One of the most embarrassing habits or unconscious compulsions is nail biting. Whether you are male or female, young or older, it is problem which you may have tried all manner of strategies to resolve.
It is considered to be a childhood behaviour that may have been carried forward into adulthood. Rarely does an adult start to bite their nails who never did as a child or teenager.
Many people who are nail biters will go through all sorts of avoidance strategies to prevent others seeing the condition of their nails. When bitten nails are seen by someone else a certain amount of shame may be felt as the habit suggests immaturity.
Take heart though because everyone has some issue or another and it is just that the issue of nail biting is hard to cover up. The great news is people do crack their nail biting habits and go on to grow healthy and pleasing looking nails. You can do too.
