The word pull makes me think of this problem:

Whenever I am shedding, I get this urge to pull on hair from certain areas of my scalp, and sure enough the hairs come right out
What a classic username for this forum. I know exactley what you mean and during times where I feel like I'm shedding I'm more eager to test my hair. I do stupid stuff like comb it over a table, or massage my scalp over a table and count the hairs that fall out. In the past I used to plug my kitchen sink then stick my head under the tap water for about the minute and afterwards count the hairs in the sink. It's a very obsessive behavior and usually it never ends well.
Although I never try to pull hairs out, don't do that. When I get obsessive I just fluff my hands gently over my balding areas, but never actually pull them, it's not a good idea.
Yea I do that as well. But I need to stop it cuz that cant be good for your hair. I am just making it worse. The fact that I do that when I am not aware makes it even worse.
Totally can relate to this, especially the part with the table.
