Can we talk about

Gosh coming from someone who used to bite their nails, I can tell you that the struggle is real. Whether or not you used to bite and stop, or you’re still biting them, there’s no denying that it’s a really addictive habit and, kinda gross. Imagine all the dirt and germs on our fingers and under the nails…yikes. But that’s not the point of the article, let’s comb through the struggle that nail biters can understand too well.

2. You just can’t help yourself, and it gets worse when you’re nervous, watching a movie, bored etc.

3. People are shocked when they see your fingers and make remarks like “That must be painful”.

But the most common is, “When are you going to stop eating your nails?”

4. When people see you eating your nails, they slap your hand away from your mouth but they don’t understand that it’s a mission that needs to be completed!

5. You’re conscious of how your hands look like and constantly hide your hands when you get the chance.

You wish you had pretty nails whenever you’re holding a glass of champagne or a wine glass.

6. You don’t own any hand jewelry like rings…what’s the point when you have such ugly nails.

7. It’s painful. Especially when you have the little skin around the nails begin to peel.
