What are the disadvantages of the habit of biting your nails?

Question

I've been biting my nails all my life and I don't know how to stop.

Answer 1

i do the same thing and i also pick at the skin on my thumb. the reason i do it unconsciously when i'm bored and my hands aren't doing anything. a way to stop is to pay close attention to what your hands do when your not really thinking about it. you can also buy a special kind of nail polish that tastes horrible so you don't bite them. of you could just put band-aids on them. but that would be a little embarrassing.

Answer 2

i chew the skin off my thumb and i cant stop it u should stop cause most people are repulsed by that

Answer 3

Biting your nails make you hands look bad.  You should stop really soon, it is a nasty habit.  

Answer 4

cut your toes off...it'll help  u from biting your toe nails. greasy toes? ..anyone???

Answer 5

ive bitten my nails all my life too. and trust me, i  would bite them down to the quick to the point of bleeding. it was awful. my mom would always get mad at me. but as i got older (im 16 now) i eventually grew out of it, now i have nice, long and healthy looking nails. it sounds strange, but getting over that nasty habit has actually improved my confidence.

you just have to make yourself stop.
