Ever since I was a kid I've always had a bad habit of biting and eating my fingernails. At least I don't have to worry about clipping my nails, and for what it's worth I wash my hands often.

    Biting them? Normal. Eating them? Not so much. It is probably also bad for you. I bite my fingernails all the time, and I absolutely cannot stand nail clippers, so I guess I kind of understand. I would urge you to try to stop eating them though, I don't imagine they digest very well.

    You shouldn't eat them, there is nasty dirt under your fingernails

    I’ve been at it since 6th grade, anxiety has made the habit worse. But I imagine it’s normal, I guess

    Biting, sure pretty normal.
    Now eating, hold the fuck up. That's fucking creepy.

    Can't say I've ever used a nail clipper in my life. Atleast not on my nails. I pick and peel my toenails with my fingernails and bite my fingernails. I don't eat them, I spit them out but sometime not until after I've played with them in my mouth or chewed them into little pieces.
