Yeah, I'm occasionally a lip-biter too. And really, what else are you going to do with the skin once it's in your mouth, especially since it came from around your mouth? Heck, I just tend to bite stuff in my mouth regularly. Not a good habit (and I should really work on quitting), but it's a habit. At least I'm not biting my nails anymore (I did that as a kid, but I've become more germ-conscious as an adult and won't stick my fingers in my mouth consciously without washing them first... and afterwards. I have accidentally touched my teeth with a fingertip before; then I ran off to go rinse with Listerine XD)
I'd thought I had OCD, especially considering the research I did, but by telling myself I don't have it, I've actually felt more peaceful. It's weird. I'm still really germ-conscious, though, so not sure if that's a part of it or not. I think I've also heard that habits like picking at other skin aside from lips and plucking hair can be related to OCD, so just throwing that out there.

OCD is a mental illness that basically causes people to repeat actions a lot. For example, a person wtih OCD might feel the urge to wash their hands over and over again, or touch something more than once with both hands. There are many forms of OCD, most people think that people with it like to clean stuff, while that might be true, not everyone with OCD is like that.
I have OCD, and well, being clean isn't really a thing I worry about, but I do pick at my head a lot, or bite my lips as I already explained in the comic.

I have the same bad habit honestly...
Don't worry you are not aloneBut then right after that, I apply lip balm.
Or do it while having lip balm on and put on more lip balm.
This is how I take care of my lips, I guess...Keba Si Rota

To be honest, your friend seems to have the grosser habit. The last panel made me LOL. Seriously.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
