Is it normal to have the urge to pick at your socks?

the little bump at the end of that seam above your toes, you know? ive been doing this for about 3-4 years now. basicly i just rub it between my fingers, then i start pulling and using my nails, then i pull on a string and it just turns into a big hole. i try to get myself to stop because i know i'm ruining my socks by doing this, but the compulsion is just too strong and i can't help it! i know this isnt normal, but i'm wondering if anyone else has heard of this?

    yeah i do it too but not just my socks. if there is a loose thread on a top, i will pick at it until it comes loose and then i have to fix the hole i created or i end up just buying a new top. i think it might be a subconscious thing just to buy new clothes lol
