When I'm thinking really hard or nervous about something I eat the inside of my mouth or dig a credit card or my finger nail into my gums and suck on the blood. The inside of my cheeks are very scarred and rough from pulling the flesh off with my teeth, but my gums are fine. I love going to the dentist and picking my teeth, and when I had braces I would push the wire into my gums. I'm 22, it's kinda an obsessive tick now.

    That's not just a tic, it's self harm to the point of mutilation and probable permanent damage.

    If you want to stop doing this I suggest you seek professional therapy.

    I used to pick my upper or lower lip with a pen top or something until it either bled or was a bit deep. Was just a nervous habit, and I usually knew when to stop, before it became painful or unsightly, however, there were times I'd go too far and would need a rag or whatever to stop the bleeding. Eventually stopped doing it.
