RE: Sam’s Hangout #95 - “ONE HABIT”
One Habit I have come to realise I need to outgrow, is the habit of chewing my nails, wait seriously... It might be funny to you, but to me it's something I really do struggle with like crazy, one week, you see me with clean nice nails the next weeks I have eaten it, and it not that I chew it consciously, I have noticed that it is whenever I am either stressed, tensed, in a bad mood, or I'm being absent minded, before I realise , I have already eaten the nails .
It's a really bad habit.
Now what's my solution, I result to fixing presson artificial nails, why? Because it helps me avoid chewing on my nails , but then , going to the nail tech requires money , every two - three weeks , it's actually not easy to do this.
I try to now listen to how I react to things and I avoid allowing anything that's not worth it stress me. Cos this is the best I can do for me for now.
@henryjnrr the hangout has started today and ends on Sunday night.
This is kind of funny but relatable because I know a few people who do that. Funny enough, they still do that even while grown, and it's mostly an unconscious effort.
I was meaning to say how do you manage to cope with your artificial nails that you might fix as a lady. Not knowing it was your initial way of addressing the habit.
I remember some people said they put pepper in the fingers of children to stop them from chewing the nails. I'm not saying you should try it oo.😅 But it's good to see you're trying to fight the habit.
Lol ya wicked, I have jumped all the other things and concerntratednon the pepper part . Chaiiii see me na.
I no blame you

This is funny,😂 but I also realize how it has grown into a problem for you, one that needs to looked into in order for change to happen. I think the press on nails are a good solution, as it's a difficult habit to outgrow especially as an adult.
😭 I'm fighting with myself badly in this
@cohlson can you relate.

I can bet that the artificial nails hasn't solved anything.. you still chew it. 😫😫
😭🤦 God of mercy, really. I can't bite plastic na.
But it's like this, when I unconsciously go for my nails like that and I have my press on , that's Wen I know I'm already allowing whatever is wrong take over.
I can chew on the press on , I can only bite it
😂 I won't lie I laughed
I know you people will laugh this my serious matter
I've had a habit of biting my nails for a while and I'm really eager to stop. I know it can be tough to break a habit like this, but I'm willing to try sha.
I have been trying o. But it takes one bag feeling to make the discipline go aeay
Chai..babe
Oya do and outgrow it oo
I will try to o. But it's not easy
There was a time I do that too. But then, you can find your way around it, on my own end, I've stopped it, and also kept it. My nails now look like I fixed, kind of long 😁. And I've grown to love it, even though it's not comfortable at first.
I want my nails to grow back ,but it has been difficult, it seems the nails sef knows I used to chew them, they refused to grow. Until I fix the press on.

You are just like my younger sister, the last born. That girl has a specialty in eating her nails and would be smooth 😆😆 even me using blades or cutter sef no do pass her own. But seriously, I hate that thing. Well, I used to do that in the past until I stopped.
Lol. God dey. I don't know how to stop self ,God will help me
When I saw your solution I was like ,maybe I should do that but then I was like money for nail tech nko? And then my work won't allow me
You can do presson sha and then on the work part , you can fix a shorter one. I do that.
It took an embarrassing statement from one of my cousins for me to stop mine. "See 300 level student dey bite nails". He said it in the public o. I became so conscious of it and made nail cutter my companion.😁
Since I got delivered, you too will, sis.😄
