After having that habit for years, I finally got a manicure. Since I had to pay for it, and they looked nice, I finally was able to quit – just like that. It’s been about 8 months and I haven’t gone back to the habit.

I would think that any adult who has a habit of biting their nails may also have a nerve problem. They may want to see a doctor to get something to calm their nerves. Putting your hands in your mouth is not clean,you could get sick from doing that especially these days with all the germs and viruses going around. Just don’t do it.Think about what you are putting in your mouth if nothing else.IF you have to,wear gloves.

I told my ex it made him look like a nervous wreck…it says a lot about you when your nails look bad. He listened and grew his nails out to their proper length, so that worked.
Sometimes people just need the truth. When told in a tactful manner, it can be effective.
