This is the most embarrassing facet of my life, but I'm not going to hide it any longer. I'm going to be perfectly blunt here...anyone else pull their pubic hair? How do you deal with it?

" I appreciate your honesty. I pull my eyelashes and eyebrows, and I hate it because it looks weird and you can only cover it up so much. I actually tried to force myself to pull pubic hair instead since it wouldn't matter if that hair was gone anyways, but it didn't work. "

" I pull my eyelashes to extreme. I pull my hair to get the loose ones out. I pull my pubic hair to get the loose ones out. Does this mean I am going to get worse and start pulling the later to extreme? Has anyone else progressed this way? "

" Honestly, I began pulling my eyebrows, but I made myself stop. A few months later, I started pulling my eyelashes, and I didn't even realize that the two incidents were related and had a name until I looked it up online. I still pull out my eyelashes, and sometimes when I run out of eyelashes I go back to the eyebrows without thinking about it. I'm not sure if it progresses or not, but I think everyone has a few areas where they pull, and if you run out of things to pull you might go to another area. "
