Office Monkey

I dunno what you call it but i have this bad fixation/obsessive behaviour/crazy thing where i pull on my hair. i run my fingers through my hair and any non uniformed/non compliant hair is forcibly removed. I used to yank it out from the root but, for fear of going bald, i started using scissors and just snipped off the unruly bit.

recently however i’ve abandoned the scissors and found great satisfaction at a strand of hair breaking off in a snap. quite simple since unruly hair is generally weakened and frayed to begin with. by running my nails over the strand, i can get it to break off.

the weird thing is, somehow i often end up pricking myself with my hair. like, i’ve drawn blood. anyone have experience with pricking themselves with their hair? i’ll hear the hair break off with a snap and feel a pinch and when i bring my hands down, there’s a hair sticking into the pad of my forefinger.

i’ve also gotten i guess what you’d call, hair splinters. a small piece of hair, stuck in my finger that i have to coax out.

anyway, i’m gonna buy some conditioner, or maybe get some prescribed medication or something.
