Every time I get scared or something I start to bite my nails..like when I wanna ask my dad something I get scared and bite them. Or I have band concert and I bite them..it never happened to me before and why now?

    I do this, but not when I'm nervous, I do it out of pure boredom and nothing else

    I do it, but I get sick all the time. Try to wash them frequently to reduce chances of illness

    Yeah, I have a bad habit of biting and picking at my nails. And when I'm nervous about something, sometimes I do it to try to take away the concentration that I have on the thing thats bothering me. And I noticed I kinda get shaky hands too when I'm nervous. You're lucky you don't get that. Haha!

    My only suggestion would be to think of a new way in channeling your nerves.
