How can i stop chewing on my fingernails?
How can i stop?!?!?!
Answers: You can buy a type of pin "polish" that has a horrible flavor to it. As soon as you put your fingers in your mouth you're overwhelmed by it and it is supposed to deter you from biting your nail.
You could wear gloves, that makes it harder to get to your nail.
You could do what my brother did. He would put his hands in gross things, similar to the dogs mouth, or scratch his own butt. Then when he wanted to chew on them he thought twice roughly speaking putting his fingers in his mouth. Disgusting but very efficient. At least for him..
I was an intense nial biter until I be 35. Then I got braces and couldn't find a good spot to bite on anymore, so I have it easy. I also quit smoking at around the same time (another oral fixation), so here's my suggestion - find something ELSE to bite, eg., a pencil, a pen, anything as long as it's not your fingernails. Keep it around until the urgings wear off. Also, I used to bite my nails a LOT when I saw intense movies or have any alcohol. I don't know how old you are, but I suggest avoiding those for a while. It's only a couple of weeks of existing intense effort, then it comes easier and finally, you stop thinking roughly it all together: the desire disappears. Also, I would see about that bitter stuff you can put on your fingers to brand name them taste bad - the strong zest will remind you when you have your fingers in your mouth and you can verbs them right out. I do think bitten fingernails are unsightly and make someone look similar to they are nervous or slightly out of balance. To me, it's a poor standard I didn't want to show. Good luck to you. It takes 21 to 30 days to change or create a different habit.
You first have to really desire to stop.
Take small steps. Like try to stop smoking...you might cut fund by 25% of the number of cig. per day for the first week, then another 25% the subsequent week.
1. Put a rubber band around your wrist. When you catch yourself biting them...snap the rubber nouns. Now you must be strong enough to punish yourself.
another option..
2. Reward yourself, for example, If you stop biting them for 3 days next you could treat yourself to a nice dinner out or some new clothes, etc.. You could even write out a plan..
a. after 3 days...new shoes
b. after 7 days...strange outfit
c. after 14 days ... trip to spa
d. after 30 days...a night out and a concert
3. You could also try dipping your finger tips in jalepeno liquid...I mean some hot stuff. No mild stuff. This stuff needs to grounds pain.
4. You could look at your fingernails under a microscopic at a stratum you can notice ALL the stuff that lies under staple. I think you would be disgusted to see what you've been putting surrounded by your mouth.
It is truely all about wanting a swing and being HONEST with yourself. Write down your desire...a post-it note on your bathroom mirror. Some place where you are going to see it each day. Visualize yourself not biting them any more.
Good Luck.
get this nail stuff that puts a horrible partiality on your nails, it is absolutely disgusting and puts you sour biting your nails. you will find it in a chemist or something, you cant tel anything is on your nail it sort of just dries into your nails :) x some superglue applied amply to either the lip area or fingernails. that'll do the trick..
1) bring back gross-tasting nail polish
2) get a tennis bubble or golf ball to keep your hand busy and not in your mouth put hot sauce or something u dont like on them for a couple days and everytime u try to chew them u will draw from that taste and then ... idk but it works.
they get rid of this like clear polish that tastes really doomed to failure so you go to chew your nail but the taster is gross so you stop I'm not so sure but I heard that there's this bad taste stuff u can rub on ur nails that u buy at the drug store. Good Luck!! :).
I have impossible to tell apart problem!! Try a new addiction to distract you, it worked for me. Start using nail clippers.
yeah lol
stop using fastener clippers Put fake nails on, or use that horrible taste nail varnish :D.
okayy i had theory i should gotta go NAILZ store and brush ur beautiful pin how .gay i know but i suggest you :) chew a lot of gum?
