| @gladius That's literally me with picking and social anxiety. I'm getting tougher mentally on both but sometimes I still lose. >.> |

| My partner is a fucking saint. I snap at him at times if he stops me and he just takes it all in stride and keeps me from hurting myself, intentionally or not. He's such a sweetheart, I don't deserve him |
| Vanguard Stables |
| Gladius Yep, I really want a picky pad but It's not really something I can use in school |
| Gem Queens Estate |
| @grape I might have a touch of something. And thank you very much! XD |

| yeah kids are mean, this is why it's important to educate about the different struggles people have such as "I physically cannot stop doing this and need alternative mechanisms to deal with it, because I want to but my brain literally will not let me" |
| Gem Queens Estate |
| @grape I bet. I've never had a partner so I have no clue how I'll deal with it. I just might start to cry or something... |
| Blackwell Estates |
| I am also autistic though so that may be a part of it >.> |
| Blackwell Estates |
| Sometimes I can stop myself but if my partner stops me while I'm anxious picking, it's physically distressing for me to not pick at whatever I was focused on. It can be rough |

| Kids on the bus will tell me if I can't wear lipstick then I think blood will do, It's stupid, kids make stupid comments, but it really gets to me and I can't stop |

| seconding all of this lol even though my acne has cleared up comparatively from when I was a teen...I am constantly picking scabs and shit |
| Minerva |
| I've mostly left my hair alone thankfully but I feel you on the lips. It's my scalp as well, and when I was a teenager I went through about a year of pulling the skin off the soles of my feet. Hurt like a bitch to walk sometimes but I was too embarrassed to say anything because how the fuck do you explain that |
| Gem Queens Estate |
| If I feel any not smooth place on my face, I'm after it when I'm really stressed. Trying quite hard lately to not do it though. Trying to look good for once for someone. ;P |

| I have these three pimples on my neck that are popped, I know they're popped, I KNOW that messing with them won't do anything but make them swollen and angry, and I just... Can't stop messing with them. Usually it takes a physical barrier like a band-aid to make me stop lol |
| Vanguard Stables |
| I'll pluck eyebrow hairs and eyelashes constantly, scabs get no remorse, my lips look like I got into a fist fight with a cougar and countless other things |
| Gem Queens Estate |
| I've just learned the name of it. Its a coping mechanism apparently. O.o |
| Blackwell Estates |
| There's plenty of us, Van <3 I've picked since I was a young teen, I'm 21 now and I still struggle with it. I'll pick until I bleed if I'm in a really bad headspace. It happens. It's not healthy, but it happens. |
| Minerva |
| I also pick at *everything* Got scars all over me from various scabs I've mauled |
| Vanguard Stables |
| For me It's everything, just that uneven feeling of skin, I feel like I need to fix it |
