I pick at my fingers, not just the thumbs, and I like getting sunburn because it gives me an excuse to pick at my skin without mother getting upset with me, but when my brother found out he was just like "Dude, it's not an obsession. Just stop doing it." And I'd get really depressed because I pick at my scalp mostly and scabs along my body and I also pull my hair. I refuse to tell my parents. I have yet to see my therapist, but I am not going to take medicine for it. If my parents found out they'd throw me in a mental hospital. Literally.
