    I don't do the taste buds but I bite my cheeks all the time, as well as the dead skin on my lips.

    I tend to bite the dead skin off of my lips often when I'm nervous, frustrated or stressed. It's not really a good habit though, so I try not to do it if I catch myself.

    Not so different from chewing fingers, grinding teeth or biting nails really. Lots of people have repetitive habits that manifest when they're anxious or stressed. Yours is a very mild form of self-harm which probably provides some relief from or expression of your frustration (when bored or nervous).
