Trichotillomania is the name for compulsively pulling out hair. I, too, will do that under stress sometimes, or when I have too much energy and can't hold still.

@Coda: yup, that's the name. However that disorder would cause baldnes... D: my hair is thinning now...;w;

You too? Maybe I'm not that weird after all.

It's a REALLY bad habit xD I try to break it but i just.. keep doing it ><

When I feel an urge to pick at my lips, I try to put on chapstick instead if it's available. I keep medicated chapstick lying around the house so they can heal faster if I pick at them too much and make them sore and/or bloody.

You can condition yourself out of pretty much any bad habit.

xD i don't have the help/support i need to condition myself out .. its such and unconsious action xp

Gaius 08-09-2012 09:06 PM

Habits are harder to break than actions because they are unconscious. But if I can condition myself to have frequent lucid dreams, I think you could condition yourself to avoid picking at your lips. ^^ I'd start with keeping a lip balm handy. You can even start to obsessively apply it, replacing the lip-picking habit with a chapstick-applying habit. At least you won't be hurting yourself any more. :/

I do xD I still pick at them with the stuff on. it doesn't matter if its cracked lips or soft good skin lips xD

Gaius 08-09-2012 09:25 PM

Hmmm. Wear mittens? :P

I pick at my scalp.
I have many scabs cause of it.

And i bite my nails.
To the point where they bleed, or come close to it.

I started compulsive smoking since my dad died when
I am totally stressed out. And I always have picked at
my scabs, something I am really embarrassed about since it
leaves so many scars on my legs from me being a klutz. I have
stopped picking at scabs, it was hard to do though. ( ゚ Д゚)

I like to pick at sores that come from minor scratches, because looking at it annoys me.

Ginger 08-12-2012 08:22 PM

I bite the insides of my cheeks and lips to the point of them hurting, and I play with my hair to the point of both of my arms being sore. I have no idea why I do it. I just enjoy the feeling of every individual strand being run through my fingers, and if a hair is scraggly I'll try my best to unscraggle it xD

I pick at my fingers and sometimes my toes. pfff-
Tried to cut down over the years with...... little success.

BakedGewds 08-14-2012 12:36 AM

I bite individual taste buds off of my tongue when I'm not paying attention, I'll also pick at my tongue with my fingernails.
I chew on my cheeks as well.

I pick at my skin all the time, even when there is nothing on it to pick at. My legs have little scabs from where I've picked at spots so bad; I guess I've always done it but it's gotten worse over the years.
I also chew on either my lower lip or the insides of my cheeks whenever I get nervous or feel stressed out, and when I get really frustrated I'll pull on my hair and get strains of hair out.
