I'm a nail biter. Not just the nails, but the skin around them until they bleed, and then some. I've tried the nasty tasting stuff, plasters around my fingers, fake nails (which worked mainly because they were too thick to be able to do any decent picking, but I don't want to keep fake nails), and everything else I could think of.
I even sometimes get scissors out to pick more. I've been humiliated often enough with them bleeding everywhere (including on the piano keys when I was studying music ), which obviously is humiliating, but not enough to make me stop.
I think it's a nervous thing. Any tips on how to deal with this?
