I hope some of them are to help regrow fingernails, because that thumb is nasty!
I think this person could have Brachydactyly type D which is a genetic trait. (though they do also seem to bite their nails, but due to their condition it's not as bad as it might seem)
Not enough talk about his thumb here, IMO.
I used to bite mine when I was a kid. In my early teens I decided it was enough, and so everytime I had the urge to bite, I just went and got some clippers and cut them instead. It fixed me forever. No urge to bite. My bite was related to the annoying feeling of having long nails. But I also told myself I'm not allowed to clip them past the white part into the pink. So that also helped regrow them perfectly.
Highly recommend to try this method. Very simple and won't cost you anything but some clippers.
I bite off the white and then try to clip the rest so they look even. They get very short but at least i don't bite into the living part of the nail and don't damage it and I still get to satisfy my tick. Which is what life is all about.
The thing is also that:
It's not worth it. Life is not about gum disease and damaged teeth.
It's also still not good to rip your nails as what happens with biting. It causes damage to your nails even if you don't bite all the way down "to the meat".
And if you just search the internet for nail biting, there's SOOO many complications that can occur with nail biting, and so many bacteria you can ingest that can get you very sick.
Basically,
it's fucking nasty as fuck.
It can be difficult to just stop a stupid habit like that.
My solution was to go on a skiing holiday. Wearing gloves for a week and being away from my ordinary routine definitely helped.
๐ What an awesome solution, sounds like you had a great time and maybe also forgot about it a little bit, too, as another factor. Very good!
You know how I know he bites his nails?
I could taste his spit when I was biting them, that's how I did it. You?
