This might sound so silly, but I have started to obsessively bite and lick my lips. Especially when feeling anxious or in a social situation I feel uncomfortable.

I am sure it’s some kind of OCD behaviour (I’ve had others before) but this makes me so self conscious. I feel people either consciously or subconsciously lick their lips when they’re taking to me as mine feel so dry. It’s a vicious cycle as I lick my lips because they feel dry but they’re only dry as I’ve been licking them. Then I obsessively apply lip balm as it calms it down for all of 15 minutes before the cycle starts again.

Any advice or others who have experienced this? I think I need to seek help but not sure what. Hoping hypnotism can snap me out of it? Just know I shouldn’t do it but I can’t stop.

Natural aloe vera gel. Fresh from the plant, not a tube. Will heal the lips and tastes revolting so should help avoid doing it.
