Nail Biting
I was just reading an article that was discussing whether nail biting is a mental disorder or just a bad habit. Here is the link: LinkI don't bite my nails obsessively. But when I notice them getting long, I rarely have nail clippers handy. So I chew them off.Do you ever bite your nails?

No, I have a mole that I move back and forth. I need to get it removed.
I am a horrible nail biter. I have to get acrylic nails because of it. I think my nail biting plays into my OCD tendencies.
My doggy does that to her toes.
Not anymore. However, I do find women who bite their nails seductively to be quite attractive
Have you ever tried to bite your toenails ?..
No. I've never had the desire to bite my nails.
I used to. Now I don't. My nails are always short, though, because I can't stand them long.
No although I have plenty of other bad habits.
Never have been.
Every day of my life. It is a habit but I don't consider it a bad thing because similar to you, I never actually clip my nails. Can't. It hurts like hell. Biting works out just fine so that's what I do to trim my nails.
I do.
Never. I keep nail clippers stashed in my purse, my van and other convenient places.
I hope joyouswind answers this question.
i used to until my brother asked me, "does it taste good?"
I used to all the time, but then I got obsessed with painting my nails. I didn't exactly want to eat nail polish, and if I got my fingers anywhere near my mouth I could smell and/or taste the nail polish remover from the day (or two) before. Habit broken.
I bite them when I get nervous or while concentrating on something. I noticed that I ended up biting nails when I read Xanga entries.
No.
I used to all the time when I was younger, but now I don't. It also helps that nowadays I wear nail polish a lot, so it keeps me from thinking about biting them.
so gross no way.
i also only bite my nails when they're getting long. i don't even like the way clippers make my nails feel so i just bite them when it's time and avoid the clippers all together.
My nail-biting is definitely a nervous tick kind of thing. I've gotten much better about it though, compared to how bad I used to do it.
Nope, haven't since I was a little kid.
Same as u Dan, I chew them only if I don't have any nail clippers nearby.
I try not to, but when I'm taking an exam, I often come out of it with shorter, uglier nails. Sighhhhhhh.
No...ever look at the gunk which collects underneath your nails?
I bite nails all the time, that bad, to the skin, my bad, to girls who don't like it lol
