I stopped biting my nails by sitting on my hands. After awhile I suddenly realized I was not only not sitting on my hands anymore, but I had also not been biting my nails.
I did this for a week.
I haven't bitten my nails since then. That was back when I was 11. I am 44 now.

I have always bit my nails and it took me 18 years to finally kick the habit!! I went and had fake ones put on, but they really bothered me so i pulled them off but then i stopped. I think because i liked how i looked with nails i wanted to stop for myself.. good luck, also try doing constant movement with them. When you are busy normally you will stop biting your nails

We used to but hot sauce, or vinegar on my sisters hands, she still hates hot sauce, but she didn't stop till she bit a whole in her thumbnail at the base so it had to grow all the way up, I guess it was really painful, but she doesn't do it anymore, You could try what we did or just think about biting a whole in your fingernail.

lIke you I have tried everything, but my sister bought me a manicure voucher for my birthday last year and I was so determined to get the use of it that at last I have stopped biting. Best of luck.

would you bite your nails if they were manicured? maybe if they looked nice, you wouln't bite on them. i know i started developing that problem, and I got tips, and then I gradually stopped. Good luck.

Well since it embarrasses you, I give you my opinion when I see those stubby nails.
First impression
You masturbate, a lot and often.

u can stop and relax caz maybe it's from stress. u can tape ur hands with scoch tape (theclear kind) on weekends. and maybe just painting ur nails real pretty with ur fav color.
