You know what i HATE?? When you're picking at a spot.. and trying to get the stuff to come out in one piece... so you're picking at it and you think it's going to come out in one piece... but then it ends up only coming out partially and some stuff is still left inside.... so then to make yourself feel "complete" you feel FORCED or OBLIGATED or WHATVER to keep picking at it until you get all of it out...... and once it doesnt come out in one shot it's almost always a lost cause... a guarenteed bruise. if it comes out in one shot though..... you can get away with no damage. but that doesnt happen too often.......... it's like this need to feel accomplished..... and that the job isnt done until all the stuff is out...... and you know, in the past on this board picking has been compared to eating disorders. I used to think that sounds a little strange but now i think it makes perfect sense. just as in eating disorders, pickers strive for that sense of accomplishment and completeness that they get from picking.....
