Trichotellimania it's Insania
I like to pull out my hairs (any hairs) to feel their texture. I like to see why some are longer, darker, or have waxier cuticles. I know it's strange but I just love to look at the and feel them. Is this Trichotellimania?

It sounds as though it might be but, as the person before me has said, we aren't really qualified to provide medical advice, so you would be best advised to speak to a doctor about this.
Trichotellimania is actually an anxiety disorder. A lot of sufferers have been through a trauma or suffer from some other form of anxiety and pulling out hair is a physical manifestation of their feelings.
On another note, I have also heard of a case where one woman suffered severely from this while pregnant and actually ate the hair follicles after pulling them out, along with the rest of the hair. It's not a great idea, as she had to have a massive hairball removed from her stomach and intestines.
Anyway, if you speak to your doctor about this, s/he might be able to provide you with a little information on the condition and ways to keep yourself from pulling the hair out.

i read up on it And it sounds like it could be Trichotillomania. but im not a doctor and i can't tell you exactly what is wrong with you. I would go to your family doctor from there he will probly send you to a therapist.
