Do you bite your fingernails?

Urgh No way do I bite my nail's, just think of all the germ's and bacteria hiding away under the nail. I pick my nail's though, which I shouldn't really do as some time's I pick a little to much off. Allways better to use the clipper's as you get a better finish.

I don't usually bite my nails although i do keep them clipped rather short most of the time, out of habit from being a nurse for all those years!

No I have never been a nail biter.....my daughter in law is though and I wish I could do something to help her stop....I however have my own bad habit. I don't even realize that I do it. I pick my chin while I am driving or when my hands aren't busy. Don't ask me why I do it....I don't even know that!

I am so guilty, I have really slowed down on that. Years ago I could not grow my nails,because I would bite them down soo short even if I had a nail clipper. These late years I think am kicking the habit, I rarely bit them now.

I keep a small set of clippers in my pocket at all times.

I simply at times bite my nail, when im rather nervous or tremendously tensed :(

I used to when I was in school. Now instead of biting nails, I am actually peeling off the skin of the lip. I should give up this abnoxious habit.

No,i dont bite my nails and i use nail cutter to cut it once in a week.For some people it is a habit to do so.

Jer31558 I never bite my fingernails. If I do it is very, very rare. I try my best to keep them clean and trimmed though, kind of a pet peave of mine I guess.

I tend to bite them when I get bored. Usually, I have nothing left to bite on Thursday during the school year. Class Mon-Wed pretty much gives me all the boredom I need to finish my nails off. I let them grow over the weekend, then start over again the next Monday. Kinda weird, but its how it goes heh.

I used to do that all the time. My nails grow very fast and they are very thin. I will sometimes sit around and bit the off instead of clipping them. I do not do it so much anymore. I never did the bite them until they are down to the skin and bleeding like some people do though.

My nails will grow to a certain length and then they just break off. I have never been able to have really long nails. I normally cut them once a week just to stop them breaking but when I forget and they start to break, that is when I normally just bite them. I am not a regular nail biter though, so my fingernails are pretty OK looking.

Yes, I do, when I am deep into thought... My grandmother told me that my mom had a habit of doing this when she was young.. So as her oldest daughter, I think it passed down to me.

Ya I also bite my nails frequently. I do have clippers but even then it has become my habit to do so

Hi there new friend! No I dont bite my finger nails. But Im always clipping and filing them. I dont like real long. Hey maybe you should buy some nailclippers that way they will be even.LOL

Biting fingernails is a bad habit as the nails can harbor germs and it might cause diseases if putting fingernails into the mouth. Very normally this also could cause worms growing in our intestine. Therefore my mom always forbade me to bite the fingernails since childhood. It is also unhygienic and indecent to bite our fingernails. Other than that the biting might be harmful to healthy growth of the nails.

I bite my fingernails way too much. I can't help it, its been a habit of mine since I was little and I still do it all the time.

unfortunately i do have this nasty habit. people keep telling me it isnt good but still i do it. its not that i like doing it but i just do it without me saying i feel like biting my nails today. not at all. i get to bite it when im nervous or frustrated or sometimes i bite it because i feel like its too long. but in fact i do want them to grow long. lol... this happens a few days later everytime i had my nails cleaned and cut nicely. lol. thats why i could never have long nails because i bite them. tsk tsk tsk.. im really trying to kick the habit but i dont know how to. maybe i should put hot sauce on my nails to stop me from biting it. hahaha

Seems I have been biting my nails alot since March of this year. Had a lot going on and I just that is what I do when I get nervous :)

When i was younger i did but not so much now.
