I used to bite my nails when I was a teenager, but now i do what tracy33 does & bite inside of mouth. I think for youngsters in their 20s nail biting can be just a habit, but when you start chewing mouth, lips etc. that is definitely an anxiety symptom. I would`nt classify either as Self Harming behaviour in the clinical sense.
