#I don’t rlly bite past the nailbed

[theearnestonion]

Idk what synapses just lit up in my brain that sometimes when people say chewing your nails is gross, they just mean what they said. Which I dislike but at least understand. But other times, they mean having really short nails is gross. And I resent that.

#‘you should stop chewing your nails’ #past me: yeah!!! #‘think of what nice long nails you’ll have #how nice they’ll look painted!’ #past me: yeah… #no wonder that shit wasn’t clicking #now I just clip them short. I know they’re too long for me when I instinctively start chewing #if I’d know that was a way to stop chewing them #id have done it AGES ago #but everyone assumes the only reason you could possible want to stop chewing your nails is aesthetics #and not cause nails are fucking nasty and putting them in your mouth is a high risk for getting sick #and the rough edges suck. and your more likely to tear your nail #etc #idk maybe I’m the only one who felts this is a big deal but. it matters to me #anyways hey past me. just clip them baby it’s better #obviously won’t work for everyone #I don’t rlly bite past the nailbed #pretty mild so take w a grain of salt
