Most people pull their hair so why are so few labelled 'Hair-pullers'?

It is now firmly embedded in our culture for people to regularly remove their hair.

Athletes, both male and female, pull out their hair in the name of sport and competition.
Ladies pull out their hair in the name of vanity and fashion.
I pull my hair in the name of distraction and escapism.

Yet only my kind are labelled to have a problem...

It's fine to pluck your eyebrows into the standardised accepted shape, but any more than that and you have a problem....and god forbid one should get any pleasure from this action! It's supposed to be painful and unpleasant to wax and epilate, if you derive any pleasure from it you must have a problem!

So, the question I'd like to ask you is, who has the problem?
Me or society?

Once I can get past the guilt and shame forced on me from our society I quite enjoy pulling out my eyebrows and eyelashes. It takes me into my own world for a while, a world where I'm in control, I know what's goin on and the rhythmic pulling soothes me like a baby being rocked to sleep, and when I come back to this world I may indeed have less hair but ultimately no harm is done.

The harm begins when this world judges me for this, and makes me feel like I've done something sinister and wrong, like I have a big problem and I must start a battle with myself to stop this evil!

Everyone wants to escape sometimes. This world can wear you down.

Some people drink,
some people smoke,
some people party,
some people get lost in books,
some people play computer games,
some people clean their houses,
some people take illegal or legal drugs,
some people are consumed by football,
some people knit,
some people pull out their hair

Let's stop beating ourselves up about which one we happen to take on!
