I can%26#039;t really tell you why you do, but I can tell you you%26#039;re not alone.
I do the same thing, actually I%26#039;ve been doing it alot today as well lol.

I once heard someone saying that when people eat their boogies/hair/skin around their nails/ and I guess inside of your mouth too is a disease. I don%26#039;t think you have anything to worry about unless it gets too bad. Why not try chewing gum? I%26#039;ve found that that helps some.

As for the lump, why not try putting some ice on it?

I hope this helps Me 100% 1 Vote

• It%26#039;s a bad habit you have %26amp; you probably dont even realize when your doing it. I bite the insides of my cheeks sometimes %26amp; my bf bites his lips 24/7 I hate it! Your just going to have to wait till the lump heals %26amp; hope that you can control your habit. It%26#039;s almost like a bit of a nervous tick =o( 0% 0 Votes
• I have the EXACT problem!!! i%26#039;ve been doing it for a few years now (and i%26#039;m only 15:( ...... my teeth are chipping from it, and finally, my dentist just had enough. he yelled at me for like five minutes while explaining why self-mutilation was not the key to managing stress and stuff.... well, he told me to ALWAYS chew on some gum... that way, my teeth doesn%26#039;t get grinded down anymore and my jaw doesn%26#039;t go out of alignment...

• It is a combination of nerves and an oral fixation. Most people including myself do this especially if we no longer smoke cigarettes or pot.
