I've bitten my nails like crazy for the past 6 years or so (I don't even let people look at my hands anymore because they're so gross) and generally the first thing people ask me is why I bite them. The thing is, I have no idea. I have anxiety, but I don't just bite my nails when I'm nervous. I bite them literally all the time, no matter what my current emotions are, and usually I don't even know I'm doing it. I've already caught myself biting them 5 times while writing this.
People say one of the steps to stopping the nail biting habit is to figure out why you're doing it and adjust your life accordingly, but I just can't find a reason for it. Can anyone relate/suggest a way to figure out why I bite my nails? I really want to stop soon!
Thanks!
