Nail Biting - Is It Bad?

[seh1980]

Hi Paul,
I've bitten my nails on and off all throughout my life. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing - it just shows that the person is quite nervous. I'm a very nervous and that's why i do/did it. Is she always anxious?

[^] I'm a minger as well then - lol

I bite my nails and the skin around them too.

I wear false nails, but I found they did more damage to my real nails than biting them. The glue dries them out something terrible, and the sticky pads, you get with some false nails just don't work.
I also discovered that no matter how much they cost they all do the same job and the same damage.

I agree with Meg the best thing for nails is calcium.

Love, light and Best wishes

I just want to say none of you are mingers!! I personally think you are all lovely, especially as you are all so kind and supportive to everybody, its nice to find people here who are all of similar mind to me, and while we all have problems we all look out for each other. I know I'd like to be here for everybody if ever you need to chat about something. I'd never try to get you to quit biting your nails or anything in fact, just as long as it didnt harm you, Remember I'm one of the few guys out here who are not shallow, and even think nail biting is a cute habit, so dont worry

Take care big hugs, Paul x

Hugs,

I'm not a habitual biter but as soon one gets broken or uneven so it catches on something, it gets bitten off.
So 10 fingers all different lengths.
