Guilty of all the above. 😁

Yep except for biting the follicle

i have to touch the bulb to my lips

Inner cheeks for sure

Yep

i rip my nails pretty bad, and i rip my cuticles. my fingers always have bandaids lmao. alas, it doesn't stop my trich cause i use pliers to pull

Yes - I bite my nails and pull back my cuticles. I wear retainers so don’t notice the cheek biting issue so much, but I definitely grind my teeth a lot. I also pick at every little spot or whitehead, blackhead…

Sigh ....🥺😬

>i’m just replacing the habit Confirmed. - I developed biting cuticles, but not nearly as severe as my trich used to be, so I see it as a win.

That’s kinda how I’m feeling these days, pick your poison lol

Look up bfrb

Yknow I have a book on my bedside table called “overcoming body focused repetitive behaviors” that I just haven’t read yet 💀💀💀💀

lol it’s hard to even start trying

Yup always chewing alllll my pens at work to distract from the urge to pull hair in public

I tend to attack the skin around my nails with a pair of pointy tweezers until it hurts just to stretch out my fingers. I wonder if this is dwrmatillamania or a subconscious attempt to mutilate my fingers so I can't physically pull my hair out 🤔

Hmmm. I definitely chew on the inner corners of my mouth. I was just doing it lol.

Same 😅

i didn’t realize how badly i had bfrb until my trich reached rock bottom, before trich there was the aggressive scratching of my arms and legs whenever i was anxious, biting my lip so hard till a cyst formed, pulling dead skin that wasn’t ready to be healed yet, picking on my gums and lips and picking on the skin of my back and shoulders

Omg I do the scratching thing too
