I find myself doing it a lot when I'm nervous, stressed, or deep in thought (like during an exam). Is it Normal?

    Yes. This is an actual disease. Look it up. It is very common. You are not weird or abnormal.

    Not normal, but it's a coping habit. Those are normal. :)

    Alot of people have that. I knew a girl who had a huge bald spot in the middle of her head because she always pulled her hair out. Of course she always wore a pony tail though.
    Anyway go to your doctor they could prob help you out. If it's not really bad I wouldn't bother with meds.

    Have you ever seen the show on Fox called Raising Hope? The main character in that show has the same problem. Now, I know the show is fictional, but they had to have gotten the idea from somewhere, right?

    I pinch my skin with my nails when stressed but my eye lashes are too pretty to fuck with. Different people deal with stress just dont let it get out of hand.
