Fuck bad habits

Can I stop chewing my fucking nails?? I grew them out really long, did really good, and once again they're down to nothing. I've tried all the things, gloves, nail polish etc. Nothing works. I always somehow fall back into the habit. What's it like to have nice, pretty long nails, huh? I fucking envy people that do and also despise them; Not for any real reason though. I just want to be "normal" and hate having my chewed nails be painful, and the jagged edges catching on clothes and being very sensory uncomfortable.

I have the same issue, one of the things that helps is putting an essential oil that doesnt taste good so whenever I go to chew it tastes bad and kind of reminds me to stop ^^

that sounds awful :( i know a lot of people with that habit and at one point i also started to chew mine but i managed to stop after a while. maybe try conditioning yourself? associating biting nails with something else (eating candy, clapping, popping knuckles, etc) so that the moment you feel the urge you immediately do the other action instead. it takes a while to make it work though. hope you figure something out!

Thank you for the support! I do try to pop knuckles instead and it does help occasionally but has not worked all the time. I may try associating it with something else, however. Thx <3
