Hey, one of my former students used to pluck out his eyebrow hairs (and also the hair on his arms) in times of stress (which, for him, was all day at school, because, you know, there were *people* there, sort of unavoidably). But he had to then pull them apart into two halves, then methodically throw away first one half, then the other. It seemed like a reasonable way to cope, to me. Not terribly destructive (which he could be if he felt too cornered -- he was a hulking 250-pound adult biter); reasonably benign, and a usually-renewable source. Whatever works. (It's a hell of a lot better than my bad habit of fooling with the scabs on my hands and arms that hang around for months because of A) very slow healing due to diabetes, B)constant new owies due to dog and cat, and C) me fooling with the scabs on the owies (it's usually an unconscious activity...except when it's occasionally deliberate). Oops, sorry -- probably...no, *definitely* TMI.)
Your hair is pretty, though, so I'm glad you're leaving that alone.
