[Gesefa] Don't lie. You do it too

Chin stubble is my hand’s scratching post.

Nope

- I do not even understand why would you do it
- sbeve
I don’t even understand what she’s doing. Biting herself as a distraction? Scratching her palm with her teeth? I don’t know anyone who does this.
- Sometimes scratching just isn't cutting it, and the human brain is...well it's something and it tells me bite the itch cause teeth are stronger and you try and it doesn't help.
- It's so itchy you bite it to make that spot painful just for a bit to override the itchiness.
- Understanding isn't necessary. The call to bite is there and it somehow works, so you don't question it. I don't grind me teeth to mimic scratching - just bite.

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE???

But seriously though there's something about a palm being itchy, especially the thicker pad where the hand begins to transition into the wrist that just is so much more persistent than anywhere else.

I do, and I'm not even ashamed of it.

My palms do itch so much.

puts itching powder on the small of your back
- oh the old make something else worse to relieve the first thing. Don't know if it will help. Its been itchy like that since puberty.

Difficult with my feet.

That's why you do it with your teeth.
Weirdo.

But I do a little gnarl and you don't.

Me scratching the roof of my mouth with my thumb:

I usually just grab something metal to scratch with

Help me
Every time I see "metal" I think of the parrot that says "metal" or any surface name they touch
- metal

People have itchy palms? Itchy enough that they bite them?

That's fucking weird.

That's literally never happened to me, it sounds super strange. Are y'all putting stuff on your hands that's tearing up your skin? Do you moisturize regularly?

I have sensitive skin, but spend a lot of time in a kitchen with wet hands. Unscented soap to wash my hands about a dozen times a day, and unscented moisturizer to keep my skin from cracking. I'll use a thicker waxy moisturizer during the winter when it's really dry out.

I use my hands for weightlifting and golf, so I have to manage my callouses, and in the kitchen I'll pick up various small cuts and burns. My hands don't look perfect but they've never.. itched?

Your comment makes you seem shocked like a victorian era man seeing a woman's bare ankle in public.
- I don't know why, but ok?
  Itchy palms sounds more like an allergic reaction than a common issue.

Only after cutting up bell peppers without using gloves. The stabbing itch from that is unlike anything else I know.

Why would I lie? I o, heck yeah!

I might have tried it once when I was a kid but it's not as effective as a fingernail so once was enough.
