never... i don't think i even could. i tried biting them just now (i was curious... lol) but they're pretty hard, so i doubt i'd be a very successful nail-biter

I never bite my nails now. Although, I did bite them up until 9th grade, when I remember consciously making an effort to quit. I never felt that it was linked to shyness and any anxiety I was feeling though.

But now, I still bite at the skin around my nails. I really need to stop that, because it starts to hurt, and it doesn't make my fingers look too nice. I am also constantly biting on the inside of my lips and cheeks.

And still, I don't think it's linked to my anxiety, I guess I just have an oral fixation, and like biting on things. Because I'm always biting on pens too.
