I have always bitten my nails ever since I can remember. I mainly bite my nails because I get really anxious and the nervousness just causes me to do that. I have tried to stop and I can do it for a while, but when I get really stressed it just comes back.
Biting my nails has always been a natural habit induced by stress. I get worse during school and normally do fine otherwise. It's not really a conscious thing, but more a way to get out nervous energy.
I bite my nails in response to stress. I normally am worse during school and get better during summer and breaks. It is not so much a conscious habit as it is a way to release nervous energy.
I bite my nails out of a very old habit that I have had since I was about 10 years old. I do it now, without any recognition that I am actually doing it. It is an autonomous action that I do throughout my day without any thought. To be honest, I do it because I always have.
Lol biting my nails is my number one habit. Although I currently have nothing on my fingers to bite, I still find ways to pick at every little piece of nail. I am not sure why I bite them. People say it is because I am nervous, but in reality, I am far from nervous. Biting my nails just makes me feel good.
I find myself biting my nails when I am anxious about something. I am a golfer so when I participate in tournaments I get really nervous so I bite my nails to take away from my nervousness. I try to paint my nails and keep them long but I end up biting them again while in a situation that makes me nervous or anxious.
I bite my nails because I can never find a nail clipper to trim them when they get to long. When they are long enough to stab my palm when I write then it bothers me and I need them shorter immediatly

I don't like my nails long, so it's become a habit to bite them whenever they start to look long. It's probably a habit that I need to break, but I do it so subconsciously that it will be hard to stop.
Biting my nails is another habit of mine, a habit that I have had for as long as I can remember. I bite my nails when I am nervous, uncomfortable, or feel awkward. I have done anything and everything to break this habit but I relapse once I reach a stressful point in life.
I bite my nails due to anxiety. When I am anxious or very stressed out I bite my nails. Even when I study or when I am taking tests I find myself doing this. It is a nervous habit that I cannot control. It is almost as if it calms me down for that point in time. It is a terrible habit to have but I have the urge to do so under pressure or stress.
I bite my nails when I get nervous. Biting my nails brings me comfort in some way and I'm not sure why or how. It is a terrible habit that I am trying to break.
I started biting my nails in high school, and now I just can't seem to stop. I try to stop, but the stress of school and work makes it hard for me. Biting my nails is a stress reliever for me.
Biting my nails has been something that I have always done. I have gotten better at not biting them as I've gotten older, but I still bite them when I'm anxious.
I bite my nails whenever I'm nervous or anxious or hungry. When I'm in a room full of people and I don't know any of them, I'll bite my nails or do some other tick of mine because I'm not comfortable. Sometimes I don't even realize when I do it, especially when I'm deep in thought or preoccupied with something.
I usually bite my nails if I am anxious to complete a task, or if I am nervous. I also bite my nails if they look too long. I know this is a bad habit to have, and I should just use finger nail clippers.
Sometimes I bite my nails when I'm nervous. I try to break the habit with the nail polish that tastes bad, but I get used to the taste and still bite my nails.
Growing up, I had a very stressful childhood as my parents were divorced so i was nervous a lot. So biting my nails became a habit for me. I just have not been able to break this habit and I am 21 years old now.
I bite my nails now as a bad habit. I have never like long nails, so I like to keep mine short and biting them is the quickest way to get the job done. I do this whenever i am stressed, or whenever I am super concentrated because it give me something to mess with.
