Is this self harming?

[Chrisscotland]

ok I think this is weird, ive never really noticed that I have a habit of bitting my fingers and hands, not my finger nails but the fingers themselves, it was just the other day someone pointed it out to me, its a bit weird ive never noticed it right?
I have lots bite marks on my fingers and hands from doing it they are not like terrible marks but I have made it bleed sometimes, I have been cutting myself on my arms for a while so I know that's self harm but is biting self harm too? anyone else done this?.
ive been looking on the net to see what it means but all I keep finding is tips and cures for nail biting.
I think ive been doing it for a long time and its maybe just a habit ive never really bothered about.
weird yeah?

It could be self harm if you're doing it with the intent of harming yourself. Bitting can definitely be self harm, the method doesn't matter, it's the intent that counts. Hope this answers your question :)

Sometimes it can just be a bad habit and sort of an impulse, but if you are doing it with the intent to hurt yourself in order to cope, then it can be self harm.
