This. And you want to get out of the habit sooner rather than later, because while it's one thing to pull out leg hairs, repeated pulling at specific sites can cause permanent damage to the follicles. So, I'm a girl but I have interesting bald... patterns on my scalp. It's *really* unfortunate.
There are various support groups and programmes to stop, which I would actually recommend looking into before it becomes the type of problem that you need to cover up with wigs/scarves/hairpieces etc.
Interestingly enough, children and animals sometimes pick up this behavior from their parents/owners. I have a friend with trich who has a cat that grooms large bald patches into its fur. I picked up my habit most likely from my mother, who has a much less severe case of it.
Children sometimes start with eyelashes. This causes a greater likelihood of eye infections.
Is it normal that sometimes it feels good to pluck out hairs?
