I've developed a bad habit and can't shake it

[facePuncher7]

I've started unconsciously pulling out facial hair, be it from my beard, moustache or sometimes even eye brows.

It's like I'll be focused on something else like work and be sitting there plucking out hairs, it's retarded. It's like I'll find out that is not of uniform length with the rest and remove it, repeat.

Didn't think too much of it until one day I looked in the mirror and there was a noticeable strip about 5mm wide missing from my moustache.

I don't recall when this habit started but I think it was within the last 2 years. Initially thought it was tied to stress but think I've ruled that out now.. can't seem to stop doing it, I legit don't notice I'm doing it until 10-20 hairs are gone.

PLS help

Try not pulling the hairs out.

Its called: trichotillomania

I used to do this with the hair on my legs when I was in college.
It wasn't uncontrollable for me, just a weird thing I did, but for some people it could get crazy.

Used to this this with my eyebrows. Always thought it was another side effect of having a huge weiner.

Children need to learn about racial harmony bro. If only they could pixelate the crying white dude out because kids gets mixed signals from that shit. They can learn how crying white dudes are a good thing from tumblr when they're 10 or something

You are pulling out hairs on your face because you are ashamed of something.

Play with your wiener instead.

Pulling out your nose hairs is much much worse. I suggest you try that to break your addiction.

It's stress or depression. If you can't take control of yourself it's to the psych doc for you.

I kind of have the same habit with my moustache. The hairs hang down over my upper lip and I can't help bite them off sometimes. It's gross and weird, but I do it anyway.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Start pulling out your pubes instead. That way you satiate your compulsion and manscape at the same time.

 

[Turtlejuice]

Every time you pull out a hair, punch yourself in the eye. Over time, you'll either learn to stop pulling out hair, or you won't be able to see that 5mm gap.

 

[Kraysla]

Wax entire face.

Stop.

It's only a matter of time before a follicle gets infected. Any infection in close proximity to the brain is extremely dangerous.

It also makes scars and generally leads to you having the complexion of a diseased hunchback.

I've recently developed an incredibly stupid habit I can't shake as well.

I will sit down, and after a while my right knee starts to hurt.
It's because, -and this is really frustrating because it's so dumb- I angle my right foot so the toe points away to the side and my kneecap begins to protest.

I put my foot in that position without realizing it, and I'm gonna fuck up my knee because of it, and all because I don't pay attention to it
