(Closed) I'm a nail picker – any advice?

I have a really bad habit of picking my fingernails and the skin around them (and making hang nails).  It’s pretty gross, and my fingers/nails are not pretty.  I’ve identified that it’s a habit I developed to cope with being bored or nervous, but I really have a tough time breaking myself of it.

If I was a nail biter, I feel like I could just put something nasty tasting on them and maybe that would help me stop, but since my hands are the offenders, I’m not sure what to try. 

I’d like to have pretty nails someday; has anyone else overcome this icky habit?

Get fake nails. Like gel nails. It’s definitely an investment but it should do the trick.

Try to find a different thing you can do w. your hands. Get a stress ball or something and whenever you’re aware you’re biting your nails, make a conscious switch.
