I also have it. I usually wear a hat and put things on my fingers like gloves or something. I also keep my hair buzzed. It helps to keep your hands busy. I usually draw play with fidgets or make bracelets and stuff like that. It’s a really hard thing to stop and that’s why I buzz my hair. If u have anymore questions or this didn’t help just ask.

If you want to google more about it i think the correct word is “trichtillomania”

not sure if similar or not but i struggle with rubbing or pick my scalp. it got so bad my hair line receded. i would say to keep your hands busy or have a family member mention it to you when you are doing it, so you can stop. hope this helps!

I agree with keeping your hands busy( I have a similar unhealthy habit) and you can keep accountable to me. Like write how many times you did at the end of the day in a dm. I won’t judge you, but accountability can also help with breaking habits.

Maybe making/getting a stress ball will help so you will always have something to use your hands with when you aren’t doing anything active with your hands. And I don’t know if this is that good advice, but maybe wear gloves or mittens when you want to pick your hair and eventually after not doing it for a while you won’t feel the need to? idk, I hope this helped 😂

I used to have a bad habit of chewing on my hair, I eventually didn’t really realize I was doing it but I just tried to have my hair up but I’m not sure if that would help with what you have.
