I'm 20 and I pick and eat my boogers, and when I do my cuticles I eat excess skin. When I was like 12 I would cut skin off the bottom of my feet and eat it until they were raw. I do this in private, but I'm embaressed.
Mmm.. chewy dead skin. The other day I took a knife and cut out a nice meaty chunk from my right thigh and fried it up. Nothin like a fried thigh meat sandwich with some foot shavings on top. Yum.
What you are doing is classified as an addiction and an obsession. It's an addiction if you can't stop doing it....you become obsessed with it. I know because I constantly pick the skin off of the palms of my hands. I don't eat the skin, but I will often chew on it and then spit it out. I can't quit doing it and my therapist has explained to me that it's just another form of addiction and OCD. There's a kind of emotional good feeling when I do it. I know.....I'm weird.
I did the same things. I remember eating alot of boogers back in kindergarden. And about eating my feet...I did that too until i was like 10-11. I remember other kids were doing the same... we have even talked about it without any shame.
And seriously...if something is good enough to be in your nose, what's the big deal in eating it! :D

You're 22 and you eat boogers? Wow you must be a wonder with the ladies.
this is not normal (i dont believe that there is such thing as "normal" seeing as normal is whatever you make it out to be) but from a medical standpoint this is not normal. there is a possibility that you may have an eating disorder or maybe even a mental disorder. its also possible that your body may not be getting enough of something so it is trying to make up for that by giving you these urges to "eat yourself"
It is a disorder but it is so common these days I'm tempted to classify it as normal. Maybe that's just because I pick holes in my face and eat my cuticles. It's relaxing in a way that nothing else is.
thats gross but everyone does it to some extent, many eat their boogers, some chew the skin around their nails - i get it. No one admits it though
The eating the boogers thing, i do that too and im only about to turn 20. I've tried to stop but i just can't seem to. About the skin eating thing, that's just something you'll prolly have to talk with someone about and see if you can get some help to stop it.
This is not fake at all. Thanks everyone for making me feel like crap about this.
