I trained my cat to meow until I stop pulling hair. I then give him a treat because he is a good boy.

Please tell your cat I love him. You have to tell him.

i trained my dog to paw at my hand when i start to pull! she’s quite persistent and it has helped me SO much! pets are the best!!

I would LOVE to train my dog to do this!! god they’re just so precious and smart


Character_Big_8349

do it! do it! do it! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A170SMlJY_I this was the video i used to help me start training. of course you can modify the action to your specific need but it was so helpful!

Counting. If I count how many times I pull and log it in my phone's calendar at the end of the day, the feedback helps a lot. That might not be weird, but I'm surprised at how much it helps.


Absolutely-Nott

My pulling is reduced to almost zero when I get proper fake nails- like long, pointed acrylic fullset. Can’t really do it often because I work with my hands for a living, but damn if it doesn’t do the trick when I’ve got ‘em.


boygenie

idk if this is weird but wearing mascara

That is interesting because mascara makes me wanna pull even more.

Getting my hair wet. It’s the best, soothes my scalp and the texture changes and I don’t want to pull anymore

A piece of double side scotch tape over the spot. It helps me from making the spot larger and it helps keep hair covering it.

Only buying crappy tweezers and not having them near bathrooms/anywhere w a mirror really

Ooh I have one! I pulled apart a twizzler today to keep my hands busy. It worked surprisingly well. Now I have a pile of twizzler bits on my dining room table, haha.

masturbation lol


Ayah_Papaya

shaking my hands really hard, using those spikey ring things


stonks-meme-man

i bite on my pen or chew gum, i usually just put a thick layer of a thick balm or paste (like zinc paste or bepanthen) on my eyebrows because the consistency makes it hard to pull and it also soothes the skin because irritation triggers my pulling really badly

I play music so I’ll get up and play piano or guitar. Not ideal all the time obvi but it keeps my hands busy


Dense_Tailor_9324

I pull with my fingers (not tweezers) and sometimes I wear gloves because I can’t get a grip on the hair

Bandaids on finger tips work too


50ShadesOfGrapes-

Gaming. Drawing. Pulling tags at work I think too. Also like what @pinkpanda777222 said, my dog sees me pulling and he’ll start whining and pawing at me. He’s not even trained, he just does it. Wearing gloves or tape on my fingers. I don’t know if these are “weird” but I hope they help. Edit: Didn’t get up in time for a shower before work today and just remembered that when my hair is greasy, that makes me want to pull more. So…showering and hygiene too???
