issues with biting nails

Post Reply New Topic

i am over 30 years old now, i have been biting off my nails for decades but now i have realized that it's not normal, every time that i get a urge to do it i remind myself that cm long fingernails are nice

You caught me wrong footed; I'd never heard of nails that bite!

I've been biting my nails all my life but I'm not willing to change. I prefer short nails and it just makes one less chore (cutting or filing my nails).

I bite them also and I prefer them short. Long nails make me cringe.

People don't really notice your hands much anyway, especially how long your nails are, unless you paint them a bright colour maybe.

I remember when I first wore my engagement ring it took weeks for people to notice.

It depends on the person.

I used to have an autistic friend and he would comment on my nails as soon as they got slightly too long. He noticed straight away.

People hands are one of the first things I notice

Especially the nails

I guess I'm a different kind of Asperger's. I never got into fingernail biting, thumb sucking, overeating, drinking hot liquids, or spicy foods. I have an avoidive personality rather than addictive. I tried biting my fingernail once to see what the appeal was - and I found none. Why put something in your mouth that has no flavor?

My NT brother had a problem with thumb sucking, and everything he touched smelled awful. Why do something like that???

I keep mine short by clipping them but hey grow really fast
