Why do i do this? using my hair to continuously scratch tip of nose

So I've been doing this for about 6 years now...

I take the absolute end of my hair and pinch it right at the end so there's a little bit sticking out - this makes it sharp/pointy and I usually put it up to my lips/outer lips and all around my nose and just move it back and fourth and it scratches/pokes it.

This is something I usually do while I am watching tv, reading, doing homework, anything where I am not really using my hands. It's become a pretty bad habit. There are times when I do it an extreme amount (almost constantly doing it) and there are some times that I don't do it for a span of time, but then I pick it right back up again.

I try not to do it around people that I don't know...it's a weird thing to be doing I get it. I find myself doing it more when I am stressed out or anxious. My nose gets so red and dry and almost scabbed from doing it so much.

I feel like no one else in the world does this, I have no idea how else to even explain it.

When I was much younger (4th grade/middle school), I used to pull out my eyelashes and make the same motion with the eyelash hairs - I've kicked that habit but I'm thinking that they are connected.
