I’ve been trying to be more mindful of when I get the urge to pull, and something that has consistently been happening is when I get the urge is my mouth starts watering? And then it gets harder to ignore the urge because I can physically feel the “need” to pull in my jaw and mouth.

My current theory is it’s because of the rituals I have after I pull a hair- running it through my mouth and teeth, sometimes biting the root- so it’s probably just because it’s an activity that involves my mouth.

Does anyone relate to this happening? I can’t seem to find anyone talking about this, so I’m just wondering if this is a normal feeling or not.
