Do you bite your nails? I do, when I worry, which is most of the time.

I used to have such a bad habit of biting my nails. I don't do it as much as I used to, now I pick the skin around my nails which I think is even worse.

I bite my nails soooooooo much. In fact, I have bitten them down so low that the skin on my fingers is now starting to grow over the top of the nail-bed!
It's not pretty. I tried to let my nails grow cos the whole situation was starting to get ridiculous. Because the skin was beginning to grow over where the nail should be, the nail was actually pushing back and splitting the skin on my fingers! It was very painful so I just resolved to keep biting 'em. My hands look repulsive already anyway so who cares, right?

Rarely. Only when I'm incredibly bored.

I've tried to stop bitting my nails but it's too hard and I also pick at the skin around them. It's a bad habit but I can't stop.

I know how that goes. I think that's been my new years resolution since I was 10.

Oh god do I bite my nails. LOL I have no nails beacuse I chew them almost all the way off. Ive tried to stop, but It seems to be a habit I cant break.

I dont really bite the nail part of mine, I just pick at the skin around them, which hurts like crap, and I pick the skin under them which makes my fingers bleed all the time. And it makes what little nails I have anyway, break off and I pick at the nail part too. My hands look like they have been severely abused.
