Is it normal that i allways pick at the sides of my fingernails?

I always like bite and nibble on the sides of my fingernails. Some of my friends think it's gross but i wash my hands very often so I don't see a problem but I was wondering if it was normal? And I also sometimes bite the inside of cheeks is that normal? Idk

    I bite my nails, toenails, bite the skin off the sides like yourself and even bite the insides of my cheeks too. Nothing too weird about that.

    It's a normal nervous behavior. It usually burns itself out sooner or later.

    I do it all the time and my mom and friends think its gross. Sometimes I do it so much it bleeds.

    It is anxiety and OCD. My sister does that to the point of destroying the nailneds on her thumbs. Her MD put her on Effexor and she has stopped. It's a neurochemical disorder.
