Does anyone here bite their nails/pick their skin on the sides of their nails?

[Nocturnal]

They sell a clear-drying liquid that you can apply once a day that will burn your mouth.

They shouold carry similar products at CVS, or anywhere drugs are sold. A upermarket proably doesn't carry this. It works until you aquire the taste though. Kinda like beer.

I bite my fingernails too. It sucks. It's mostly due to stress.

There are others available that are stronger. I have seen a few that use peppers and will actually burn your mouth.

i do
have since i was a little kid
my dad always did it, i think i got it from him

i don't think its possible to quit
i am 100% sure that i could kick heroin easier than stopping biting my fingernails

it really sucks

the only method i have thought of that i am fairly sure would work, but i haven't tried it yet, is to wear gloves, ALL THE TIME

this would be a little difficult, and look funny , so i haven't tried it yet, but i think it would work

My parents put the liquid stuff on my fingers that tastes bad, and all it did was make me to be able to eat just about anything no matter how it tasted. I think the key is self-control, which I don't have.

i don't bite my nails, but i do pick off any stray skin on the sides. otherwise they get caught on stuff like sweaters and it hurts :|

my ocd behavior is something so disgusting i don't really want to post it 😛
