I have no idea when I started biting my lips... but I used to bite my lips till bleeding. But recently I have become more aware of it and have not gone too far till bleeding. But I still, bite my lips. I realized that I bite my lips when I am sitting and my hand is free... especially when I am studying (being a student, this is what I do most of the time; sit and study). But I do not bite when I am doing other activities, and that may be because my brain is more engaged in action or my hands are busy. But when I sit and consciously try to stop it, before I know, my hand are already in my lips, helping teeth to bite.
I didn’t realize I had a problem until recently , so now I’ve been paying more attention and I do it soooooo much. I too would bite till they bled now I have some scarring that only visible when my lips are dry but even then i thought nothing of it .
i have a question, is biting your lips until they bleed, and wanting for them to bleed, considered self harming? (i don’t think it is im just curious of what category its under) even if you do it without the intent of making them hurt or thinking you deserve it? just wanting for them to bleed. i relate to a lot of what you said and am asking cuz i think you know more about it than i do..? (this may not be the case (i don’t mean it in a bad way) and if you don’t want to respond ur obviously not obligated to)
@@yourlocaldeadperson_ yeah I get what you're saying. but as of my experience, it's just wanting to bite my lips unconsciously. Then I would suddenly realize after it starts bleeding. But now, it's much under control. I don't bite till it bleeds. And idk if I'm wrong, but I realized that I often bite when I'm anxious and stressed (while reading as well; I assume reading is stressful too)
I seriously bite/chew on my lower lip so often, the people at my old job thought I was always on drugs and constantly 'chewing my face off' which actually contributed to me being fired..😭
Super late to comment on this, but found myself here today because I'm experiencing the same problem. I've never been fired from it, but it's one of the things I've been most scared of. I am so sorry that happened to you. To be honest though, a place that really cares about you would ask you maybe like what was up with your lip, you could tell them and they could maybe suggest going to a therapist or getting anxiety meds with the medical benefits that hopefully that job provides you It really sucks when people assume things from looking at us...I kind of get it that it's sometimes hard not to since maybe it's like survival or something to be able to recognize danger and go the other way but like what ever happened to people asking questions, being curious, and caring? We should all just try to be a little more open minded!
I've been doing it all my life. Even when they start to bleed I still bite them pulling flesh off. It's awful. Recently I've started to get annoyed by it to the point that I'm catching myself doing it and really putting focus into reversing the habit.
@Chris Creatives Looks like I got red lipstick on when it gets sore and bloody lol :D I've been using CBT and mindfulness to avoid it. Still bite a loose bit of skin occasionally, but it's like 95% less frequent now.
I’m sorry. I do that with my ears I pick and pick them until they bleed and scab and I’ve been doing it forever so it’s hard to break. I also suck my bottom lip and have since I was a baby it’s hard to break a habit. I’ve tried record how many times I do it a day but I can’t keep count it’s at all times
My sister and I have both bitten our lips our entire lives. And so has our mother. She now has deep wrinkles around her lips, which are normal, but we know it’s from that
Here's so DOABLE advices for you guys , (cuz i had some real problems with literally chewing my mouth , but i managed to stop it ) 1 ALWAYS keep ur lips hydrated , use Vaseline 2 have a gum in your mouth whenever you feel stressed out ( it works like magic ) 3 drink water , seems stupid , but it keeps your lips wet Hope it gets better:)
If you eat gum, you're essentially tricking your stomach into thinking you're eating, which results it to release the acid we have on our body, which could damage our stomach long term if we keep doing it.
I've been biting my lips since elementary school. I'm 55 years old and I'm about to make myself crazy. It's worse now because I've been through a lot of stress. Okay I've always been through stress. I start not knowing it. Then I realize it and do it more and get mad. Frustrated. Then I do it anyway because it's gratifying. Then I regret it. Then it's so bad I stop. Next day.. wash rinse repeat. Thank you for your video you were the only one online that took the search Within context. Lip biting. And for that I thank you.
Immensely grateful for this video. I have been searching for videos that could help me overcome this habit. I have been doing this for years now but i want to end it so bad.. Thankyou so much for this information. 🥰
51 yrs old, still biting. I don't remember when it started, most likely very young. I do it because it genuinely feels good! UGH I'm also a "picker" and nail biter. At least I'm aware that it needs to stop. 2024 right around the corner.
I enjoyed listening to your video talk. I will definitely try your ideas out and see if they will help me. My biting May not be just habit… I don’t really know if it’s due to anxiety or to an allergy to something. It started in November and I’m so desperate to find an answer to this terrible problem I’m living with every day.
God ....I am so obsessed with this habit ....I am trying to stop this habit but somehow at some pt of time I start again to bite them....nd my lower lips literally looking bulgy I think bcz of the habit😐😐😐
Biting my words. Never heard. Never allowed to speak my true mind. Even guilty of thought crime. I must bite my lips to keep from saying anything to get me into trouble and to keep my expressions undistinguished and my emotions and thoughts small. I didn’t know that until I tried to list out the instructions for teaching someone how I bite my lips.
Ok. As a life long lip and tongue biter (I can remember doing it in the 1st grade), I wanted to just say that when I do it on purpose, it actually feels good but when it's by accident like when eating, then yes, it does hurt. I usually start when I catch myself or when I feel something on anywhere I can bite inside my mouth. I've heard of people who pull out their hair just locking themselves in the bathroom and going at it, that's what I do. Usually the stopping point is I've removed the bother or get interrupted. My lips don't ulcer anymore.
I don’t remember since when I started biting my lower lip, probably last week, I thought it wasn’t serious but it formed a small bump almost identical to a pimple, I started getting worried about it as I looked in a mirror and it looked black, I know I’ve been tired lately due to my sleeping schedule so that’s probably why I’m in this state
I hate biting my lips to the part it’s numb and swollen it takes a while to go back to normal and hurts I try and stop at the bleeding part (when it starts to bleed) but when I’m doing something like building in Bloxburg or Minecraft I start biting them uncontrollably and I don’t notice It hurts a lot I hope this helps
Do you take request? Can you do a video on impulse to steal or a child who thinks an eye for an eye is fair and just reaction such as when being bullied. Would like a video to spur my own imaginative thinking on the subject. Great video as always.
Whenever I get high on green i bite my lips continuesly on the same party to hurt more everytime and even I am feeling good while biting it realise so much of dopamine in my brajn (my lips still have some anasthetic effect after my lips stitches after my bike accident) I do this on bed just before sleeping in all day I don't do not even one time I sleep in usually morning 4/5 am and I am unemployed and wake up late is this anxiety the reason for all this Lip biting or its marijuana
After biting my inner mouth, 8 use minted tooth paste.. this after brushing my teeth, I leave the paste in my mouth for a long while. The minted paste then removes the excess and the bite mark and it becomes smooth again... Then I bite.. 😪
I bite my lip on the same spot till it get red or till little blood comes next day I got dry tissues of blood ok my lips like wound heals ad I stop for 2 days till it get heals and I damage the same spot again it's because of my one Sharp and pointed teeth one of my teeth is very sharp with hurt lips like a needel
I'll try this technique but I really don't know when it starts or how I'm feeling at the time. It's just so unconscious and takes up the whole day until sleep. Will try and focus bit by bit and see how it goes. 😓
I often accidentally bite my lower lip while I'm eating, especially if what I'm eating tastes extra good. It always hurts so much. It always winds up being a very small area that I'll accidentally bite, while eating. I thought that This is what this video was going to elaborate about and advise about. Didn't know it was going to be about people who do it out of nervousness or a form of Tik. 🤔
I've been doing it since I was in middle school, lips, cheek and tongue biting 😐, I'm 25 now and freakin' doneeee (As I chew my mouth off 🤦🏽♀️) . I really want to wear cute lipsticks, have smooth, more kissable lips 😵💫 and feel less self conscious about my lips . Thank you this video 🙇🏽♀️, definitely finding out why I started in the first place ..
Me watching this while biting lips 😭🙂
Omg the exact sentence i was gonna write just after watching 8 seconds of the video 😂
Same
Lmaoooo

