How do I stop biting my nails?
in Psychology ·
I was also a nail biter... And I mean, seriously, it was totally unconscious... For me, it was mostly tied to stress during high school.... During summer break, I actually managed to stop for short stretches... Eventually, I just decided to quit because I wanted my hands to look decent. That clear polish with the gross taste didn't help me at all, btw... I would’ve just made disgusting faces and kept biting anyway... I started painting my nails darker colors instead, and somehow that helped me stop... Sometimes I catch myself still running my nails against my teeth, but my self-control is much stronger now... I've been growing mine out for several months now, and I've become one of those people who loses their mind whenever a nail chips. 🎉
