hello marst and welcome. you might not have ocd... and since you knew to post under anxiety, I think you're right that much of it is just that.

often, especially as teenagers, we feel like we don't have enough control over our lives, thus we TAKE control over as many little things (and things that don't matter to others, so there's no fear of someone else usurping us) as we can.

if you wish to work on this, if it continues to bother you, then try and think about what is going on in your life that you wish you had control over... and try to address that

it's a tough age, we want to still do childish things, but need to be grown up it isn't till we are comfortable being an adult that we then allow ourselves to act "childish" once in a while

ps if you continue to pluck your hair, you can cause ingrown hairs, as you are causing the new growth to be below the skin line... but then, you are controlling this too.
