Little Pleasures

[JWH]

I get so much pleasure from finding flakes in my hair and pulling them out.

Anyone else have something special to share?

 

[despise]

im not sure if thats a pleasure for me...but when i get sunburnt and my head peels then i...yes..peel the skin off. i know its horrible and yuk..but i become sortof obsessed with doing it... cant help it!! lol

Skin picking... I think it's an OCD thing. But it's SO satisfying! If I find a flake in public, I'll try to be discreet about it but god I've got to get it out.

I knew someone who just loved picking scabs - even tried to pick a few of mine! Perhaps it's the monkey genes.

 

[despise]

ah no...one of my friends has a horrible habbit of picking all her pimples..like not popping them.. 'picking them'. so now her face has these scabs all over it. i keep telling her to stop, but i dont think she notices when she does it.. yuky..

I did that in high school. I didn't have pimples, but extremely sensitive skin and a picking habit... Anyway I ended up with 'wannabe' pimples which I kept picking at till they bled. I don't have much of an issue with my skin now and luckily no scars, but every winter without fail I start picking my flakes.

 

[JWH]

What other things? I just seem to keep things of insignificance.

More to worry about.

AHHHHH MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!

there is someone out there like me!

my boyfriend gets SO MAD at me because he has horrible dandruff and the satisfaction i get from that doesn't compare to anything else in this world than picking the skin out. i can't stop myself!! i find myself wishing that it was my own head but i think that eventually my hair would fall out because i'd never be able to stop.

and the last time i sunburned really bad, i had pieces of skin peeling off the size of napkins and i had the time of my life! i can't get enough :roll:

Shit! You know what, I really do think I have OCD, mildly

don't worry, u've seen nothing worse! i have a pretty bad case of it and takes atleast 30 mins for me to be comfortable to sleep very very frustrating!

 

[JWH]

Ha! I had my very own personal snowdome!

Damn, the dandruff has gone away. It must have been the fake nails on that last hairdresser.

 

[Fredscars]

popping spots and black heads, thats my little thing

 

[JWH]

But what's really annoying lately is constantly checking the bottoms of my shoes, it's so bad I get a headache.

I check for dog shit, what about you?

Mine is plucking facial hair out like on the chin and upper lip. I have actually made it worse than it used to be as I am always plucking now the problem seems to be getting out of control so maybe I need to get it waxed.

Another thing I do is I like doing alot of craft and the glue that starts white and dries clear I love putting it on my hand and them peeling it off when it dries. I sit there for ages when I do that.

 

[JWH]

OMG!! Plastic skin buddy! Friend! I used to UHU my skin silly!

Compulsive skin picking is an impulse control disorder related to OCD. The real name is Dermatillomania, and the treatments are therapy and SSRIs. Most people who have it also have SA.

Whenever my arms or legs aren't covered I pick at the pores even when they're flawless, so it looks like I have bugbites. :roll:

 

[Yossarian]

Unlucky for the Texans though

I like plucking my eyebrows and making them nice and tidy - i don't overpluck though.
And running my fingers through my hair to get out all the knots.
I crack my knuckles a lot.
I also like to cut the harder skin from around my nails and cut off all my nails and file them down all neat.
