assistant
1. One way to stop nail-biting is to keep your hands busy. You can do this by engaging in activities like coloring, playing a puzzle game, knitting, or using a fidget toy.
2. Avoid situations that may trigger your nail-biting, such as when you're feeling bored or anxious.
3. Become aware of when you're biting your nails and make a conscious effort to stop.
4. Keep your nails trimmed short so there's less of a temptation to bite them.
5. Use bitter-tasting nail polishes or special bandages that cover your fingernails to help you avoid biting.
6. Distract yourself by talking to someone or taking a walk when you feel like biting your nails.
7. Seek professional help if the urge to bite your nails persists.
