I wish the girl sitting next to me at work would stop playing with her hair. It's triggering me so badly. Unless you have Trichotillomania, then you have no idea what it's like to live with it.   I'm not feeling sorry for myself, I'm just being honest. I'm already constantly thinking about pulling, and my bald spot, so when I see someone else bring their hands up to their head, it's like a reflex. I do it too. The most frustrating thing, is that I can't even say anything. They wouldn't know what it is anyway. They'd say, Oh, it's just a nervous tick. Just stop doing that. Those words have become the most annoying words in the English dictionary. Because I'm NOT nervous!!
