How to tell of if I have trichotillomania

Wasnt sure which flair to use

So since I was young I would do this thing with my eyebrows where I would use my fingers to almost comb through them to make an almost tiny knot and then pull at it. A little hair will come out, but only sometimes (I still do this, still sometimes only a little hair comes out) I also constantly get lashes that curl into my eyes so I pluck them with my fingers even if it’s not poking me in the eye or it’s one that I see in the mirror that I assume will eventually get into my eye. I also pull at hairs on my arms or legs, not always pulling them out though. I sometimes do it with my head hair or honestly any hair on my body but I’m not sure that I have trichotillomania because sometimes it’s like I’m just bored? Or sometimes I would even be actually pulling the hair out, sometimes just tugging on it. And I have this hair so I don’t have any bald spots and despite the fact that I feel I’m pulling out a lot of eyelash hairs, I see no difference in the mirror. I do know I have dermatillomania, not sure if that’s connected or not and the skin one is way worse than this but I just can’t tell if I’m in denial or if I’m just stressing myself out over nothing and making myself believe I have another problem ontop of my already terrible skin picking issue.
