Bad habits sometimes makes us feel so bad that we try to stop but nothing would help except your patience. I also sad a bad habit....biting nails. Those who use to bite nails dont you think we become addict of eating nails. We want to stop it but it is not very easy. Knowingly or unknowingly our nails themselves go between our teeth and we started biting them. During my schooldays I had no problem with this as it was restricted in my school to have nails longer than the fingertip. but my parents were worried because of my this habit. They used lot of things but nothing would help. But when I came out of my school I saw girls of my age group apply beautiful colours on their nails. I tried but... no use. But I didn't give up. Biting nails is a sign of nervousness. Before I used to think that its all rubbish. But today when I have quit my this habit I feel that its because now I am more confident than before. Friends! that was my experience. Do you have any?..Share.

I would like to be able to speak in a lower voice in the middle of a discussion...sometimes people think that i am mad and i really am not, so i have to explain to them that it's just that sometimes i don't realize that i have spoken up a little bit. It's annoying! lol

Max you know you don't feel proud of biting nails. You have made yourself to think that you feel proud as you find yourself unable to quit this habit. To help you out I would first of all like to tell you the bad effects of it: Our body system is not able to digest nails. They can never come out and become poisonous which causes different known unknown diseases. Its a sign of nervousness. It reveals a negative impression. Especially, during interview. Interviewers watch our body language and a negative sign results into rejection. First of all, Throw out this feeling that you are proud of it. Keep in mind, you just hate to do it. Its a curse for you. You want to get a rid of it. Try to help yourself out. Work os nervousness(if you have this problem). For girls, I can say apply nail paint. When it covers nail one feels uncomfortable to chew it. Hope you will start working on it from today only. BEST OF LUCK. If result would positive REPLY.
