stop chewing the inside of my mouth

I think it’s definitely some sort of stress or anxiety induced thing for me. Sometimes I don’t even realize I’m doing it, and if I do I just cannot stop! I’ll make myself bleed a lot of times too from biting too much. My boyfriend hates it and every time he notices me doing it he says, “I love your mouth so stop eating it.” But I sort-of quit smoking so now what do I do??

Other people do this? Wow! I thought I was just really weird. I find that I start chewing the inside of my mouth when I am stressed or thinking about something super hard. It’s actually kinda gross though huh? My boyfriend always tells me to stop eating my face!
