I'm pretty sure I have it, I mean when I was 5 or 6 years old I pulled out all of my eyelashes and as soon as I developed body hair I started pulling it out. Now I'm 19 years old and I will take tweezers and pull out my pubic hair and my armpit hair and my nose and inner ear hair all the time. I also pull out my dogs wirey hairs and poke my face with them (weird?). I don't know why I do it I just do it. I've never really thought about it until I came upon the term and was just like wow...I'm pretty sure that explains it. So am I right? Do you think I have this too? And how do I stop it because it's pretty embarassing when I get caught I can't ever explain what I am doing.

I also constantly like "pet" myself. Like I will sit there with my hand down my pants rubbing my pubic hair. And I like to rub the hair on my head inbetween my fingers and poke my finger pads with them. I don't really pull it out of my head though, only when it's really crimpy. I also rub my eyebrows, i didn't really notcie it until my friend took a candid picture of me doing it, now I notice it and it embarasses me.

That's lucky, if I feel the urge to pull it no matter where it is it's really hard not to do it no matter how much pain it will cause, and I just won't feel right until I've done it. I wish you the best as well :)
