Is it normal to pull at my split ends

Whenever I am nervous or sad I end up pulling apart my split ends or pulling off my dead ends. I've been doing this for years. I also pull out any hair that doesn't "feel right". If it is thinner or thicker or has some different texture from the rest of my hair I need to pull it out. When I was younger I used to pull out my eyelashes and eyebrows. I also pulled out a noticeable amount of hair on my head near my part. I've gotten better, but I guess this is a small remnant. Is it normal?

    Eugh the split end thing makes me feel a bit sick! The hair pulling thing is a condition (I only know as I saw it on Embarrassing Bodies, oh you have to LOVE Embarrassing Bodies) but yeah it can get really bad, leave your hair alone maaaaaaaaan!
