serious skin picker over here… i can totally hyperfocus on my pores and not realize the ridiculous amount of time passing. i create blemishes out of nothing with this behavior. it was the worst in high school, but i find i regress into this behavior when i’m anxious.
i also constantly play with my hair and i don’t realize that i’m doing it… i call it monkeying. i love when i find a rogue hair that has tied it self in a knot or a split end. i do it when i’m driving, reading, etc. etc… i guess it is soothing in a way? i’m glad that i only monkey with one hand. my mom has graduated to monkeying her hair with two hands at a time!
