Weird. This morning I go to scratch my nose and realized something… I haven’t bitten my nails in ages. I look down at my hands, and see the cuticles are healthy and intact, the nails are long and in need of a good sanding with one of those emory board thingies. My hands have never looked so good. I am a biter. And I can’t remember the last time I bit them. I would chew absent mindedly, but… I dunno, I am just not doing it anymore. I need a manicure to take care of these babies. The nails are long and healthy. WOW… I have no idea if the [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) contributed to this or not but, wow. ---

Biter here as well. I haven’t noticed a difference, but I’m thinking your daily mix is probably different from mine. That or I like biting more…😃 > [@sigil.tech](#): > > Weird.

Thanks all… But that’s the thing, I wasn’t TRYING to kick it. It just happened. My two best guy friends, (MichealRRR and Heretic777 here on the forums) have noticed increased confidence, and so has the wife. Maybe that’s it? I mean, these nails are needing maintenance in the way of a nail file. Weird, but cool. ---

I would say it’s cause’ you’re keeping yourself busy with pheromones, you are not biting them out of bordem… Plus the confidence boost like you mentioned, so no nervious biting. Congrats! 🙂 ---

Maybe biting nails have something to do with a confidence level lower than you’d like. And since your confidence have went up after using pheromones, the biting of nail was not longer needed. I find that I sometimes bite my nail when I feel nervous or self-conscious. ---

Yeah, totally. Confidence is no longer feigned, even when I am not wearing them… Just, I been a biter for a loooooong time, so this is new. ---

Then sir, I challenge you to become biting free. Might be a worthwhile venture, my friend. ---

Yeah, to be honest I’ve tried before and succeeded for a week and then fell back in… It’s weird, its comforting for me haha. I don’t do it only when stressed, I do it whenever. But when I catch myself doing it, it feels too comforting to stop? Ahh, I must stop haha. Maybe some spaceland will take care of that 😉 ---

Something I used to do, awhile back, with a modicum of success was to chew sugarless gum. It helped well enough. This most recent thing, tho… I have no idea how that happened… I am just not doing it, but I am not not-doing it on purpose or by design, it just happened. ---

Is it possible that biting your nails was a subconscious reaction to stress? Now that you are working with the pheros you may be dealing with things better. You certainly seem to be having fun from the reports I’ve read! 😃 ---

Oh, totally. It wasn’t stress so much as it was just generalized anxiety. I have been working to build my confidence via other methods prior to discovering pheromones here, and I think its a combination of many factors… But certainly, the pheromones have helped.
