I have a very bad habit of biting my nails all the time. Sometimes it gets so bad that I end up biting more than just the tips. My hands look atrocious now. How do I stop myself from doing this? Can I buy any creams or oils to prevent this?
Report abusei have a perfect way to get around this cantstoptalking
okays so what you do is every time you bite your nails and you realize
you need to run downstairs and run back up - get down on the floor and do 20 sit ups
the next time you do it - you run downstairs run back and do 30 sit ups
and before you know it, your body will no longer want to bite nails believe me good luck
Get someone to hit you everytime you bite your nails. Eventually, every time you start to bite your nails, you will remember the punishment (that someone will hit you) and that will stop you from doing it. It's simple Psychology =)
chop your finger of n the next time you wnt do it
Creams and oils won't do, you gotta forget the bad habits and just focus with other things.
I believe it you who can stop this. No cream or oil could do magic. Make your mind that you would not do this. I have seen lots of people doing this in front of others and it looks disgusting. People who bite their nail end up with weird looking nails. I have problem of cracking knuckles but I am slowly slowly taking control over it and I hope I will get rid of this bad habit
I Really have no experience but if you have pain in your mouth and you can't bite ur nails for that reason it gradually stops!
only experience i had that i had tight braces and they stopped me biting them!
What you need is something that will effect you unconciously. As 'Nerd' mentioned it is simple psychology. You need a Punishment of some sort that follows straight after you attempt to bite your nails. Im sure it isnt something you conciously.
Personally, i dont think hitting yourself and doing anything yourself would work, simply becasue i would know i wouldnt bring myself to do it, therefore i wouldnt fear it. Having someone hit you is a good idea, having someone make a deal with you to punish you in some shape or form when you bite your nails may help =)
my brother used to suck his two fingers all the time, so she selotaped to hot chilli's on his fingers lmfao! it didnt work. so cruel tho.
put poop on your nails
there's this thing you put on your fingertips, it smells and tastes bad, and after a while you associate putting your fingers in your mouth and the ugly tastse so you wont put them in your mouth again
Tell your mother to slipper slap your face when you do it.
me too :(
get out of it
put chilli on your nails
an that way you'll never bite them again
do it myself
just cover your nails in paper put a elastic band around it and every time you chew you get a nsty supriese try it it totally works
hahahha i agree with Perfectionist here lmao
i tihnk you should think about the germs in your nails and how you consuming them
also leave chemicals on your fingers so if you bite it, then you will get a really bad taste.
