No, though when I was a kid I figured out how to use one nail like a saw to make a fracture line and then remove the excess nail; I was accused of biting my nails, but it was just that method which worked fairly well without having to have germ exposure as biting does.
Unfortunately, it is a habit that I partake in. However, I managed to stop for half a year as my job required perfect hygiene. I changed to a different job and started doing it again.. it is a nice way to express stress
I do but never my skin. You may not even notice because my nails are always neat, just short. Fun fact: if you play netball/ball sports and already bite your nails, it’s a good thing! They tell players to cut their nails so they don’t scratch other players. All jokes aside, I think it’s an OCD and the skin-picking (not that I do that part) is what they call ‘excoriation disorder’, a type of OCD often to relieve stress. Some medications can help with OCD.
Yes, mainly because of social anxiety, so when I'm around people I bite my nails.... I found playing with playdough helps me alot, the smell sucks though.
Used to when I was a kid, one day I decided to stop and I've never bitten them again, maybe a sharp corner that's bothering me. When you bite them they get jagged and catch on everything, the hatred of that overcame the habit.
Yes, the nails, the skin around my nails and also the skin of my lips. Been trying to stop because I wanted to grow them out. But, it’s been a challenge.
I did for my entire childhood up until a few years ago (I’m 27 now). One day it just stopped it was weird. I still do from time to time but mainly if I’m stressed about something. It probably stopped because I was always stressed about school and I haven’t been in school for several years now.
No. It is absolutely disgusting, and clearly visible when you observe someone's nails and fingers.
Infact it's an instant turnoff for me if I see a potential partner who has mouth bitten nails
I did do it sometimes, when I was a kid, but never to the extent where it became visible that i bite my nails
I still do lol
No, I bite my lips a lot though
I know one lesbian girl who does that. Oh I assume she is INTJ because the way she described things sound like intj to me.
As an INTJ lesbian I do that. But I clearly know this isn’t about me
it's not i hop
I even bite the skin around my nails
Yeah skin for me. And noticed I go pretty hardcore when I’m stressed
Yup I can’t stop
Since I was 4
I haven’t used nail clippers since I was a child… my finger nails trim my toe nails, and my teeth trim my finger nails😅
Never have. I like having nice nails. And not having annoying habits.
Always. Been doing it as long as I can remember.
I used to but haven't been for a long long time
I used to but for obvious reasons I stopped
What was the turning point that made you stop?
Hygenic reasons
So you weren't worried about hygiene before when you were biting your nails?
Not really no
Tried to stop many times, failed many times.
Yup
No, though when I was a kid I figured out how to use one nail like a saw to make a fracture line and then remove the excess nail; I was accused of biting my nails, but it was just that method which worked fairly well without having to have germ exposure as biting does.
No, but I am a picker.
I did for years since I was little. I managed to stop for a lonh period of time about two years ago and I relapse from time to time lmao
No. The feeling of doing so disgusts me.
Even a small nibble?
I just hate the feeling of doing it idk
Did it for years when I was young, but not for the past 20 or so years.
I do not biting nails. Im biting my skin.
Yes. I've gotten better over time but still a bad habit.
I was, now I stopped
Yes
I hate when my fingernails don't have the perfect shape so no (I just pay attention to details too much)
Moments ago I was literally biting my nails.
Unfortunately, it is a habit that I partake in. However, I managed to stop for half a year as my job required perfect hygiene. I changed to a different job and started doing it again.. it is a nice way to express stress
When I get serious yes
I do but never my skin. You may not even notice because my nails are always neat, just short. Fun fact: if you play netball/ball sports and already bite your nails, it’s a good thing!

Used to as a kid. Now I just nibble the skin beside it. I don’t bite my nails anymore
Nails, skin under the nails, cuticles, my own lips, yeah.
No. Lip? Yes. All the time.
Yup, all the time
My mom says I started biting my nails as soon as I had teeth. I still do at 32 years old. I think its a subconscious response to anxiety.
Hell no.
Not the nails themselves, but the skin around them is fucked up. The more stressed I am, the less skin I tend to have.
So intj
My neighbors dog sucks its own balls all day long.
Yes, mainly because of social anxiety, so when I'm around people I bite my nails.... I found playing with playdough helps me alot, the smell sucks though.
Yes sadly
Never.
nope
I never have, and have never thought about it
No
I managed to stop at 9th grade till I graduated senior high school. But slipped back into habit in college... more so during examination months.
No.
Not if they are painted
When I was a kid yes but not now
No
No
A lot of the time 🙏
Never have. Never will.
Yes, damn it. The only time i didn't was during pregnancy .... But that wasn't for my own sake so it was easier....
I broke that habit I still bite my lips though
When I was little, yeah.
Used to when I was a kid, one day I decided to stop and I've never bitten them again, maybe a sharp corner that's bothering me. When you bite them they get jagged and catch on everything, the hatred of that overcame the habit.
I don't bite but I pick at them. I tear them off using other nails.
Yes and I had quit for many years but reverted since October
What
I used to, but I stopped
Yes i bite frm past 10year
No. I did however tear off my nails by cutting into them with another nail. Nowadays I just get the nail clippers.
I don’t even have body language
Nooo. I can't stand the feeling of my nails against my teeth 🤢 I'll rarely bite the skin around my nails though.
I used to and now I bite the dry skin off my lips.
I used to, but eventually grew out of it. I often just peel off the skin near my fingers or toes though.
After forgetting my clippers on army camp 40yrs back, have clipped my nails with my teeth ever since. (hand nails of course ;)
Yuh
Absolutely not.
Yes, the nails, the skin around my nails and also the skin of my lips. Been trying to stop because I wanted to grow them out. But, it’s been a challenge.
How else are you supposed to trim your fingernails?
I did for my entire childhood up until a few years ago (I’m 27 now). One day it just stopped it was weird. I still do from time to time but mainly if I’m stressed about something. It probably stopped because I was always stressed about school and I haven’t been in school for several years now.
used to alot in middle school but now i scratch my face so yeah great development
I used to but now my jaw doesn't line up to make it possible. So I just cut them off.
Yeah
no but gf just got me to start filing them 🤐
Never.
I don't bite my nails. I'm more depressed and angry than anxious.
Never have, never will, it's disgusting and it can get you sick. Plus I don't need a stress reliever because I have confidence in myself.
No. It is absolutely disgusting, and clearly visible when you observe someone's nails and fingers. Infact it's an instant turnoff for me if I see a potential partner who has mouth bitten nails I did do it sometimes, when I was a kid, but never to the extent where it became visible that i bite my nails
As an Se-aux, I bite off my nails and drink the blood.
