One of my podcast guys admitted the same thing, so now I feel a little less shameful admitting I went 31 years without ever using nail clippers. Been doing it since last April and just the thought of biting my nails is absolutely repulsive now

Is it embarrassing? I always just felt bad the person was dealing with being anxious. I guess it's not always in that context tho. But it's good you quit, at least something good came out of this for you.

I've been biting my nails since I was a kid. Maybe used nail clippers a handful of times (lol accidental pun). The longest I've gone without biting my nails is 4 months, and that's only happened once. The average I'm able to stop if I'm consciously trying is about two weeks.

Don't think I'll ever be able to quit.

Anxiety was part of it, but it's also something I'd do without even thinking when watching tv. I don't think any nail biter will argue that it's not a filthy habit, so yeah it's embarrassing to do as an adult
