Re: Nail biting

I'm not forcing her she asked me to help her, she doesn't want to be only one can't wear lovely nail colours. She enjoys painting my nails and is getting quite artistic about it with the nail art she's copying off the internet. But she can't do her own because they are so short.

It's a filthy habit and looks so common

I think most people that do it really want to stop if they are honest. I certainly hated my nails when I was biting them.

Oh well I am the weird one then. As I have said I enjoy biting my nails, although I do ensure my hands are clean first, and don't do it in front of others.

Are you saying you wash your hands and then closet yourself away from others so you can have a good nosh on your nails? Any condiments with that

Re: Nail biting

I've always bitten my nails - I find it hard to understand those with perfect looking nails who use clippers.

Someone told me that nail biting was a form of self harm.
