Does antbody know if trich can run in the family I've had trich since I was 9/10 only recently told my doctor (just thought i was a bit of a freak) i have a 9 year old boy now and can't help but notice he's always at his hair never seen him pulling but worried he will start, many thanks
I’ve wondered the same thing. I’ve noticed my 9 year old pulling her hair occasionally when she’s upset or stressed. She never did this until she observed me doing it. I try to hide it but have no control at times and just all out have a pull fest in front of her. She’s expressed in the past that it scared her because she knows it must hurt. Then I guess she tried it one day and I explained it’s not good that I pull and I didn’t want her to think that she should pull vs communicating her feelings. She said it feels good though. I think it went from observation, to repulsion, to being curious and trying it, and then liking it.
