I managed to break this particular habit. A friend of mine commented about how she looks at people’s fingers nails…
I stopped overnight. Got an actual set of files and keep them shaped and buffed. A little oil and they are nice and shiny without any polish too
I was able to stop by teaching myself classical guitar. Suddenly there was a reason to have nails and it was easy to stop. I guess it’s similar to the other guy having nail polish. Find a reason for yourself to have fingernails instead of simply trying to stop biting them.
I’ve been attempting to stop biting my nails for decades at this point.

Have you tried nail polish? I had a nail biting phase which I successfully replaced with a nail polish phase.
I’ve had it suggested but haven’t tried it. Are you talking about color polish, or what people have tried suggesting to me, polish that tastes awful?
I do colour polish because I like colours, but frankly I’ve not encountered any good-tasting nail polish :P
