Is it normal to chew the inside of your mouth?

Thanks for the replies. :)

Heh, yeah I thought I was the only one too. It's weird, I seem to do it a lot some days, and other days I rarely do. That's why I need gum so I have something else to chew. :L

I do it too. Bad habit.

I go through periods of time when I incessantly chew, like in the shower, when I'm watching T.V (till i bleed or run out of places to chew). And then there are times that I chew around friends, like when we watch T.V, or during a chat and I'm listening to them speak.

Other times I chew in public, like on the transit/walking on the sidewalk or during work.

When I was a kid I was really attached to my soother. I loved the texture of the rubber. I like gum too, but i cant chew it at work, and it tires me out more than it does chewing the skin inside my mouth.

I like the pain... Like when you eat spicy food. But I'm starting to feel embarrassed about the noticeable habit.

I also like to bite the skin on my fingers, and my nails, and my favourite is the nails on my big toe once it's been forgotten about and has grown to a moderate length. I clean it first—just for the germs—and then clip it with a clipper. Warning: I chipped part of my second front teeth with this method.

Maybe I have an oral fixation. haha.

I do it all the time :)

I do this all the time! i never even realise I'm doing it.

I destroy the inside of my mouth and I don't know why, it doesn't hurt even when I make it bleed so I just continue to chew it :)

Well, it seems like there is plenty of "us" around the globe... Count me in too! LOL

I keep DOING that. And then it gets infected, and it hurts, and :(

Omg I do this all of the time! I'm doing it right now! Inside of my mout is all peeled and rough from me chewing it and tearing it off with my teeth

Omg thts awesome haha I thought I was the only one too

OMG! I'm not alone! Crazy ! I'll vote "normal"

I do this all the time. My wife hates it. I chew until it's smooth and I start again whenever I discover an uneven spot.

OMG i didnt think other people did this awsome

i do it but just pinching the very top layer because i like making that clicking sound of my teeth peeling of the skin, but don't hurt yourself and it will be ok

I thought I was the only one.
