I think I’m the only one severely beaten by parents over this growing up. I started at 6 too and at 53 still doing it as this airs. Thanks for the courage and beauty of bringing your story to light. My thoughts are with you.

Watching this while pulling my hair... I dont pull it as much as before, but feeling the texture still gives me relief...

My Beard and Chest Hair Have large patches missing due to this disorder and a half an eyebrow goes missing every now and then. Thank you for helping to inform the masses

@topherlukec Год назад

Similar here. Half my eyebrows are still missing from a couple of weeks ago, and the last couple of days I can't seem to leave my beard alone. Happy to have come across this talk as well as your comment :)

No. Please don’t put Jada into the same category as people who suffer from trichotillomania. First of all, Jada does not have trichotillomania; she has alopecia. She’s also a manipulative narcissist who laughed at her husband’s suffering after she cheated on him and then threw it in his face (while smirking at him) on tv. She’s a bad example of a victim, even if she was unfortunately made fun of for her hair. I get what you’re trying to say, but please find a better example for your next speaking engagement. Never use a psychologically abusive individual as an example of a victim when you’re telling a story.

I think it's pretty clear that jada has alopecia not trichotillomania, the message from it is that the society is still not accepting someone who's looks different from others such as not having hair, and it's not important if she's manipulative or whatever, the important is the message behind.

While i completely want to agree i think it is also important to see the other side for a minute, it was not considerate of chris, if we disregard her and will's characters

Looking at all sides, Jada has always been toxic, and is not a sympathetic victim.

I disagree with this woman’s advice because I know someone who pulls her hair out and once she was exposed about it against her will, it got much worse. The more intrusive people were with her, the more she pulled out her hair. But she was also surrounded by people who were doing highly abnormal things to her, as they controlled her and abused her and nobody would help her. I watched this woman become a human punching bag and she remained that way for decades. They did such abnormal things to her until she finally started doing it to herself. She told me that the more she was humiliated and exposed the more she wanted to hurt herself.

*TO LUCKY ONE THAT READ THIS* *Stop wasting your time complaining* “People visit a wise man complaining about the same problems over and over again. One day, he decided to tell them a joke and they all roared with laughter. After a few minutes, he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled. Then he told the same joke for a third time, but no one laughed or smiled anymore. The wise man smiled and said: ‘You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over. So why are you always crying about the same problem?'” Instead of complaining, seek solution. I LOVE YOU. 💕 💕
