Nail biting
I have a very bad habbit of biting my nails the whole day and now my fingers have started looking so ugly that I feel shy to take out my hands from the pocket. I am a heavy nail biter. I always bite my nails. Please tell me something that will help me get rid of this habbit and I can also be comfortable like other people.
