Okay, so ive been picking my nails around 16 years. I recently quit picking them (about 4 months ago) except for my thumbs. Well, i quit picking my right thumb about 3 weeks ago, but cant seem to quit picking that last nail! And since its the only one im picking now, im picking it a LOT.
How can i quit picking this last fucking nail and get rid of this habit?

Start smoking.

Build a big Skinner box and have someone shock you every time you pick your nail.

I don't know what picking nails means but I'm biting my nails as I read this thread.

I used to bite my nails. I just stopped one day.
I still bite the inside of my cheeks though.

I used to be a bad nail biter. Now I'm fine unless I'm driving for a longish distance or siting in traffic.

You need to trim your nails and any extra skin surrounding the nail so there are no temptations

I'm 28 and thats what we've been calling it since I was 14 or so. I don't think that is a local thing but maybe. I did work in a liquor store and they called it half gallon, but I always called it a handle for some reason.

I've never been a nail biter. I've always picked and peeled my nails off as soon as the white part near the end of the nail grows. I have stopped picking my nails, because I use nail clippers to get rid of them now. If I start to pick at them I stop, and just cut them as soon as I can. All the way down, so my fingers are like nubs, with no nail going past the tip of my finger.

Picking nail=using my other fingernails or tools to pick at a finger nail and the skin around it instead of my teeth. Ive never bit, just picked.

Hell the white part of my fingernails start about mid way down instead of the tip from being picked for so long. My new nails "where ive stopped picking" bend backwards SUPER easy because they are so fucking frail!

So technically using nail clippers is nail picking? I would say that is quite normal. Sometimes I peel my nails off, usually I bite a little tab then peel the rest off. I thought that was normal.
