Is it normal to rub my nails?

I have this habit of rubbing the top of my nails (starting from the cuticles down ward stroking the smoothest part...lol sounds weird.) with the tip of my fingers, but they have to be smooth on top. and my fingers have to be smooth too. it just is something I can't stop doing anymore. I get anxious if I don't do it for a bit at least once a day. and it feels nicer if they are smooth but with a bump. and it feels nice if I rub my nails on the bottom of my lip too. is that weird?

    Rubbing them like that causes the horizontal bump that you like feeling. I have a small one across my left thumbnail. At least you don't bite them. :)
