i have a habit of chewing on my thumb or inside of my cheek when i'm really stressed out or mad, and i've been thinking that doing this is a form of self-injury. i want to know if this is a form of self-injury, or if i just need to talk to somebody

If you are chewing so hard that you are hurting yourself. It could be.

It sounds like a nervous habit. You may need to talk to someone about stress.

Technically maybe? I wouldnt get too upset over it unless its causing a somewhat significant amount of damage (something besides redness or swelling) or if it's interfering with your life. A lot of people have nervous ticks like that

something to get the stress out, that isn't the worst thing you can do to relieve stress so it's fine.
If you are doing it with the intent of hurting yourself, then yes it's a form of self-injury. Find a healthy way of letting go of your emotions. Sports, music, friends, etc. I believe there is a list of things you can do in one of the stickys.

I chew the inside of my mouth a lot. Read it was a form of self-injury, but i don't do it n purpose so i don't think it really counts.
