Is it normal to pull out eye lashes?

Is it normal to pull out my eyelashes? sometimes they start to randomly itch and I pull out 3 to 5 at a time, the same thing with my eye brows. I have a lot, people always tell me that for a guy, I have really nice eye lashes :/... but I'm just worried that this thing could get worse

    It's a form of OCD, no joke. It's called Trichotillomania

    Normal. I think you have to pull them out or they will fall out and go in your eye at some future time.

    Not normal, they don't grow back well.

    The itchiness could be from inflammation/infection -- probably pretty mild if random itching is the only symptom, but it may help to wash your eyelids a couple times a day. (Look up eyelid hygiene.)

    Yeah I was thinking Trichotillomania. There's loads of info about it on the internet and YouTube. There's one vlogger called Beckie0 who has it and pulls out her head hair. She did a really informative video called Trichotillomania. You might like to give that a look. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiBIXMBEqgE
    Good luck =)
