I tend to pull out my eyebrows when I am doing physics homework, which I suppose could be stressful. I have only noticed myself doing this for this subject, and it has been going on for a little over a year. Once I pulled out too many eyebrow hairs and had to color in my eyebrows. It feels really good when I do pull them out. I know that if I pull too many out I look really weird, so sometimes I just touch my eyebrows and that works.

    It sounds like trichotillomania and I have it too, but I pull out hairs on my head. There's no known 'cure' for it yet, but you can get help on how to manage stress. That might help a bit.

    Years ago, I pulled my eyelashes and saved them in my pen caps. Haven't done that in long, long time, but, even now, am a habitual mustache puller, sometimes, or, often, to the point of making it so uneven it becomes a little Hitler stache and I need to shave and start fresh.

    I think it's a stress or boredom thing.

    I do this all the time with my eyebrows and eyelashes, too.
    When I get really nervous I start to smooth out my eyebrow, or I start pulling the hairs from it. However, I have such thick hair that no one has ever noticed that I've pulled out a bunch of eyebrow hairs.

    I knew a girl who did that. Looked pretty ridiculous.
