I have a habit of biting my finger nails. I started around 8 and I'm 23 i bite them every day. The only nail i have is about 1/4 to 1/2 above the white part close to the cuticle. Sometimes i bite the skin on the tips of my fingers also. I do not eat them just bite. As a matter of fact i have 3 places that are raw on my fingers. Don't know why i do it maybe bad nerves.

I had that habit, too! Think of everything that you could use long finger nails, like getting great manicures and getting things open easier. Figure out if there is something that makes you want to bite your nails. Try keeping your hands busy with a small ball or stuffed animal. If all else fails, at drugstores like CVS, there is polish for your fingernails that is horrible tasting. Try to stop because you can get really bad diseases from biting your fingernails. I hope this helps

I am a nail technician and there are serious medical and health issues that may change your mind. First of all you can cause serious problems with your digestive track. Finger nails are not digestive. Also the germs that live under your finger nails are horrendous.
It also can cause irreplaceable damage to your nail beds. Once you are a nail biter you open up the nail bed that has many layers. Germs collect and are trapped under those layers and you put them in your mouth.
I recently read in a nail tech publication that every time you go to the restroom if you are a nail bitter the fecal matter rest inside those layers that are exposed from bitten nails. It can not be washed away. So think about it every time you put your fingers in your mouth were your hands have been.

i bite my fingernails, and i like doing it. Its been a habit of mine since i was six or so, so its hard to stop something ive done for 10 years. I dont really feel the need to stop, though. My nails arent really short or anything, and when I bite them its usually just when they need to be clipped or filed. I dont remember the last time i used a tool to do my nails, teeth are the way to go.

I used to bite my nails then i used to see people with nice long nails with beautiful nail varnish colours and think if i had long nails my nail varnish would look better so i stopped biting them by only allowing myself to bite my thumb nails, now i don't bite any and i have long but manageable nails which do look great painted, and i hate it when i break or chip a nail
but i must say its not that bad a habbit better then smokeing!

I do not think any one LIKES to bite their nails, but rather it is a habit, and I have seen year old children bite their nails, and I was taught to bite the babies nails rather than use a sharp instrument to cut them as baby's do not hold still, I was a nail biter for about 35 years and it was difficult to break the habit. hope this helps. also I find that people that bite their nails tend to hide their hands as it is not attractive to look at

No, I don't have a habit of biting it.
I had a bad habit of ripping my nails off.
What I did was I wore gloves, kept my hands in my pocket, gave other things for my hands to do so it wouldn't be idol.
For biting nails, paint nail polish and rub something disgusting tasting onto your nails so when you bite it, it'll be nasty and hopefully you'll stop.

I have been biting my nails since i could chew. I think its disgusting and i wish i could stop... i guess i just need more will-power.... kinda weird that you like it though, I've always been very self conscious about it.
