Pls can you help me? I have bitten my nail to the point to where I don’t have any nails on my middle finger, ring finger and my pinkie. My mom used to tell me to stop but I can’t. And I am only 12
Try a multivitamin Found out I was very low in iron and borderline anemic Started taking vitamins and being consistent with them and they’re so strong now I can’t believe it Nothing fancy just a regular basic one I found worked
I've been biting my nails for around 15 years and always have been self-conscious of my hands because of it, 8 days ago my coworkers invited me along to a pedicure and I opted out due to being too embarrassed of my nails and since then I've been maintaining my cuticles and haven't bit them since out of pure will and determination to fix the problem. Though the habit was hard to fight against, I think I'm past it at this point.
I have stopped biting my nails for 3 weeks now, I am very happy because I can finally tap my nails :D I’m 15 years old and have been biting my nails since I was around 7-8 Years Old.
I think nail biting is related to anxiety for me. Whenever I'm on vacation I would stop biting my nails without even trying and during the best years in my twenties I stopped completely however my nails still looked ugly and once I started Uni the habit came back. I've had enough, I'm going to make the investment and book an appointment for a BIAB manicure every three weeks this year and if that's what it takes for me to have beautiful nails it's a cost I'm willing to pay. I want to have beautiful nails!
Thank you for the video, I have been biting my nails for 10 years, and I have tried to stop doing that bad habit a lot of times, but all of these tries were unsuccessful. However, I will try my best to stop doing that for good in the near future! Edit -> (March 2023) I stopped biting my nails... 2 months so far... I am so happy!
I HAVE A CHALLANGE FOR YOU!! Can you resist without biting your nails 10 mins? Or...1 hour? I DAY?! Challange yourself!you have 5 lives, if you bite them 5 times, you loose.
There are over 157 comments here! Amazing! How about anyone who wants to stop- we all pick a date to stop- and chime back in once a week for support? Back in the 70’s & 80’s-After 8 years smoking, on Nov 18th 1982 during the American Cancer Society sponsored,( annual 3rd Thurs in Nov ) Great American Smokeout- I still have stopped smoking now for 42 years. it was so exciting to know thousands of people were all trying to stop together. We could stop - build in safety nets, stress balls, straws to keep tongues busy, buffing blocks to keep nail beds shiny ( they look polished- helps to make them stronger) Any thoughts? I have subscribed to find this comment thread and will check back soon. Thanks again to this lovely video!
Inspiring! On and off biting for 60 years. Manicures help the most. Cuticle care. Buffing the natural nail without polish, no gels, no tips because I would pick at the polish and tips after a few days if any rough edges appeared, or peel the polish and tips off ruining the surface nail. My fingers are very sensitive to rough edges. Best results come from maintaining very short, smooth buffed nails. The manicurist gave me the small buffing block she used. Having that by my chair while watching tv ( most often nail biting time) helps build a proactive positive relationship with my nails. I used to say to myself, nails are not on my food plan omg ( I never ate them anyway) but putting them in my mouth is so unhygienic- especially now during Covid. Inspiring video- back to self care- back sliding with nail biting happens for those of us long term biters. Just resume self care and live forward. Thanks for the forum to share and release ourselves from the shame.
i used to bite my nails until there was literally nothing there and it was something’s bleeding you could see the under skin that’s supposed to protect our nail beds it was so bad. for anybody trying to stop the way I stopped was thinking how bad I wanted to get my nails done and they would fall off every time so easily, so I put in my head that if I grew my nails out even a bit more they would stay on longer and since that day I never bit my nails again. Being a nail bitter they will be very brittle and break fast in the beginning of growing them out but keep them clean and make sure to use cuticle oil and trim them, or file and they will grow strong and nice. ❣️
I don't think anyone will see this, but I can highly recommend getting an at home gel nail kit off amazon with a cheapo lamp all for the cost of a single manicure and doing your own for the year :)
I got acrylics for the very first time cause I let my nail bed grow long enough and even now I still catch myself nibbling at my acrylics and tapping them when I get anxious but I can’t wait to see how long my nails grown out once I take them off!!!!☺️☺️☺️
I have been getting fake nails since I was 12 and I was such a nail biter I actually used to bite the fake nail off from where the acrylic would attach to my real nail and I would do this because my nail tech wouldn't clean the edges close to the cuticle so I would chip of the extra acrylic around my nail and then go right for the main part.. I am now 15. I still get fake nails but I actually spray them with perfume and if I try to bite them or chip them I get the taste of perfume in my mouth and it has instantly turned me off biting them... I am going to get my fake nails off next week so I can get my real nails done!!! Let's see how I go!
The sad part that even if we stop biting nail.. Idk my other fingers automatically go to remove nails.. Removing nails through thumb.. Ahhh I hate it!!! Even if I keep my hands always frm mouth... It somehow finds its way to get destroyed
