    I do the same thing, I have to draw on my eyebrows now. But I like drawing on my eyebrows, no more paying to get them waxed every 3 weeks.

    It's not a normal action but I'm sure you as a person are perfectly normal :) I pull out the hair on my head and have done so since I was 11. (I'm 30) I'm not bald... It's a reaction to stress, anxiety ect and I'm not usually even aware I'm doing it. I would love to find a way to stop doing it though...

    My little sister had this anxiety and she would, not pull, but rub out her eyebrows. You could BARELY notice, but I was like, wtf. I know this isn't "normal", but what the hell is? She broke her bad habit though, so it's like biting your nails. It's up to you to stop ;D

    But what I'm trying to do is whenever I reach up to do it I will bite the back of my hand.

    my sister pulls her eye lashes out, you need to try and stop yourself doing it, if you pull head hairs you'll end up half bald :/

      Same...
      I don't believe that I have trichotillomania, since it's not too severe, but my eyebrows are looking a bit thinner that they used to be. I don't think about much when I'm doing it, just pulling, looking at my fingers to see if I pulled out something and repeating.

      If it's really bad, go and see a doctor about it.

    I agree with Ella5 I do it as well more so when I stress I don't think it's "normal" but what is... I wish I could stop but sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it.

    It's Trichotillomania. Not normal but it's not unheard of.
