do you bite your nails as your mannerism?

Damn, I got these one during my grade school. Not only did I develop a habit of biting my nails but also pages of my notebooks. My classmates still reminds me of this silly habit of mine until now. I think the reason for this is that when I fell pressured at school or a subject that I been have difficulty with, I ended up doing things that I really don't like to do. I get over it during my freshman in high school. And I'm glad that my children have no similar habits as I do. My children knew about it and often times may silly gestures to me when were having quality times together. Nice, awkward and silly experience though. but its all part of life now and learned from it.

Hi amyson. Well, I doesn't have that habit. I think only kids biting their nails. lol. Because one my nephew have this habit. He like to bite his nails until his mom get mad. But now he doesn't have that habit anymore.

I quit biting my nails 3 years ago! I use to bite them till they bled.I am quite happy still enjoying the new look after this long.It is self mutilation is what ,I was told.Then recently ,I read that a public toilet has less germs than under your finger nails.Try to keep things like this in mind when chewing them or biting.Even if you think others don't notice they do! Stop eating yourself and get some food!

Hello friend, My daughter had this same mannerism,and i always try to stop her for doing it. She's 15 yrs old now,and still doing it,i knew it's not her intention,she also doesn't know why she is doing such thing. Well,i guess it's better at her age than thumbsucking (hahaha) And,also,she doesn't have to cut her nails,becoz,it doesn't grow long..

Hi,any,no i didn't have that habit.But some how,my daughter have that habit.Many times i told her not to,few times with serious.But she try to pretend that she left the habit in front of me.In absence i was told that she is continuing.I have try to stop the habit with her slowly.Good day.

wow same here!!! i am totally a nails biter! and i still keep biting...i know it is dirty but i just can not help! i do not know why i like doing this,sometimes my finger even bleeds!

hi amyson well mine is silly but I still find myself chewing on a lock of mylong hair,why I really do not know. my hubby used to tease me about it,he would say,does that taste good,you want some sugar on it?" well sometimes that teasing led to other more interesting things, and I would forget the hair for an hour or so. I also know its not a healthy habit either and I do try to break myself of that bad habit. maybe eventually I will be able to not do that.

sorry to say, but i found it disgusting. i know i have no mannerism like this, but my step-daughter who is already 17 years old now do bite her nails. sometimes, she can't help but bite also nails of her younger brother. yuckyyyyy.
