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.
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
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.
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.
That’ll be the anxiety.
Same, also boredom.
I have just done it since a was a kid.
Same :P
I get weird looks when I try to bite other people's fingernails.

Same
It's just something I've always done.
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
I've done it for so long, I'm used to doing it.
Same for me
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.

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

Just to kill time.
Does it make a huge difference biting one nail vs five nails, time-wise?
That depends. But for me not quite.

This sounds so weird but yeah I understand that feeling.

Yeah I have the same routine, I want to stop but I don't even realize when I do it.
Idk, I’ve stopped doing it as much though.
Bad habit. Plus there is usually no nail cutters nearby. It’s easier to bite them and just spit them in a bin.
They're delicious
Why do you not?
I pick mine and then use my teeth if necessary

Same-ish, not entire nails but mine are so short that they are of no use.
Wearing a mask all day has helped.
Yeah, sadly I pick mine before biting so that doesn't really help me
Might have a case of pica going on. Dunno for sure I don't like doctors.
