Okay so, ever since i was about 7 or 8 years old, ive had this wicked bad habit of picking at my lip. Not just like pullliing it,but i actually pick the skin OFF of my lip, i dont know why i do this. its not associated with any certain mood or feeling either, i can be nervous, anxious, scared, bored, happy or sad! I just do it constantly. And even so after it starts to bleed. sometimes my lip will get wicked chapped and fucked up, still i continue to do it.

    I do the same thing, and I've been doing it since I was really little. I always seem to do it when I'm tired or bored. It's completely normal. It's like licking your lips or biting your nails.

    Depends.

    Gently nibbling at the skin it very normal.
    Ripping your fucking face apart like in the Poltergeist ain't.

    I pick my lips too, its annoying i dont even realize im doing it sometimes. Anytime ive tried to stop my lips get really chapped and if i pick them too much they get chapped.

    I sometimes bite the skin off my lips too(not to the point of bleeding though). It's just one of those things, like biting your fingernails.
