@chill pill: actually, if you look at trichotillomania forums and pages, you'll find that many of those diagnosed with it DON'T just pull indiscriminately- they look for hair that annoys them in particular, like those especially ridgy strands.
@author: I would suggest doing research on "trichotillomania" and exerting some self-control while it's early. I have this problem and when it started I didn't realize I would never stop finding rough strands to pull out and that I would eventually target entire patches of hair (because they're usually rougher in certain areas) and that those patches would never grow back as thick as before. I'm not trying to scare you or anything, but you should stop before you regret it. Maybe I'll start collecting mine too, so I won't have to pull new ones out. I really enjoy feeling them as well.
Good luck! Take care of your hair. :)
