Do you have a bad habit, like chewing your nails or saying ‘um’ too much when you talk?
Feel free to come here to talk about your difficulty. You will find sympathy, and maybe some helpful advice!
No prejudice from me. You can reveal what you see fit.
I, for one, chew my nails. Down to the pink skin underneath, sometimes. It hurts like ()!
(Not going to say that word.)
i used to chew the skin around my nails but I stopped now my bad habbits are clicking my ancles
interesting.
I chew the skin around my nails, to try to keep away from my nails :-\ I also chew on the inside of my mouth *looks heavenward guiltily* I guess I like to chew on myself.
the clicking ankles thing is interesting, Kammy. I wonder why people do things like that?
I dunno I think I have ocd so that might be the reason I also chew the skin in my mouth
I have to go goodnight
hi im back are you still there?

I have that biting nails problem too… and I can’t get out of it! Argh!! I have tried numerous different creams and stuff to stop the itching but nothing works… to make matters worse, my nails are actually split and don’t grow properly for some strange reason. Not even the doctors can figure it out… and I have very sensitive skin to boot so this is driving me crazy!
The one thing that does work is this ointment stuff the doctor gave me to rub in… but this medicine presents 2 problems of it’s own. 1 is that it’s flammable and the second thing is that it requires me to put gloves on regardless and wear them all day… I might have been able to do that in the winter but now it’s summertime…too warm for even white cotton gloves! Plus I can barely use my phone or the computer with those things!!! I can’t use this medicine because of all of that.
What can I do? My sister suggested wearing false nails… with my sensitive skin I don’t think that’s an option.

I don’t know anything about how people solve this, but is there something that’s bitter that you could put on your nails and that is not poisonous? Usually works. I’d suggest nail polish (clear maybe) but it’s not good to chew nail polish, obviously, and it might not be good for your sensitive skin.
@WarriorOfEden
I’m so sorry!
Maybe I can look into some things for you

Bitter? Oh yeah the doctor did tell me to try using this vitamin gel thing that you put on your nails to strengthen them… but it made it worse!! My sensitive skin didn’t like 2 brands of nail gel… so nope.
False nails are not a problem, if there were ones that don’t require glue to put them on. I don’t know, can you put on false nails without any sort of glue or whatever?
hmm… I pick scars and try to “peel” my nails. ( I don’t chew them)

I have been told that there self adhesive false nails that just stick to your nails without glue and can be taken off easily… just have to find them now :)
I still can not quit picking scars.
I still can’t quit picking scars.
My nails peel after being chewed, and then I peel them more because it’s annoying lol
I like the taste of my own blood, and that causes problems sometimes…
I have the habit of saying ‘yes’ to anything people ask as help. The words ‘need help’ makes me dumb and I say yes without a second thought. Many times, I feel I was wrong in my decision. I Need to change myself to make myself happy and sometimes make others also happy by saying no!!
