How to stop biting your nails?
in Health ·
I hope I’m actually in the right subforum here, because honestly, being new to this place, I haven't quite figured out the layout yet. I know there are threads floating around about nails and stuff, but I couldn't find a single direct answer to what I'm looking for, so I figured I'd just start my own thread. Basically, I’ve been a nail biter for as long as I can remember, though maybe just the last two or three years it hasn't been nearly as constant. My nails look pretty bad—they're really wide and sort of awkward. They grow out, sure, but they never seem to sit right against the finger, if that makes sense? They reach a certain length and then just kind of grow out sideways instead of following the shape of my fingertip. I really just want them to look normal, you know, slimmed down and longer. I know women use all those gel treatments and things, but I don't think that's really an option for guys like me, I guess 😁 I even heard some crazy stories about people pulling their nails out entirely so they can regrow them properly without the issues, so I was wondering if anyone here has actually tried something like that or if there’s some other way to fix this 🙂
