@Your_Local_Sun_Or_Yuta Yeah, it’s…it’s rough. i’m really trying to stop, but sometimes I just can’t help it.

@Your-Local-Reaper Yeah, I understand that feeling, Kinda like not per say (or per se 💀), But kinda an Addiction?

@Your-Local-Reaper I saw a video about little parasites that can give you diseases that live under your nails and you can consume them by biting your nails, but I had already stopped biting my nails way before then

I know you said you tried press ons, but do even the really short ones not work? And does nail polish help or no? Sorry if my input doesn’t do much, but js tryna come up with something if it might help

@Your-Local-Reaper i found just doing something else like playing video games when i felt like biting them worked and eventually i stopped biting them

zofya I’ve heard about them, but when you’ve been doing it for nearly 10 years, and you have likely anxiety or are ND, it’s hard to break.

Alyx💞 Well, I feel like short ones would work, if they were just the length of a short natural nail. However, I can’t wear ones that go past my fingertips because I play violin, and it would royally fuck up my posture/playing ability.
I just have to go get short ones if I want to wear them consistently, and I would have to glue them, because the sticky tabs don’t do shit lmaooo
