Depending on where you pull your hair, you may or may not agree with this annoying feeling I often experience. The feeling is ‘tingling’. I am pretty sure it is a psychological feeling, though it almost feels phsycial. I am constantly aware of that patch where I want to pull, and it makes me feel uncomfortable, especially when others touch it. It is not always there. I can manage to distract myself but at the worst times it really bothers me.
What feeling do you get where you pull your hair? Or do you have another habit or condition which gives you tingles?

I know exactly what you mean. That’s how my eyelids start feeling, and then I start pulling. One time it was so bad, I pulled almost every lash out. It was devastating. It’s hard growing them all back because when they start out, they’re short so they poke the bottom lid. It’s really annoying. Even where there wasn’t anything left to pull, I kept finding myself trying to pull because of that “tingling” feeling.
It really is so frustrating. Thank you for leaving your comment. I hope that it isn’t so bad for you right now. I don’t pull my lashes but it’s always my head, and looking and photos of people with trich, or looking at hairs can give me that feeling too
The feeling I get is more of an itch. It itches more than anything I’ve ever felt, and the only satisfaction comes when I pull hair out of those certain spots, but even then it still itches. I have absolutely no eyebrows, two spots above my ears are gone, and no right eyelashes.
I know this post is old, I was just searching around trying to find out what’s going on with me, and this spells out exactly how I feel. Pulling is like scratching an itch, except that scratching my head doesn’t work, I have to pull the hair out, and sometimes I pull the wrong hair, and then I have to try again. I just created a little bald patch on my head (next to a bald birth mark which makes it even worse) and I’m going nuts trying to stop. This site is encouraging, because I’ve reached my breaking point and I have to quit. Hopefully I find some way to break the habit on here, thanks for having this blog.
