If you ever saw them magnified I bet you would not put them in your mouth again.

Dip your fingers in Dave's Insanity Sauce and then try biting your nails. That should stop that PDQ.

Really it is a behavior that requires "behavior modification." It means when you feel the urge to bite your nails coming on that you stop yourself and then reward yourself somehow for stopping to reinforce the way to identify and terminate undesirable habits. Nail biting and cigarette smoking are very similar in odd ways. Both are a reaction to something. Like smoking visual and non visual cues can trigger the behavior. Once you know the triggers then you can dismantle them.

Now living on the edge in this economy can be a stress that facilitates odd (aberrant) behaviors. Loneliness is also one of the worst things to inflict on a social animal. Sometimes you need to change your environment slightly to help.

You ain't crazy. The rest of the world is!
