Do you bite your fingernails?

Yes i am terrible about biting my nails, I let them go for a little but and try to get them to grow and then after so long they will start to get on my nerves and I will end up biting them off. They are not to far down though to where they are unhealthy looking but they are still really short.

I picked up the habit of biting my fingernails when I was a teenager, believe it or not. The reason that I started biting my fingernails was because that was the time in my life when my father was in the hospital on life support and I ended up going through a lot of stress during that period. Since then, I've noticed that I do tend to bite my fingernails from time to time and most of the time when I catch myself doing it, it is when I am under a lot of stress or pressure.

Certainly not! Never tried it and I don't have plan of doing so But many are doing it for many reason just like a habit. I don't think its a healthy thing to do

Hi invisiblelady, I do not bite my nails as I love them very much. They are long and big, good in shape. I like making gel nails, so they look beautiful. I do have some colleagues (both male and female) who like bitting nails. Their nails are so short and small, 3 to 4mm. It doesn't look good. Those female colleagues cannot put nail polish, as they always bite their nails when they are thinking. When it is time for them to get married, they starts to worry about their nails. They usually go to the nail salon and ask for help. Luckily there are acrylic nails nowadays available for them, so that they can have them stick on her nails for a few days. Thank you, scientists!

I myself don't. But I know some of my friends does. It seems it's the habbit from very little. Maybe something to do with stopping of brest feeding.

It was a habit of mine when I was still in grade school. I stopped but sometimes I start biting my nails when I'm really nervous. But my nails looks fine I think.

No, I never bite my fingernails. But I saw some people whenever they are in tension they will start biting fingernails. But I don't have such type of habit. Thank God...
