    Yeah, I do that with all of my fingers. Only about one layer though, not billions.

    Just rub school glue on your hands and peel it off feels just as good

    No it is not normal it can be a comfort mechanism for you when you are stressed nervous scared or even thinking... I say it is not normal because it is not something to naturally take part in it is the same as biting your nails or sucking your thumb in public... It falls under that written code of you just don't do it. Lol

    I do this ALL the time. To the point where it looks gross and needs bandages. I bit my nails all thru childhood and suddenly I stopped... And started biting my thumbs. It sucks, but apparently I'm not the only one.
