🧑‍⚕️Health What's a good way to stop biting your nails?

[UnusualSubstance]

I've been biting them ever since I was 13 years old.



Sometimes it gets infected as well but I think I need to stop.

Some peeps on Reddit said to get some sort of plaster thingy so maybe I'll look into that.

Currently I spin this ds stylus around and it helps a little bit but I'm like the Borg and have adapted to this.

Nail munchies still happen unfortunately.

Shove them up your ass now and then, and the urge to bite them will hopefully go away.

Hahahaha damn

@UnusualSubstance grab that nail polish that smells like ass, it does actually help

Ask the pharmacist for the smelly no nail biting stuff, I know so many people it has worked for

I'm just constantly stressed, not even the smell of smoke stopped me from munching

 

[RiskyStuff]

Looks like I'm not the only crazy person around. What the fck are you doing.

Think about your beauty and how awesome girls will be scared - of course they'll hug you, but they'll tell you to stop this self destructive behavior!

I became a girl when I was 12. My hair is shoulder length. I don't take any hormones but I act like a girl. I'm a pussy.

Maybe think of yourself as a girl and how bad it would be to bite it. It's Awful!

I thought everyone has it easy in this world.

Looks like Im not the only victim of stress. Damn.

Aaaaah, so you're biting your nails! I wondered what that was, looked very dermatological. Also painful, I used to have/still have dormant eczema and when it was active it was painful af.

Yeah, yeah, I heard people recommend this too. Never had this problem but so many people recommend that, must be effective then.

Bro, you're doing great, actually... Working on fixing your hygiene, now working on this. I remember I saw one of your photos on your profile and you actually already have muscles, you've been working out hard, no?

You also need to work on your personality / the way you speak to women because you're annoying af and NOT in a good way. Also ya'll need to stop asking Dopious for dating advice. Ask him about Wordpress . Ask married guys like cool @Zwielicht, or funny @roydan, or @notNewB is always focused on his work/projects and his goal of building a house, sounds like a great husband material and well, that's exactly why he is married lol. Ask guys that are actually married, wtf are you asking for advice from guys that suck at dating as much as you do *cough*.

Aww maybe that’s a little harsh to say to him.

I think he’s a nice guy from his posts around here.

It's not harsh, whole forum is nannying him, obviously his parents didn't teach him *anything* about life and now everyone else has to raise him. He needs to grow up a little, work on himself and then he can retry dating, rn he's not suitable and that's why he's not getting a girlfriend. I see he improved some things so that's a plus. Still a long way to go.

I guess I was only reading the criticisms and not the compliments you were giving him.

I’m never sure how best to approach telling someone how to improve themselves further but like you said he’s already working on it and making progress. I suppose to some it might come off as harsh and set them back but that’s just my interpretation.

Please stop drinking.

Please stop drinking.

Not drunk obviously and it's a fact - they should ask married guys for advice, not you, plenty of these on the forum. They shouldn't ask me even since I'm not married.

How do you know if I were married or not earlier? I might have 30-35 years of experience of marriage, you don`t know, you just do what you do best, assume things about others.

I've been married to my anime body pillow so I feel qualified here.

You said she left you with your son and you were a single father, now you say something else. Idk to me as a woman you seem generally unlikeable. Which is in stark contrast to when you're friendly with your buds - valuable, helpful forum member. But when you talk to women you change.

 

[Just A Username]

Its more like invading rather than biting.

I was sure @Dopious is married. Also, joking around doesn't mean you know nothing about something.

I know nothing about dating. I'm pretty good when it becomes a serious relationship but I was horrible at dating.
Don't think I've ever "dated" anyone, actually. It's always been someone I knew pretty well already.

My wife moved in with me about 2 weeks after we started "dating".

About biting nails, just stop, there's nothing easier than *not* doing something.

I used to bite my nails pretty much like you do, one day just decided to stop and haven't done since. That's how I stopped smoking as well.

I don't have a trick or something clever, just make a decision and go for it. It fails the second you give yourself a pass.

Taser taser taser

Looks like bullying to me mod, I thought we were still talking about the unusual fellas nails

Suppose she did haha it

Ah, more fabricated facts and opinions based on users' moods once again.


@UnusualSubstance get a compact stress ball to carry around with you, or if you find you're only doing it when at home, just get a stress ball and get in the habit of squeezing that. Once you get that as a habit, swap it out for a hand grip strengthener.

The other thing that works for me is If I move my thumb to touch the tips of my other fingers pinky to pointer and then focus on getting quicker and then start to make patterns to alternate between fingers so you might go pinky, middle, ring, pointer and back again and then reverse it. I found that helped, but I also do that when I find myself in a bit of unexpected stress, and I use it to calm down and switch my focus.

I never did bite my nails as badly as that, but it was still a habit I wanted to break. It's hard to just stop and go cold turkey as you need to replace the action with something else. Both the above worked for me anyway; good luck

Before @Impulse, I had no interest in anyone, so I don’t have experience dating.

We just felt a connection and married fairly quickly.

So, what does that has to do with my knowledge of relationships, are there no other womans out there. I bet I have 30 years of relationship and family life knowledge more than most guys here as I am older and done my mistakes that I learned from. BTW, you are the only woman I talk to that assume stuff about others here and place people in a box out of your assumtions of men.

I was sure @Dopious is married. Also, joking around doesn't mean you know nothing about something.

Well, I really was never married with a ring really, but then again I have a shitload of years of experience of relations and family life, a ring is just a ring. And yes, what people see in a forum of a forum user is just a fraction of who the user is, some users share openly who they really are and some like me only share glimts of who they are.