I did the same. But from last 2 weeks, I've been applying ointments on cuticles. Not "nail care" ointments. Wound/itch/scar ones. They smell awful but keeps cuticle smooth, and so, I avoid biting nails and skin around it.
Love that hand cream that you mentioned, it's brilliant, the only one that I find works for my dry hands, they get so dry sometimes they crack and bleed, I happened on this cream over one of our lock downs( all the washing and sanitizer) the pharmacy lady recommend this, best stuff ever I swear to god...no other hand cream has worked near as good as that one....love love love
I always bite my nails and then stop for about a week or two and then randomly bite them when they’re finally nice looking. I only bite them when I’m exited, anxious or focused and I don’t know how to fix that problem
I just bought some really really bitter clear nail stuff that you just brush on and it makes your nails taste horrible. I bit my nails for 5 years, and i've just stopped immediately lol
hi could you please write a full names of the things that helped you brake a habit of biting the nails. i need to try it. i’m desperate. thank you so much diana xx
Diana, there are people that appreciate your nail biting as a very desirable trait. For everything you may think is ugly is actually really attractive.
i’ve tried fake nails (glue ons) and it ruined my nails! when i wear them it triggers me to bite them more especially when they fall off, when they do fall off it rips the skin around them and the nail that has just grown in. i’m now not comfortable leaving the house without them on so it’s just keeps destroying my nails. i’m at the point when i almost have no nail completely like no joke, i also rip off my toenails and some of my toenails just haven’t grown back. i bite the skin around my nail and i sometimes bite small little craters at the ends of my finger tips it gets so bad. i’m 16 and i’ve tried everything to make me stop and i can’t. i have been biting since as long as i can remember. it makes me super insecure and it’s so painful i can’t move my fingers or touch things. if anyone knows how to help pls pls pls let me know! i’ve asked so many people including professionals on how to stop and they don’t know cause it’s not really for anxiety anymore i just can’t stop.
Please take biotin, buy stress balls, use distasteful nail polish, try builder gel manicures every two weeks! Keep your cuticles moisturized with vitamin E daily and moisturize your hands as well! Remind yourself, you want pretty nails, you can literally lose a finger from biting your nails because of infection. Don’t give up! Research! Take notes; a checklist of how many days you’ve stopped biting your nails so you can see improvements!
Iv recently managed to stop I just kept filing my nail down to the very tip I find that helped did that for a month then I gradually just forgot about them but was still using a nail strengthening from sally Hanson maximum growth! Now I’m just above my finger tip so got alittle tips on my nails I have to say unfortunately I do find they peel a lot unless I have the strengthening polish on its now been 3 months since I stoped and I haven’t been tempted since 👌
is not very nice to bite the nails because I use to be a nail biter too but now I stopped for good and now my nails looks so beautiful and long 😇🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿
how did your nails atatch to skin? my nails are really short ive stopped biting them but im worried mine wont atatch to nail bed when they grow out. please if anyone know please respond i would appriciate it.
I’ve had acrylic nails, gel nails and I still bite my nails. Maybe I’m just very addicted to the habit. I actually enjoy biting any nail, my own nail or the acrylic nail actually until my fingers actually hurt. I hate the pain and I hate what I do but I still bite my nails. In fact the acrylic nails are quite a challenge but my teeth just go for it. I’m watching this channel trying to find a way to stop biting my nails 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁
nail strengthens actually aren’t that good unless you have very thin nails, and it should only be a temporary option. this is bc they snap very easily instead of flexing
Amy's nail transformation has been huge! What tips and tricks do you have to keep your nails healthy and strong?
I’m in Sydney
Pls can you help me? I have bitten my nail to the point to where I don’t have any nails on my middle finger, ring finger and my pinkie. My mom used to tell me to stop but I can’t. And I am only 12
I am really embarrassed by this that I barely use my left hand 😢
Remember that for every thing on the human body there is someone who will appreciate you for who you are.
I did start growing my nails but then they snapped and i started biting again.
OMG SAME
I've tried to stop and it's soo hard
I grew mine out for 3 months and then they started cracking and breaking. And then I started biting again 😭
Try a multivitamin
Found out I was very low in iron and borderline anemic
Started taking vitamins and being consistent with them and they’re so strong now I can’t believe it
Nothing fancy just a regular basic one I found worked
That was literally me. All of them broke in the same week and i bit them out of frustration.
I am diagnosed with anxiety and I am always biting my nails and I'm always going to get fake nails thank you so much for helping me 😊
it can't stay
Same me too
Fake nails are the best way to avoid biting ur nails they also help grow your nails this worked for me my nails grew when i got fake nails