Same here 😢
I bite my lips 24/7 there’s no way I can stop either. It’s painful but amazing…idk how I’ll stop if I’m actually breathing 😢😭
Same but I use my braces to hook onto my lips and slowly cut them and it’s painful but the pain is addictive
Right! I would literally love to just peel my lips . Like it’s so satisfying 🤦🏿♀️
☹☹
Every time i bit my lips my friends are like ""hell no his dirty brain is activated again "" and i am might be doing homework or busy at that time
I dont bite my lip. But i took a chance. This guy is SO WITTY i was laughing out loud which i also dont usually do. Well done.
I can’t stop and it doesn’t make me feel better.. it makes me more stressed!!! I feel like a weirdo!

i keep chewing my bottom lip, top lip just literally anywhere it could even be my cheek and everytime i try to stop i end up doing it again.
you make it sound like the teeth and lips have to sign a peace treaty no fighting between each other 😂😂😂😂
I bite my lips and my cheeks, as well as grind my teeth and I have no idea why

How have I only just found you? ❤
Very well explained.
“So think carefully about any times when you might dine on your own flesh” 😂😅
I taped my lips while they're not in use like while playing games.
I don’t remember since when I started biting my lower lip, probably last week, I thought it wasn’t serious but it formed a small bump almost identical to a pimple, I started getting worried about it as I looked in a mirror and it looked black, I know I’ve been tired lately due to my sleeping schedule so that’s probably why I’m in this state
It's called a mucocele. It is a result of constantly biting your lip.
I'm watching this because I bite my lips all the time. And it's getting very annoying
Much needed. We'll explained. ❤
I hate biting my lips to the part it’s numb and swollen it takes a while to go back to normal and hurts
I try and stop at the bleeding part (when it starts to bleed) but when I’m doing something like building in Bloxburg or Minecraft I start biting them uncontrollably and I don’t notice

Will the inside of my lips EVER go back to normal?
Yes they will heal it will take a week or two
I'll try this technique but I really don't know when it starts or how I'm feeling at the time. It's just so unconscious and takes up the whole day until sleep.
Will try and focus bit by bit and see how it goes. 😓
Thank you
I start when I wake up and stop when I go to sleep
I practically eat my lips when I'm restricting
The only time where I wish I have thin lips cause its better than having crusty ass lips
