That's not all OCD is, but that's part of it. Any hairpullers out there? Yeah, that's OCD.

Nope, try again.

Finger biting and hair pulling are subconcious reactions to stress, OCD involves compulsions that *cause* stress if not fulfilled.

Oh god, I had no idea so many other people bite the skin by their fingernails. I know nail-biting is fairly common among people with bad habbits, but I've never known anyone else who bites at their skin like I do. I didn't even know it was an OCD symptom. This thread gives me tears of joy. ;_;

I do it to all my fingers, but my thumbs especially, for some reason. I find little drops of blood on my sleeves or whatever I'm holding at the moment if I bite too much of it off.

lol OCD cannibalism.

Wear a rubber band on your hand for like a minute and you won't bite it now more because of the horrid taste.

To be diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, one must have either obsessions or compulsions alone, or obsessions and compulsions, according to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria. The Quick Reference to the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV-TR (2000) describes these obsessions and compulsions:
Obsessions are defined by:
1. Recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress.
2. The thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems.
3. The person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action.
4. The person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind, and are not based in reality.
5. The tendency to haggle over small details that the viewer is unable to fix or change in any way. This begins a mental pre-occupation with that which is inevitable.
6. The sufferer themselves calling their condition Compulsive Disorder Obsession so the initials are in alphabetical order.

(cont'd)
Compulsions are defined by:
1. Repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.
2. The behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts either are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or prevent or are clearly excessive.
In addition to these criteria, at some point during the course of the disorder, the sufferer must realize that his/her obsessions or compulsions are unreasonable or excessive. Moreover, the obsessions or compulsions must be time-consuming (taking up more than one hour per day), cause distress, or cause impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning (Quick Reference from DSM-IV-TR, 2000). OCD often causes feelings similar to that of depression.

tl;dr, None of you have OCD, biting your fingers is a perfectly normal subconscious reaction to stress.
