Any recs on how to stop / heal lip bittng

[Sup3rSwaggyy1983]

@saphirecrown1 that's also bad (coming from someone who used to do both [I still chew my lips, I stopped nail biting tho🥹])

[saphirecrown1]

@Sup3rSwaggyy1983 it helped me stop tho, plus i control myself, i only bite the white parts... until i inevitably move out and can buy nail polish without being looked at weird by my family... wait thats a solution on its own, someone write that down

[Sup3rSwaggyy1983]

@saphirecrown1 oh welp, my problem was honestly extremely bad..that's an understatement, but uhh.. I used to bite my nail polish too, and even past the white part. I lowk used to bleed, and it didn't help that I chewed my skin/part of my cuticles off

@Sup3rSwaggyy1983 Yeah I still have this problem I'm a nail bitwe too though I try not to bite my nails to the point I'll bleed but sometimes I'm just biting and it happens

[Sup3rSwaggyy1983]

@SodaAddict yeah, like- it just feels weird if you stop biting them at a weird and arbitrary place, rather than just biting as far as you can

wear one of those mouthguards they use at the dentist that like holds ur mouth open until they heal !!

(satire btw, i have no idea how, all i did was switch from biting my lips to biting the side of my mouth )

@picklepepsichan i was gonna say, that sounds like a pure slice of hell

[Sup3rSwaggyy1983]

@picklepepsichan I remember that I chewed off a piece of the insides of my mouth not that long ago surprisingly didn't bleed as much as I thought it would

[saphirecrown1]

ok ive been self concious (wooooow great spelling) about biting my finger nails now that ive talked about it dear god why is everything about me suddenly weird my left eye closes slightly more than my right eye wtf is going on

okay I see the solution is to fix the bad habit by creating a new bad habit to replace your old bad habit you can't bad habit if new bad habit has fixated onto the old bad habit
