I mostly stopped when I started getting fake nails. (You can absolutely bite themâŠthe consequences arenât as dire, but I have cracked a couple and dented others.) Eventually, I lost the urge. I noticed that I didnât do it as much when I was anxious as when I was bored.
If youâre not into fake nails, find something else to do with your hands when you have the urge to bite them. Doodle, get a fidget toy, twirl your pen, put your hands in your pockets. Itâs a hard habit to break.
