If you are psycho: Because you bite your nails - then I am psycho too. No, biting or biting off ; ingesting bits of nails does not make you "psycho". It can be a compulsive behavior or a stress coping behavior. There are better ways to cope with stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy ; hypnosis are 2 of many ways this can be addressed. Take care.
