Nail Biting

[masta247]

Do you do that?

I've read online that it affects 45% adults yet most people I see have really neat fingernails.

I have to confess that sometimes I do it subconsciously. I'm doing that while not being fully aware of it and then find out that I did it and it was wrong so I find it quite hard to control h:

Nope.

 

[Casey]

Nope.

 

[Stred]

Nope.

I don't have nails. Titanium claws.

 

[Shadows]

No. Just cut them when they are long.

It's actually nasty at the thought of it. I'm not saying MY nails have scum and dirt, but biting them would just put that into your mouth..

 

[Flipmo]

Have done it subconsciously... Usually during exam period also.

You just had to fuck it up.

Ill sometimes do it when Im at the movies or right before I play basketball. I dont really bite em off though kinda chew on em lol

 

[Farzin]

I used to then got braces and with it lost the habit.

yeah i bite my nails bad. i have since i was a kid. i can't stop. and when i get drunk, i bite them down to nothing....to the point where i can't even touch my finger without pain. it sucks

Nope.
It disgusts me, all the things your fingers touch then you chew on your nails, ugh. I couldn't do it if I wanted to.

Word same shit...lmao @ the drunkness biting too I do that shit too, not that bad anymore I try 2 watch it.

Iunno what it is but its prolly one of my oldest habits; I cant fucking stop. My mom used 2 offer me money when I was young 2 get me 2 stop - but that didnt work. (She tried it too w/ gaining weight but my metabolism wanted me 2 stay broke)

I cant fucking stand it but cant stop it. Even when I just get done working and my nails are covered in ink (I deliver papers) - I still do it...I think of how nasty it is while Im doing it, but I still do it. Honestly I think its part of the OCD that I havent been diagnosed with.

Certain shit I just HAVE to get perfect. For example, if I take a shower/wash my hands - I have to be COMPLETELY dry afterwards...no trace of wetness anywhere lol. Same thing w/ biting my nails, itll feel crooked/look crooked (prolly cuz of me biting them) so Ill start biting them to even em out and then pretty much dont stop til I cant bite no more.

I do it a LOT too out of nervousness/anxiousness (Id say more anxiousness than nervous...intense movies, dialogues, waiting for a show, etc)

I used to bite my toenails as a kid sometimes but I cant reach there anymore lol...but still pick/rip em a lot of times as opposed 2 clipping them.

LMAO. I think it's more nervous habits like you said...when you're anxious.

I bite my lip like a fiend. That's probably why I don't bite my nails.

 

[Bigg Limn]

bitin ur lip can be sexy tho...def nothing sexy bout nail biting lol

something I def. do as a nervous habit its ..hard 2 describe mebbe - but I like suck air in thru the corner of my mouth...kinda like if U got some drool goin on and ur suckin it back in? lol Never any drool but I jus suck air in @ random...fuckin annoying but I dont even know Im doing that shit.

...actually I think that started when I broke up w/ a longtime girlfriend lol

 

[Rahim]

no i don't do it.
