Eating skin

Uhhh... I'm not trolling.
So I chew on my nails a lot, but that's not it. I also chew the skin around my fingers a lot. I have a lot of hangnails and my nail beds just aren't good in general. So I got into the habit of eating the skin around my fingers. I'd chew it off (along with a nail) and eat the skin. Sometimes I collect a good bit of finger skin in my mouth before I eat it. This doesn't hurt because my fingers are pretty much always callused or the same hardness of a callus, so I just have skin for the picking.

Does this make me a cannibal?

After all, you are what you eat, so you eat yourself.

  • I also eat the skin around my nail, idk it doesn't hurt, it seems like dead skin and it's damn chewy

  • It's not really normal, but I used to do that too. I stopped when I wanted long, pretty, nails like my sister. Also, people would see my fingers and think I got attacked by an animal or something. XD

    • I can relate, one time in my sophomore year the girl that sat next to me asked why my fingers were all red and I lied and told her I'd punch something but really I bit them.

      • I also did it with stretch marks on my knees. People thought they were scars, so I let them think that. Lol

  • Well I have a habit of biting off the skin around my nail or picking at it, but never eating it
