Is it normal that i peel my toenails?

Whenever my big toenails become long enough that I can feel the tip unattached to my toe, I can't stand it and I snip the tip of the toenail in the middle and tear the top and sides of the toenail off. I can't stand feeling empty space under there.

As such, my toenails grow in a rounded shape because the sides are so much shorter than the top. I tried simply cutting them short with clippers, but since the sides begin to detach much lower than the top, i have to rip the sides off too or I feel that empty, unattached space between the nail and my toe and I keep thinking about skin cells and dirt that might be trapped under there. It disgusts me.

    this could be a problem if u r so obsessed with dirt built up under there. Do u have any obsessive tendency other than this? if so u could have a issue
