I just need to get this off my chest. :P I'm a scalp picker, and for me the best part of picking, other than the actual peeling/picking, is getting the scabs out of my hair once I have picked them. I run my hands across my hair to see if I feel any loose scabs and then I tend to put all the scabs in a pile, sometimes I run them across my face or lips or hands. I also smell my fingers after the picking. Sometimes (and this is really embarrassing because it's so odd) I'll throw a scab and see if I can hear it hit the floor...I really, really don't know why I do this and it freaks me out that I get pleasure from it. I also will take the pile of scabs that I have made and sprinkle them back into my hair so that I cant take them out again, which gives me a sick sort of satisfaction.
What do you guys do with your scabs? I'm really interested in knowing what everyone else does, or if anyone does what I do. Just hearing other people share, no matter what kind of picking they do, makes me feel like I'm not alone in this :)
