nail-polish remover (unscented is good, but if you don't mind the smell, scented is ok too) you'll stop pretty quickly (trust me it tastes awful). Just make sure you wash your hands before you eat. It's also good because after it dries it won't burn your eyes if you rub them on accident. You could also try putting a heavy coat of nail polish on so it feels funny when you bite down. If it's not working, wrap the ends of your fingers in white medical tape for a bit. It may look a little funny, but you'll figure out how not to bite your nails pretty quickly.

Since you are doing this absent mindedly, the only thing I can think of is to dip your fingers into something that you will taste as soon as you start biting your nails. The problem with that is if you do something like hot sauce and then you rub your eyes, boy will you be in trouble, ouch!!! What about wearing gloves? You can take them off when doing something like playing piano and when you are done, put them right back on. Whenever you start to bite nails you won't be able to do it. In a week or two you should be on your way to breaking this habit.

Go get a manicure every week. Once you see how nice your nails are, and realize how much you spend, you will stop biting them.

They have nail polish that you can use that will make it taste really bad whenever you bite your nails.
