Is it normal to bite the inside of my cheeks

Okay so i have a really bad habit of biting the inside of my cheeks. It sound weird but i always chew the skin on the inside of my mouth. Ill feel with my tongue if its smooth and if its not i try to bite my cheekskin until its smooth. Causing more unsmoothness. I sometimes will make myself bleed :/ is this normal? Because i feel like a freak haha

    When I start doing it I can't stop for a few weeks! I always go in cycles of doing it, it's normal

    I do this all the time and my husband teases me for it because I end up making really weird faces.

    I hope it's normal because I used to do this all the time. Then use my tongue to get the loose strips of skin off the inside of the cheek. If it's not normal, then hey, at least two of us do it.

    I totally do the same thing. It's kind of a recent thing for me, though--I've only been doing it for about two years. My parents say it's stress, but honestly, it would have to be a really delayed reaction because I'm never currently stressed when I do it. Also, I'll sometimes go a whole month w/o doing it...and then start back randomly. It's not just the inside of my cheeks, though--it's also the inside and outside of my lips (especially the corners). Basically, any loose skin in/around my mouth. I rarely bleed, though, so that's good at least.

    I've done this too without realizing it. I have to think about NOT doing it.

    I can't stop doing this! It's constantly a little painful, but I still do it. I now have a convenient little "biting bump" on the inside of my right cheek. Really normal, to me at least.