How’s your journey going??
How’s it going?? I need help!
Hope it went well! Have you stopped completely now? What’s the result?
When I was young, I never knew how. Once I learnt, I never stopped.
I have stopped biting my nails for 3 weeks now, I am very happy because I can finally tap my nails :D I’m 15 years old and have been biting my nails since I was around 7-8 Years Old.
Right on keep it up I'm almost able to tap too 💯
It’s funny this video showed up in my feed, I already stopped eating my nails about 2 months ago. It took me 25 years to finally stop.
Eating or biting?
@@scroocherinmcmuffins6217 both
How did you stop??
How please?
I recommend putting sanitizer on your hands. I don't think anyone would like the taste of sanitizer in their mouth.

SAME whenever I’m doing something fun that I love or with family I don’t bite my nails but once I start my homework I just chew them off 😩😭
I am so ashamed of myself i’m literally biting my nails while I’m watching this video!😡😡😡😂
Same
Im going on 2 months without biting mine. I know its not much of an achievement but im very happy of my progress 😊
It's for sure an achievement just keep it up
Well done!!! I can't stop for a week );
Trust me its an great achievement I can’t even go more than 2 weeks
you still going??? its been 11 months
@@jocelynn8849 Yep! Coming up on my first year without chewing on them lol

Edit -> (March 2023)
I stopped biting my nails... 2 months so far... I am so happy!
So did it change back to normal ?
I eat my skin, if my nails are too short to be bitten, I eat the skin around my nails. I don't even notice most of the time.
Me too, It ends hurting so much and my fingers are horrible.
I’m the same. I still bite my nails to this day
Same...I don’t bite them I just pick them
You do realise it’s probably the worst thing you can do to your teeth?
Same

I just watched a documentary filled the infectious diseases that is caused my nail biting.
Trauma always work people, in a good way
Perpetual biting of nails is in the DSM 5 as a repetitive body focused disorder. It’s within the OCD category

Why do people bite their nail in the first place?
Nervous habit
Anxiety habits
Nervous habits, overall habit and some people do it when experiencing anxiety
sometimes when nervous or looking at something that scares u that happens to me
Its often anxiety, i bite my nails 'cause I'm scared
i know if i go get my nails done like gel or acrylic or shellac i would stop but my mum doesnt let so.. yeh ;c
