Skin Picking and Strange Sensations

Post Reply New Topic

Hey!

I know this is really gross, but I'm a skin/scalp picker. I have to stop for social reasons.

I googled it, and most websites say that it is a form of self-mutilation. However, for me it feels good. ANY strong sensation on my scalp feels good. I used to shave my head and I would have people run their hands over it. It is one of the best sensations out there. I hate that society forces women to have long hair.

1. What causes skin picking? I'm not depressed, I just really like different kinds of pressure on my head.

2. Does it mean something?

I know that it is a really "weird" thing to do and I am kind of embarrassed by it. I think the internet is wrong though. I don't do it because I hate myself. I do it because it feels really nice.
