I can't stop biting and picking the fucking skin from my

Have you tried having a pack of gum around, or a piece of hard plastic? assuming you do it unconsciously.

Rub chilli on your fingers, you will stop bitting

I just jerked off to a video of a girl masturbating and her fingers were like that

I know that feel man. It is odd because on rare occasions I just suddenly stop biting them.

>Does anybody else do this?
I do. I start biting one tiny piece without realising then I have to "level" and 20 fucking minutes later my whole finger is bloody.
Doing this since I was 15 (I am 34 now), skin of my fingers looks exactly as I was burned when I was a kid.
That feel when skin is growing again tho.

I actually love when lime or lemon go on my fingers, it's pain, yes, but some sort of good pain

Cut down on salt and maybe colas if you drink them, that should decrease/end those little tabs of skin that cause you to want to do that.

>>34515082
You develop those little skins because you cut your nails too deep on the edges.

I have the subhuman finger shape too, where the fingertips are too long and the nailbed is too shallow, so the "white" part of the nail starts showing too "early".

I've tried this, but the problem is more picking at it than biting.
It's definitely unconscious for the most part, and lifting my hand up to my mouth is usually a big enough movement that I realise what I'm doing and can stop.

>>34515133
I'm happy I'm not girl, it'd probably look worse on girls.

I've done it since I was a kid, and never really paid attention.
About a year or so ago I noticed how fucking awful it looked and it's made me self conscious as fuck about what my hands look like.

Bitting the flesh out off your inner lips is pure ecstasy, your idea of pain is a carnage

I'm kind of beyond the stage where it's just a little tab of skin that I pick at.
All the skin around my fingernails is constantly dry, cracked and flaky because I've been picking at it for so long.
If I could just leave it the fuck alone for a week or two and let it actually heal properly, it'd be a lot better.

I used to do this as well until I stopped cold-turkey. Unfortunately, I still bite the inside of my mouth.

what do you mean?

Yes. I'm going to try putting something bitter and nasty on it, see if that helps.

Do you feel the warp overtaking you?

I have this problem. I mostly do it due to stress or when I'm dissacosciate strongly. It's irritating as fuck because I don't really notice what I'm doing I till I'm finished doing it. My hands are a fucking mess.

Warhammer is a game for alphas

If I'm jittery and I don't have anything to occupy my hands with I start in on it. I usually shake myself out of it before I draw blood. Usually. I don't pay it as much mind as you have though.

I used to bite my thumb

I did it so much that it had a bump on it, literally a big fucking lump of skin on my thumb formed

I stopped doing it years ago so it's gone now but I just bite my nails all the time rather than my skin and that had helped by now my nails are fucked, I don't like long nails anyway

The entire area from the top of my thumbnail to the first knuckle of my thumb is a big red swollen lumpy mess.

It looks fucking awful.

I've been biting my nails since I was little and stopped immediately after wearing braces. I keep my nails long so it doesn't look as deformed.

>Bite nails
>That part of skin between the nail and finger juts out
>Pick it up
>Gets infected, pus everywhere
I get mixed feelings about this

>>34515082
I've started biting them more now since reading this thread. Thx

>>34515638

Get one of those (or more, I have one at home, one at work). Any time something sticks out enough to bother you, cut it off. Even if you break the skin you'll do less damage than if you ripped a piece off with your teeth.
You might want to put transparent polish on your nails (even if you don't bite them), just so you get that "wait, this is different" realization when you put your finger in your mouth and remember to go for the cutter instead.
I read that rubbing olive oil on them helps, but I don't know how much of that is broscience.
