Yea I do it too because I don't have very many, but I think most people think it's weird.

Omg i do tht all the tyme!! and love it!

I do the same thing. I'll pluck until there's no more to pluck. My friend says, "why don't you just get them waxed?" but it's a sensation I get and feel relieved as I pull out. yep.. definitely not normal lol

This is an actully called trichotillmania which is an impulse control issue that helps you get reliefe when you are probabley stressed or feeling sad so it goes a little bit deeper than getting your legs waxed. Try to identify the emotions that make you want to pluck out your hair. This can cause scabs and infections when you keep pulling out your hair so can cause you some pain physically but I would be concerned about other issues in your life that make you want to do this. This does not make you abnormal or 'wierd, it is just your own way of dealing with emotional pain and for you it works but I would be concerned that your dealing with emotional pain alone and using this as self medication. Dont be scared to talk to somebody you can trust and tel them about this especially if it is a stress management mechanism because you do not want to end up pulling out hair from your scalp and your eyebrows if this habit escalates.It is not good for your health.

I pull nose hair...must be normal

Ouch!!!!
