I chew my fingers

My friend did that, she stoped by chewing gum instead

i used to bite my fingernails and then switched over to biting the skin around them as well. now i only do it when i am really stressed out.

its normal but not a good habit like biting your nails. Your fingers are always dirty just think of all the nasty germs and viruses youre putting in your mouth...
a friend of mine used to chomp her nails down to the pink underneath and she got a nasty infection in her nail bed and had to have the pus drained...you don't even wanna know.

I thought I was the only one who does that! I was chewing them when I found this thread, haha.

Try chewing something else, like a straw, those are fun and free, and you won't be in pain. I'm not saying to do this all the time, but it's to preoccupy your sub-conscience to do something else. The brain is a weird thing, but you can still train it.

Totally normal, my brother used to chew his fingers when he got hungry on the bus lol.

I think this is a pretty common habit. I have been chewing the skin on the tips of my fingers since I was little. It's just like how some people chew on their pencils or tap their fingers. I used to even do it to my toes as well to the point where my big toes got calloused and extremely hideous. It took me a long time to quit doing it to my toes, but I still do it to my fingers. I also chew on the inside of my lips and cheeks...so I pretty much chew at anything possible! :)

I do that all the time when I'm nervous and sometimes when I'm bored. I also have OCD, so if there's a little hang nail, I must get rid of it!

Its normal. I used to do it all the time. Its just one of those habits that will pass over time.

When in class, It was my favorite pass time. Its fun to chew on after you rip it off too, is'nt it. Normal.
