I always, unconciously chew the skin on the sides of my nails. I always wash my hands whenever I get the urge to do this so my hands aren't too contaminated, and I always brush my teeth, so I don't get infections, but it's like another person chewing their nails. I only do it when nervous or bored.

    I do it but I want to quit and stop biting my nails because I want them to grow and when I try there so brittle from being moistened that they break. :'(

    i pick at the loose skin on the sides of my nail, and when it gets too flappy, i bite it off. tastes good too.
