[quote=@Kidd] I've been struggling with this a lot since I was a kid and it's not even a nervous habit anymore--it's just something that I do. Luckily, I'm a little more conscious of it than some, and I never bite too low or close to the skin. That said, it's still a bad habit and one that I can't seem to stop. So, does anyone have any advice on how to go about stop biting my nails? [/quote] [h3]Chew on a pencil and try to look sexy while doing so.[/h3] -[i]Eventually[/I] that will get old. We'll be sure to let you know when. Alternately, invent a motion to indicate "I'm idle/bored/thinking". -Tapping a dubstep-beat on your cheekbones can work (strumming a desk is a bad idea)... Or, clean your ears before biting nails. A fingerload of ear-wax is a pretty good deterrent. -(or not, if your obsessive of keeping the underside of your nails clean)
