Is it normal to obsessively chew my finger nails and the skin around them?

I have multiple things wrong with me and ever since my parents can remember, I have always chewed my fingers. I do have anxiety so that does play it’s toll on it but I wanted to know because they are so ruined and I’ve just turned 14. Nobody else does it af my age and I’ve tried everything I can to stop but it just won’t work.

    Well that’s normal. The only thing that surprises me about your post is that you don’t know of any other kids your age that do it. It’s common.

    I'm not going to lie to you, while chewing one's fingernails is relatively common, it's still pretty gross, and gnarly.

    I've chewed my fingers my whole life. It's gross but it's normal.
