Everytime I get my nails done I cringe the entire time. The nail drilling, nail filing, the lamp, cutting the cuticles, it all makes me cringe. Im clenching my jaw the whole time trying to endure. Probably autism but youd think the exposure would help

I’m NT and always hate the experience too 😭 it’s not enjoyable but the results are nice so I don’t like bite my nails or rip them off when they’re uneven

Same like I always tell myself “stop being a baby and just get your nails done”. The nails are always worth it, even if my cortisol is spiking higher than how it is during exam season☠️

LOL I checked my garmin during my last appointment and my stress was in the 80’s out of 100. I will say Gel X is what I’ve been doing recently which is nice since I usually rip off my nails and it damages them left and it’s a bit less filing and grabbing than acrylic.
