That's not good, you must bite yours a hell of a lot more than I do. Do you bite them until they bleed?

Don't worry about it, I do it too. Probably not as bad as you by the sounds of it, but at least it makes your New Years resolution easy to decide each year.
My resolution since I was like in sixth grade has been to stop biting my nails.

My girlfriend has the same habit, but she stopped because she was putting nail polish on her fingers, even clear stuff. Try it.

Wow, your hands must like, hurt really bad all of the time.
I can't think of anything you can do if even the nail polish didn't deter you.
Bandaids on ALL of your fingers but that would not work so well.

yeah i dont know why i do it.... i've done it since i was a little kid and its gotten worse with age...... i actually slowed down when i had braces and they got better but it was only cuz i couldnt bite them with the braces on.... now they're worse than ever.......
haha i dont think band aids would work...... i wouldnt be able use my fingerprints!
would some form of doctor be able to help you think or would that be a waste of time/ money

Maybe a doctor could help you. You never know, it seems like it's compulsive behavior so maybe they'd know what to do. Braces made me stop too and it was horrible.

I don't bite my nails, i cut em with my other nails and pull up a thin strip when i'm stressed.
I got into the habit then started carrying chewing gum with me everywhere instead

I can't even remember the last time when my nails weren't stubs and I've tried everything to stop. Last week I got my wisdom teeth pulled out and they had to cut into my jaw muscle so I couldn't open my mouth for a week. Now my nails are the longest they have ever been! Lol. Go figure it takes something drastic to get me to stop for a little while. I'm trying really hard now to stay away from them.

I've been trying to stop biting my nails for more than a year. People keep telling me how disgusting it is. Try always having nail polish on so you can scrape that off or try that nail polish that tastes really bad. OR wrap your nails in cellotape or band aid or something.

You mean like that pussy ass Criss Angel trick he filmed before hand and ran the feeds to the television because they arent going to waste cameras on a trick, while he ran down the stairs and out to the side where no one was allowed to go and had a Carl Buddig Ham sandwich with a glass of skim milk and waited for it to implode then stood there getting dust on himself to make it look like he was in it, but in reality he wasn't. (Nice run on sentence asshole) Also you mean like the fact that his mic was still on and in perfect working condition for falling and crumbling in a building. Weak. No.

I used to bite mine to nubs, I stopped because I heard biting really hurts your teeth and you can seriously chip or fuck them up. I still bite if I'm really stressed or really really tired. I fixed it by carrying a nail file with me EVERYWHERE. I wouldn't leave the house without one. when you get the urge to bite, break out the file. If you've subconsciously started to bite, file the nail down to it's smooth. it really helps because they're nowhere to get a 'grip' on to bite.
Once my nails started growing back I used sally hansen Maximum growth every night. it makes them grow and makes them pretty strong, so even if you get the temptation to bite you either can't or they'll start to look so nice that you won't want to. It also helps because the nail polish comes off pretty easily once you've got two or three coats on there so instead of biting I'll pick at the polish. I know it's basically switching one vice for another but at least you won't get ingrown nails this way

I mean i dont think you wanna walk around with hot sauce around your fingers like they did to me when i was little about sucking my thumb.
Idk, sorry sounds bad. =/ and i know its bad...play with a rubberband on your wrist instead. Like whenever you get the urge to bite pull on the rubber band. Or chew ice instead

As far as maybe helping them look nicer again, take biotin. its a vitamin that makes your hair and nails grow. Sounds to me like you should see a doctor, it sounds borderline OCD.
