Is it normal that i'm a picker?

I have bad habit of always picking at and pulling off the skin underneath and around my fingernails. I'll bite it, I'll pick it off, I'll use a pin or tweezers. I often do it until it bleeds or I give myself hangnails. Sometimes I do it to my toes. The skin around them comes off so easily. I'm not talking about the actual flesh - just the thin layer around the cuticles and underneath. It's a habit like biting your fingernails but it makes my hands look kind of haggard and weird and it makes me self-conscious. Does anyone else do this?

    I do the same thing. You sort of get immune to the pain you get in your fingers if you do it often enough and I've done it since I was a kid. It keeps me from biting my nails but the area around them always looks fucked up and bloody or raw.

    Hmm...I do thangs with my finger skin too. Okay that does sound strange or maybe my mind is weird. It's probably my mind.

    If I get a hang nail I don't cut it with a nail clipper but instead I pull it back and then rip it out by the root. It bleeds of course and then if I feel like it and my hands are clean I'll lick and suck the blood.
