    How to break a bad habit??

    OK I need some help - I have the awful nervous habit of biting my nails, but beyond that, I also tend to bite the cuticles and skin around the nails. It's gotten so bad lately that (sorry for the icky vision but...) most of my cuticles are just bitten raw and will occasionally bleed, which is totally embarrassing.

    I work as a lifeguard on the side for extra cash, and recently some lady came up to me at the gym and was like *points at fingers* "Oh my, what happened to you? You need to put some bandaids on that!"

    I was totally embarrassed... yet I can't force myself to stop doing it. Any ideas or tricks that you people know of to help me keep my hands out from between my teeth - preferably something discreet?

    well i know with the nail biting, if you put nail polish remover on your nails it will still taste like that for awhile afterwards... hence not wanting to bite your nails for the distaste..
    that might also work with the cuticles, etc... but id have to think it would hurt pretty bad to get nail polish remover on something thats already so raw...

    go get fake nails, that way you cant bite 'em and they look nice..
    or
    just get your nails manicured, maybe since they'd look nicer you'd be less prone to bite them.
    or
    wear gloves.

    i have a bad habit of playing and pulling at my hair.
    i cant help it either. it makes my hair really weak and pulls out easily when i shower or brush my hair. ugh.
    every time i take a crap,
    its a cosmic experience

    They make special nail polishes for nail biting. They make your fingers taste horrible.

    My bestfriend used to do the samething.... She went to hypnotherapy and hasn't bitten or wanted to bite her nails since then.

    Most drugstores will. Just ask the person at the counter. (try CVS).
    Or if you wanna go online:
