Why do people pull their eyelashes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Habit, Anxiety: Often, people pull their eyelashes out of habit. For some people it is related to anxiety, and this behavior is a way of bringing comfort. It can become a compulsive action in which people feel "driven" or "compelled" to puck their eyelashes or eyebrows.
