I bite my skin around my nails and thumbs. I've heard its OCD but I really don't think I have that. I do it when i'm nervous or bored.I have visable scars on both of my thumbs from it. Is this normal?

    I started doing it when I was getting bullied in school. I do it when im bored or nervous usually but mostly because I can stand the sight of little bis of skin hanging off. Its a viscious cycle because the more i bite the skin the more it looks like i need to bite it/tidy the loose dead skin away.
