I feel like I have tried everything...the bitter stuff didn't work for me...I don't even realize I am doing it and even bite the skin around the nail. Yuck.

I have a good method that worked for me and has worked for many friends.
Choose one nail. I started with the little finger of my left hand. Don't bite it. All the other nails are fair game, just leave that one alone and chew the rest. It is easy to do.
As the nail grows, shape it so that it looks good and to stop it breaking but munch away on the other fingers.
When you have one nail sorted, pick another and do the same thing. Again you have eight nails to chew, just leave your special two alone. Take your time, shape and admire the nails and when you are ready, move to nail three.
Most people will have stopped biting their nails by nail four and I know of no-one who has gone beyond nail five.
It is your own will power that stops you biting your nails but you build up to it in very easy stages. Try it, you have nothing to lose.

Just imagine guys looking at your hands and saying uggh.. Now. Carry a nail clipper set with you and never bite. If you break a nail..pull out the clipper and trim even.. Get a file and shape your nails. Bit mine for years.. No longer do it..but I never put them near my face. Clip them when they get too long or start to break
Pamper your hands. .Keep them moist too.

you already know what you're able to do? stop getting to know, bypass out and discover a chemist (or drug keep...I dunno what they might call it on your u . s . a .), and discover a nail polish there in particular for nail biting. once you place it on, it extremely is sparkling and un-noticable. yet once you bypass to chew your nails...BAM! The flavor is unfavorable. It tastes like abode paint mixed with banana. VERY DISGUSTING. you may in basic terms flavor it nonetheless, no longer scent it, so do no longer hardship with reference to the fragrance making you unwell. That helps lots with nail biting. Use it till you stop completly, have confidence me, it extremely works. it extremely is non poisonous, by how.

Get yourself a pair of stylish gloves (maybe satin). That way you can look chic without revealing that you're trying to cure yourself of an embarassing habit. :)

Put some chili paste there. The burn will help you realize you are doing it.
