Nail biting

Do you chew your nails? >.<

 

yeah i bite my nails >_<

 

So do I.

I'm too lazy to actually clip them. Biting is faster. That, and it calms my nerves.

 

mine is just a habit. i bite them past where nails should be bit. they bleed sometimes and i bite them back past where the soft layer of skin connects to the nail.

 

Ow, that is just stupid kurai, that is too much biting.

Stop doing that.

Did you go to burger king to get that drink, or were you cleaning it up?

 

cleaning up. found it on the road.

and i can't help it! *nomms nails*

 

Kurai it's unhealthy not just because of the scabs, but also because it puts an unnatural amount of strain on your teeth and jaw. It also looks bad. Long story short, you need to drop it.

 

Your teeth can handle it just fine.

It doesn't hurt you, unless you bite too far up, like she is doing.

And you can learn to craft them so they look fine.

 

it doesn't strain my teeth, they're good. i've been biting them since i was 2, and i have very good teeth, no wear or tear on them,even since i got the adult ones. i don't get scabs, either. yes, they look awful. but it's not like i can just say 'oh well'. i don't even know i'm doing it 90% of the time, i do it because i always need to be doing something when i get bored, i need a way to keep myself occupied, and it's become something i naturally do in church, in the car, at school, while thinking, etc.

 

Actually, biting nails is harmful to your teeth. It's just as harmful as not brushing. Regardless, I still bite my nails, and fingers, purely because it's become so habitual.

 

No, they can't.

You also collect all the filth from under them, which further makes the habit bad for your teeth as well as your oral hygiene.

 

i brush my teeth, jeez

 

Uh...So?

That's like....

Oh, yeah, I drink hardcore liquor, but that's ok cause I drink protein shakes.

 

you can;t compare biting nails and drinking liquor, good God.

 

I believe....


I JUST DID

 

Not if there isn't an "under them", which would be the case with most nail biters. There's still all the stuff that you generally pick up when handling things, but it's not as though there's a whole reservoir of filth on each nail.

@ Fenix. Nah. It's more like eating really fatty or sugary foods but exercising a lot. One fixes the problem that the other causes.

 

stop hating me for biting my nails *chews on them in agitation*

 

*Joins in*

 

biting my nails or yours? XD

 

Biting someone else's nails? How unhygienic!
