Usually people bite their nails whether it be from the toes or the fingers, during periods of nervousness, stress, hunger, or boredom. It can also be a sign of mental or emotional disorder. It can be obsessive compulsive or can even be a completely unconscious act where the affected person is not or barely aware of the behavior whilst performing it. It has been documented that some people bite their nails in their sleep, sometimes exclusively. This has been linked to stress while dreaming or stress from the dream, or simply stress in general. It considered to be the most widespread form of mild self mutilation. According to Freudian theory, nail biting is a symptom of oral fixation. The clinical name for nail biting is chronic onychophagia.
Oral Fixation is is a fixation in the oral stage of development manifested by an obsession with stimulating the mouth (oral) first described by Sigmund Freud, who thought infants are naturally and adaptively in an oral stage, but if weaned too early or too late, may fail to resolve the conflicts of this stage and develop a maladaptive oral fixation. In later life, these people may constantly "hunger" for activities involving the mouth.
Hope this answers your question!!!
i dont.. thats gross
i bite them when im frustrated,bored,or nevous or in denile
toe nails? gross
well, some people bite their nails as a nervous habit. the eating it just 'comes' with it......idk
but her toe nails? wow..maybe she's lacking in something......or just looking for attention
It's a mixture of habit and nervous tension.
you want to keep yourself busy and your mind off of what is making you nervous. It also stimulates your stomach so that you really wont feel hungry.
I personally cannot chew my nails... i really don't get the appeal of it.
Hunger Strikes!!!!!!
I've always done it. I don't even realize until my nails are already bitten. I don't bite my toenails though. That's kind of gross. But my nails can have a little break now because i've got tips on. (:
It's a wannabe kind of a thing... Habit
I have never bit my fingernails. It's a gross habit. My friend bit her fingernails and she said she does it because she's hungry. ......yeah, it's weird...
Sick! why would she do this in front of you? ICK!
Plus your hands have germs all over them... ever go in a public bathroom and actually watch how many people wash their hands? Then you touch the same door knob to get out? Have fun nibbling on someone elses feces hands!
Probably your friend is too nervous. I know that people bite their finger nails when they are nervous, but I'm not sure about the feet!
Because I usually can't find the clippers. As far as the toes go, Yuck! couldn't put my toes in my mouth even if I wanted to
This acctualy is a very common problem.It is a very bad habit.Tell your frind that chewing your toenails or any nails are very dangerous and cause many health problems.
i dont bite my nails, but nail biting is a compulsive disorder.
she may do this because she got into the habbit of doing it at a young age but never stopped.
she also may be nervous, stressed, have anxiety, frustrated, upset, or depressed.
or, she just may not like having her nails grown out && would rather bite at them than clip them.
hope that helpss.
I chew my nails because It's an old habit. It's not as bad as it used to be....
Toenails?! That's gross!
i dont bite them. its dirty.
I believe that most people bite their nails because he or she developed that habit at a very young age. I believe that people who bite his or her nails witnessed other people bite their nails early in life.
Even though people bite his or her nails when nervous, I think most of it stems from early childhood.
Firstly! its absolutely disgusting and gross. I have heard people biting their hand finger nails when they are nervous or bored or most probably frustrated but biting toe nails, YUCKH! it is absolutely disgusting. I can totally imagine when u say your friend looks like a monkey, SURE SHE SHOULD IF SHE IS GOING TO BE EATING HER TOE NAILS. I think your friend is influenced by all these horror and disgusting movies like, HOSTEL+2, TEXAS CHAINSAW OF MASSACRE.....
I think you should tell her to F off
