Trust me, I can tolerate the pain of BBs hitting my flesh NP, as for trying to use my non existant fingernail (which, in all actuality, is the "quick" underneith my nail), I can only tolerate that for about 5 mags worth of fun.

I bit my nails off for a couple years when I was a kid, peeling them off was painful and I grew out of it. Something you should consider fixing there Mirage. Coat your nails with Krazy Glue or some other foul tasting crap to break your habit. When I worked as a dishwasher for a bit, I used to cover my nails in Krazy Glue to keep water out of the nail pores and lengthen the life of them. I can appreciate how much nails cut/ripped short hurts, I still on occasion cut my nails on my left hand too short and it makes everything hurt, putting on socks, you name it. I used to be a hardcore gum swallower, chew for a few mins then get an uncanny urge to swallow it, and did. If I spat it out, I'd get an extreme urge to swallow after for a few mins, then forget about it. Just had to make spitting gum fun and now I can keep my gum in my mouth (changed to Excel, avoid bubble gum) for an hour or two and not get a craving to swallow. Added to the fun being outside and spitting my gum out and drop kicking it as far as I could. Nutshell, it's psychological, all in your head. If you focus on stopping, you'll benefit greatly. Keep nail cutters in your pocket and focus on picking your nose instead. Lmfao, nails help that too!!!!!
