My name is Audra, and I'm a nail biter.
WikiHow gives a list of 14 things you can do to stop biting your nails. They don't work. I've tried them.
So this got me thinking about other bad habits. I've got quite a few:
I always leave at the last minute. I drink coffee sometimes instead of eating breakfast. I leave my clothes on the spare bed instead of hanging them up at night. I never wash my jeans. I use ! too many ! exclamation points ! in my ! emails! I talk too much in some situations, and not enough in others.
So are these things I should work on, or are they quirks that make me who I am?? I'm not sure, but if you have advice, I'd love to hear it :) I'd really like to nail this down. Get it? Nail?? ** Oops, forgot to add my bad habit of using puns way too often **
I feel like you should wash your jeans. Other than that, don't change a thing.. especially not the overuse of puns! (get it, exclamation point!)
ReplyDeleteI bit my nails for 15 years. When I was 21, I got acrylic nails for just 2 weeks and since I couldn't bite them (well, not bite off), it helped me stop biting my real nails. I also just tried to think about how dirty my fingers/nails were and that I was constantly sticking them in my mouth. Ick! :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI was a hard core nail biter for the majority of my life, I'm talking even through college. Gross. I'm not sure what the defining moment was that made me stop, but I think knowing how dirty my hands and nails are was a big factor in the reason I stopped.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should invest in acrylic nails... that might work if I get used to not getting to bite them. I really need to think about how gross it is. But Erica, jeans never get dirty, so why wash them?? :)
