I use to bite my nails when I was a teenager. I realized though early on that putting your fingernails in your mouth can give you diseases. If you think about it, your hands touch everything and then you put your fingers in our mouth. That is not at all good hygiene. I'm glad I learned this early and have had nice strong nails that still look nice today.

Hello codeofuniverse? Good day to you! Well, when I was at the age of 8 years old I have this kind of habit which is cutting my nail with my teeth. But now i no longer do it because my nail got ungly while doing it. I prefer using a nail cutter to cut my nails.

As lame as this sounds, the one noise that bugs me the most is the sound of figner nail clippers. That sound is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me, so I nibble my finger nails just because I absolutely can not stand the noise or the feel of using fingernail clippers. For the record, I tough out the noise when it comes to my toes. But fingers, I couldn`t use a pair of nail clippers if you paid me. Yuck!

I have no habit for this my friend but my beloved uncle has... he used to bite his nails... and it works for him... his fingers are not really ugly looking, they are just like shortly cut... and he is not using nail cutter anymore... but he only bite them if he is inside my aunt's room or inside the car...

Unfortunately I do have a very bad nail biting habit. In fact there have been times when I have bitten them so short that they have bled. I have tried a few different things to stop, but the habit is very hard to break. I have stopped for a whole month before but started biting them again without even thinking about it. I guess I will go through my life with short nails,LOL.

when i was a child i used to bite my nails if i feel so tense or bored and so when my mother found out my habit she always cut my fingers short like nothing left for me to bite. she monitor my fingers everyday if its grow up already and yes your right my fingers are so ugly that they keep on telling me that no matter how pretty i am but once my fingers are ugly no one will like me. it only stop when i was i high school already coz our teacher check our nails if its properly trim and clean coz if not then you will be scolded by the whole class. and so my mother always bring me to the parlor for manicure. that end up my habit for nail biting.
