I love plucking hair out. Especially thick whiskery hairs. My nose hair, eyelashes, and parts of my eyebrows are gone but the feeling is pure bliss oh yoinking a monster.

I have this. I’ve taken out my entire face in a couple mins,.. it’s terrible and uncontrollable at times. You never know when it’ll flair up and suddenly your eyebrows and eyelashes are gone

I didn’t experience it much before but I’ve always been a nail biter and skin picker (still am), but when I met someone who explained that they had this I started getting weird itches on my head and I gave it a try and without any level of performance I was distractedly plucking my hair out and when I’d notice I’d notice how good it felt and wanna do it again.
