I am very new to psychology and to the idea of talking to others about me, but the quasi-anonymity really helps. This may sound weird, but now that I questioned myself I'd like to know what y'all think.
I like to stroke my beard. While doing so I'll find a hair and play with it individually until it falls out. If it doesn't come out immediately I'll twist it or yank on it until it does come out. I probably go through 10 to 30 hairs an hour (when I'm not doing something w/ my hands) stopping only when my chin is numb from the little pains. generally they are all healthy hairs, so they bleed a little when plucked. And yes, I do go through a lot of beards. Do you think this is si or just a nervous habit?
