I rub my eyes a lot when i have the urge to rub i rub at least for a good minute or two both my eyes to feel ok what would cause it? is it bad?

Yes: You can cause damage by constantly rubbing that long. It is possible that a pollen allergy is the cause. Try an antihistamine eyedrop on a regular basis. If needed, see an ophthalmologist.
