The force you exert with your arm isn't enough for move the object you are pushing against so something has to give and absorb the energy, which is your finger bending (just as a metal pipe would bend or a piece of wood would break). Now the reason your finger bends is because it is at an angle to the object you are pushing against

If you take you hand and put you finger pressing straight down against the table, you finger will not bend. Now the tip of it might start to her from absorbing all that force, however, you will eventually not be able to apply any more force with your arm.
