so how many people actually have this problem. i hate myself for constantly ruining my fingers . Like I don’t bite my nails as much as I take away the skin around my nails. I know they look bad ,really bad with all the dark pink wounds and somtimes even blood coming out and it hurts a lot but I can’t stop myself.
Some people say that it’s a psychological problem etc but for me this has been goin on since i was 2. My mom is so fed up of my my this really gross habit..she has tried everything from just forbidiing me verbally to putting chillies on my fingers but nothing helps..She thinks I wont get any good rishta consridering my hands in such bad condition. I really want to get rid of this.
Does anyone else has such a problem..What did u you do abt it??
I had this problem, until about one and a half year ago. I told myself to stop, and I stopped! Haven't done it since and I find it gross now, not only does it look bad but it ruins the skin around your fingers and makes your nails really brittle.
What made me stop was seeing this girl who did it. Her fingers looked ugly and gross. Mine wasn't as bad but when I saw her, I was like that's probably what people see when they look at my hands.
Hehe this thread reminds me of a phase when my sister really looked up to me as a kid :D and she started nailbiting cuz i used to nailbite, hehe.
My cousin had this habit she put on fake nails but that didn't work because eventually she chewed up the plastic trying to get to her nails. She continues to chew and she's nineteen. One of my chachees is a doctor and she chews her nails she can't stop either but she doesn't mind it, another chachee also possesses this habit she puts on nailpolish to try to stop herself they grow up to a certain point before she begans nibbling again. I've seen many failed attempts your just gonna have to tell yourself STOP!
ive read and heard all kinds of bad things that can happen from nail biting but cant stop myself..last week i saw this guy who had really really bad figers..i mean really bad..they were almost like nails weren't there at all..and i said i am better than him ..and as batameez said..i mostly do it when i am thinking, which i do all the time, and then i don't realize when i compeltly takje off my skin and the blood starts coming out..:(
Hmm, take bandages, wrap them around your fingers, write the word NO on them, and see if that works. If you think it will look ridiculous, imagine what bitten nails/skin must look like to others.
i didn't have this habbit when i was a kid .... i guess its when i was a teenager when i got it ... i don't do that often though ... only when i am too absorbed in my thoughts and don't realize that i am biting my nails ..... i guess i will get out of it some day ...
i only bite my nails ... no skin and blood coming out of it ...... Teeni Meeni do try to break this habit .. your's really look extreme ... :-/
hmm..i still have the habit..(started it right after i had 4-5 teeth years ago ! )
I have this friend at college who does the same…we have our bets that we can grow nails like others ! kabhi kabhi bhool bhi jata hai…but usually we end up not doing it for a month or two !
i usually do it when studying or while watching an interesting tv programmes !
waisay apart from hearing about the diseases we can get by nail-biting…i read in a medical journal that nail biting causes MICRO-FRACTURES in you teeth !
Munni,proto, batameez..thanks for ur replies..
i am worried now after reading the fractures.i really need to stop this habit of mine..:( may god help me in this ..
well my younger bro had this habit from quite long and lately he shifted at my place for studies. t was getting quite irritating for me, asked him several times to stop biting your own skin but all in vain and only then I got a very nasty idea and he does not have it any more. ask him how he got rid of it and he will tell you how rude I have been to him verbally.
A totka mothers do here is pasting ‘Katha’ on child’s fingures and its bitterness keeps your from nailbiting. you can also consider any similar product which is not dangerous for your health and available in your locality or may be wear gloves all the time if u dont eat fiber.
well that was really one sentence and I do know that doesnt make any sense as well but its all in your head. when u unconciously start chewing your nails and skin if that sentence comes to your mind at that time you will probably stop it at once. and tat is
“You do your poopy stuff with these fingures you chewing, does it taste so yummy?” :yukh:
… but now i think abt nail care n beauty :Pretty:
