i like to pull my hair out, especially when im stressed or worried. I grasp my hair and run my fingers through it pulling har. i do it because i like the sound of it being pulled out.
I used to do this in my teens. Was stress-related. I'd twist the back of my hair, which was longer, around a pen, pencil, or anything that wouldn't break while pulling (silverware, too), knot the hair around the pen or whatever, and pull away. The feeling was great, and it sounded so good, that strand by strand, all knotted up yanking.
Got to a point where the woman who cut my hair, a hot as hell blonde, who'd do the scalp massage thing and drive me crazy, noticed and directly asked..Are you pulling your hair out? It's thin back here. She knew I was.
Think I was slowing down doing it anyway, but, she made me a private little deal: stop pulling my hair out, and, next cut, she wouldn't wear her usual, oversized cover/smock thing, and instead just wear a tank top. She knew guys only went to her to eye her up, and, I was really no different. But, she liked me and knew my older sister, so, didn't want me doing damage by pulling out my hair. Figured motivate me by offering the chance to eye her body in tight jeans (which she always wore) and a tank top. It worked. Next cut, she pulled the smock thing off, and cut my hair in jeans and a low-cut, black tank top that gave such a good view.
I don't think its normal. But I do it too :(. The endorphin's releases give stress relief.
I'm not sure if I can call it "normal," but I can at least tell you that you're not alone. Enjoying pulling out your hair or feeling the compulsion to pull out your hair is called trichotillomania. I've had it for years, and it's considered a psychological disorder. It can become a real problem.
this is very serious and jus thinking of the pain of pulling hair out has gone threw me!
this will stress the scalp out if u pull to often/ too hard and you don't want your hair to start falling out on it's do you!!
i hope your okay!!
i pull my hair when im stressed to but only 1 strand lol it just calms me so im no where near bald
dont worry i have it 2, its called Trichotillomania, theres heaps of stuff bout in on da internet.i though i was the only one. but i was wrong. ur not the only one
thats a real disorder and is actually really serious, you should get yourself checked out it would probably help a lot
I do the same thing. Been pulling more hair out lately than normal. Been stressed too. Let's hope we both don't go bald!
