how do you beat the habit of picking/biting nails?

For over ten years I've been biting/picking my finger nails and also the skin around the nails. To the point where the skin grows back tough, sort of like foot skin, tough and without much feeling. My nails are all jacked up just from biting them so much. How do you stop doing this?

use to have really fuked up nails from biting

keep nail clippers nearby to clip away the small part so you dont bite and fuk it up more and get something to play ith like a slinky or fidget spinner to take ur mind off

lace your fingers with cyanide, that should do the trick

but srs tho I read in one of my psychology textbooks, they would put something they would put something on their patient's fingers that would make it very unpleasant for them to pick at it and bite.

Have a nailclipper near you. Always keep your nails trimmed short.

Bit my nails for over 25 years.

Ded srs here's how you stop. You stop biting the nail on either the pinky or thumb and allow yourself to bite the rest. Then after a couple weeks, you stop biting the next finger and allow yourself to bite the other three. Then stop biting another after a couple weeks, etc.

I never ever thought I would break that habit but it worked.

Honestly? Rub your fingers in excrement. No matter how much you scrub them after, part of you will never want to do it again.
