Actually, lemme just grab ye olde nerd glasses, this “practice” has a name: trichotillomania. It is an impulse control disorder that is usually characterizes by the pulling of hair such as eyelashes, head, nose, facial, and pubic hair. Other ways this can be manifested is by the mashed of bumps, pimples, blackheads, etc. However, I am not saying everyone here has some extreme ICD, but it is food for thought. Example, when I was young I guess you could say I had a very mild form of trichotillomania as I used to pull out my eyelashes, although I didn’t realize I was doing it at the time. Hey, it sounds weird to me too, I know. However, when it was brought to my attention by the school nurse I learned to stop, was no big deal. =)
