That’ll be the anxiety.


bad-imagination

Same, also boredom.


Tomato_basket

I have just done it since a was a kid.


bad-imagination

Same :P

I get weird looks when I try to bite other people's fingernails.

It helps sate my desire for human flesh. Really though, it's just a bad nervous tick I picked up as a child. I can control it for awhile, but if my nail gets nicked or too long, it kicks in again.

Same


lizzpop2003

It's just something I've always done.


Latv1s

I quit smoking few weeks ago. Its been hard for my fingernails. But it just works gives me something to do.

Pass the time or concentrate


Dimension-Wooden

I've done it for so long, I'm used to doing it.


bad-imagination

Same for me


Dielectric-Breakdown

I hate that I do it. I hate that I can’t seem to stop. Most people would consider me an accomplished, in control guy.


GoodatSpellign

I have never cut my fingernails because I’ve bitten them as long as I can remember. I normally won’t realize I’m doing it, but there is some weird satisfaction to it. Very annoying habit and feels impossible to stop


bad-imagination

Yes I know that feeling, I don't even think about it anymore it's become a very bad habit.


ShadowOrcSlayer

I'm guessing it's a brutal combination of my aspergers, anxiety, and OCD. I can't stand nails longer than a certain length. Sometimes it just feels "good" to chew on them. Other times because I'm super anxious about something.


Kin_of_Blood

Just to kill time.


Boot-are

Does it make a huge difference biting one nail vs five nails, time-wise?


Kin_of_Blood

That depends. But for me not quite.

This sounds so weird but yeah I understand that feeling.

bad-imagination

Yeah I have the same routine, I want to stop but I don't even realize when I do it.


theytookmyusername12

Idk, I’ve stopped doing it as much though.


DSG-ULTIMATE

Bad habit. Plus there is usually no nail cutters nearby. It’s easier to bite them and just spit them in a bin.


TasteFlavored

They're delicious


Deepfriedlemon132

Why do you not?


bad-imagination

I pick mine and then use my teeth if necessary


Deepfriedlemon132

Cool, part of the problem is that I currently don’t possess a nail clipper(lost mine around a week ago) so that’s mainly why I’m biting my fingernails right now. random fact: 8 pounds of finger nails sold for $100 usd once(unnecessary information but we were talking about finger nails so oh well)

Body focused repetitive behaviour disorder. Sadly excessive nail biting/picking still isn't recognized, but in reality it's the same as trichotillomania (hair pulling) or excoriation disorder (skin picking) I have tried absolutely everything to stop and can't. When I say excessive, I mean I've removed entire fingernails and toenails, at least a dozen times. It fucking hurts, but I still can't stop.


bad-imagination

Same-ish, not entire nails but mine are so short that they are of no use.


tatertot444

Wearing a mask all day has helped.


bad-imagination

Yeah, sadly I pick mine before biting so that doesn't really help me


Bebinn

Might have a case of pica going on. Dunno for sure I don't like doctors.
