Major question about biting fingers. help!?

Question

oh k no one laugh its true and I need help....how do you stop biting at the fingers....like I'll litterally eat my skin off my fingers and I've tried a lot of different things but I cant seem to stop and I usually bite until I either bleed or its right to soreness....so anyone have any answers on how to stop it?

Answer 1

i used to bite my nails til they were raw. but i quit.

i tried EVERYTHING!! i put tape on my fingertips, ect, but i just thought about the way they looked, so i slowly stopped thinking about them. try chewing gum or something. keep your mind off them.

Answer 2

I've been a bad nail biter too. Not as bad as you though.

I'd suggest putting something on your finger that you dont like the taste of that is still safe for you to taste. Like nail polish remover.

If that doesnt work you could put a bandaid on the fingers you bite and it wouldnt be as tempting chewing on the bandaid.

Dont worry about this being a silly question, its not. ALOT of people bite there nails. Its an incredibly strong habit too. so give it time<3
