Is it normal to bite your nails all the time?

I'm one of those people who can't stop biting their nails no matter what. So how can I stop? I like to bite them, even if I know it'll have a bad effect on my hands. Ughh...and ususally people say it due to stress or anxiousness. I'm not really stressed or anything. So any help here?? This is normal....right??

    i do that, i never cut em i just bite em off particularly because it bugs me when my fingernails start getting too long to the point where they're dirty on the inside all the time or they break easily. and i cant stand having long toe nails at all so i bite those too even though it sounds gross i know

    That's a bad habit, but I do it too, as horrid as it is.

    I bite mine too- always have. It's nasty. Caffeine makes it worse. Try using Bite It- it's a bitter, clear nail polish type thing. It helps me when I use it. There are other similar products too, in the drug store.
