If You Were A Nail-Biter, When Did You Stop and Why/How?
If You Were A Nail-Biter, When Did You Stop and Why/How?
Bit of a weird one. I was an aggressive nail-biter for many years. To the point that I would often expose the nail-bed on many fingers. I'm 47 now, and have not bitten my nails for about 15 years. I've no idea why I stopped, I just did. I don't even know why I bit my nails in the first place.
All I can remember now is how sore and painful my fingers used to be, and still don't understand to this day why I did it.
Can any of you remember when or how you stopped and why? Just curious...

I think it goes away with age. I don't recall an ederly biting his nails.
Scratching your ass more often & having less teeth has it's benefits i guess.
One can achieve that quicker with local products : spicy food & meth.

I bite my nails. Turns out my dad felt bad and explained how this happened. He said we had a baby sitter who used to do it and he regrets not changing the baby sitter.

I still am a nail biter and it doesn't bother me (but I don't bite to the quick). I can go months without biting but then once I start I do it regularly for a while.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Soo many very fit people on this forum that can get their toes up into their mouth and bite their toe nails

The babysitter bit your nails or you copied them?
I bit my nails when I was a kid. My mother got some nasty-tasting liquid that is supposed to remind you when you absentmindedly bite them. I don't think that worked well so she bribed me to stop, probably £5 or something.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Think I stopped about the time I took up smoking.
Maybe I should go back to biting my nails.

I still do bite my nails quite badly. It often amazes me how many people notice. It would never cross my mind to look at someone's hands unless there was a specific reason. Same with feet. How come people always seem to notice when you're wearing new shoes? It's usually women to be fair but still... I couldn't describe the shoes of a single one of my colleagues, and I spend 8 hours a day, day-in day-out with them.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

Used to when I was a kid. Stopped when I began developing a taste for the fairer sex.

I went to INDIA, in 1998
I was so disgusted by the filth of New Delhi, the black crap that came from my nose when I blew it and the layer of filth everywhere, I didn't want to put my fingers anywhere near my mouth. In a mere 10 days my nails grew and I clipped them.
Never bitten them since.
