Why do I damage my fingers every time I trim my nails?

Why do I damage my fingers every time I trim my nails?

I can't understand why this always happens when I trim my nails. Is it a metabolic/nutritional problem or purely my technique. I feel like it happens to at least one of my nails every time, even when I am being careful.

It makes my finger so sensitive for days/weeks. It can be very painful when I knock it or touch something in the wrong way and I can't touch salt or lemon without wincing.

This question might be a little disingenuous because I know I can be a perfectionist/hyper focussed when trimming my nails which is probably at least partly to blame. I have difficulty leaving any uneven bit and this means I often over trim my nails, but I feel like there is more to it than that. It still happens when I am disciplined and cautious.

Thanks for reading. Also, does anyone have any tips on how to help the finger heal quickly when it happens?

I hope this isn't a basic question that has been answered multiple times. I tried to search my question and couldn't find anything similar.

Thanks again. I'm looking forward to your comments.

Hi,

I am looking for advice on the legalities of entering and utilising a property close to my house that has been vacant since I moved in 3.5 years ago.

The house is opposite mine and I look at it most mornings. It's a lovely Victorian detached house in a suburban town in England. It appears like it may have been split into two properties (e.g. 91 and 91a) and it appears to have been used as a commercial property at some point. Online searches (very basic) reveal that it is the registered address of a clerical type business on companies house and the listed director is old enough to have more than likely passed away.

I have no idea what I'd do with it but I can't help dreaming about occupying it and even potentially claiming ownership via adverse possession.

Although my main motivation is probably greed, it's also sad to see it deteriorate and would absolutely benefit from being used and maintained. It still appears intact (although unkempt) but it's only a matter of time before the garden invades or the roof gives out.

Is there a plausible (and legal) way that I can pursue this interest of mine or should I just forget it?

As a secondary question, if I can't benefit from the empty house, is there anything I can do to find the rightful owners or get the house some attention before it succumbs to nature and becomes unrepairable?

Thanks
