If you bite your nails, you'll know how hard it is to kick the habit. No amount of bitter-tasting liquid, expensive nail polish, or other tricks will stop a devoted biter from finding a way to nibble! But that doesn't mean we biters are proud of ourselves. If you've tried — and failed — to quit more times than you care to remember, you'll know what we're talking about with these GIFs!

You know that biting your nails is a bad habit.

And you really do want to stop.

So you start a rigorous routine to strengthen them up.

The problem is, those nails, they call to you!

And occasionally, you give in and have a nibble.

But if anyone asks, it never happened. That nail broke, OK?

Your friends and family try to provide support.

Even if sometimes, they take it a bit too far.

But the problem is, bitten nails just aren't strong enough!

And then you might as well bite them all to the same length, right?

Immediately, remorse sets in.

How is this so hard?!

Then, realisation sets in. You can always just paint your toenails.

All the best girls bite their nails, anyway.
