Is it normal that my puppy bites me?

What kind of puppy do you have?

My buddy has a germ Shep pup that plays by softly trying to bite on ur hands n stuff if u can even call it biting

what type of dog?

Yes, but, you are training him to do something that might later turn into something that hurts you or worse, someone else.

Dogs use their mouths to "socialize" with each other, to play, and to show dominance.

Watch The Dog Whisperer. Get books about dominant dogs.

Your dog is trying to figure out the "pecking order" in your house....trying to figure out if you are his pet.

Get him a bone, some rawhide or a chew toy! He's just a little pup.

dawgs love bitin eachothers ears as playtime

Yes.
