Re: nail biting

I found sthg. for nail biting:

First, try to replace your bad habit with a healthier one. When you find your hands traveling towards your mouth, stop yourself and pop in a lollipop, or better yet a raw carrot, instead. It will take some serious, conscious effort on your part to replace your bad habit, but you can do it if you really want to. If you don’t even realize you’re chewing on your nails, try wearing a rubber band on your wrist and giving it a little pop every time you find your fingers in your mouth. That will help bring your consciousness to your problem so that you can learn how to stop biting your nails.
Another thing that might help you learn to stop biting your nails is to make your hands look as pretty as possible so that you don’t want to mess them up. Splurge on a salon manicure so you get some pampering and care lavished on your poor, bitten nails. It only takes about a week or so to start seeing some growth and once you see some progress, you’ll be less likely to want to bite. But remember—in time of stress you’ll be tempted to go back to biting, no matter how pretty your nails so you need to find some other way to relieve your stress, like meditation, journaling, or exercise.

Re: nail biting

i think actually this problem meets somewhere with psychological immaturedness or lack of confidence,,i think when a person is doing so then he or she must b thinking some stuff abut dat they feel problem to describe or to solve it or their mind is being partly divided abut specific topic.this is scientific reason n i think by handling it one can get rid of it.

Re: nail biting

Sara I feel for you, I am sick of my habit of playing with my hair,but just can't stop my hands from touching those strands.. and people please don't tell me to get rid of my hair :D

Re: nail biting

and according `to Freud that in early years of child 's development there must be a fixation, and if its not solved this habit become a part of a person.

Re: nail biting

I cant stand peeplan who do nailbiting…I tell my daughter who does it that you have yuck potty germs on your nails…She has gotten a lot better
But the grown ups already know that:smack:…

Re: nail biting

My goodness, a grown up biting nails - it looks horrible.

Sarah try using that nailpolish that hardens your nails and makes them grow fast. It tastes gross, and when you see how nice your nails look in a week or two, you'll never bite your nails again (hopefully).

Re: nail biting

Keep them short for a very long while to a lenghth where it is not possible for you to bite on them . Don't let them grow to the extent where you can bite them.

Re: nail biting

:).Wear a Mask that covers only your mouth…:sheyn:
