i kind of want to tell my roomies because i dont want them to think im just a bathroom hog cause im in there for a while sometimes. but i dont want them to be like weirded out or grossed out.
im thinking of sending them all a facebook message or something.. any advice?

It would be best to get them all together and talk to them in person. I’m sure they would understand. Who knows maybe they could help you with it.

Sorry to hear about your problem. I am women with facial hair. I have to pluck my facial hairs often. I also pancake my make up on to cover up the hairs.
Have you thought about buying a vanity table mirror? You can put on a desk for dresser in your bedroom.
You can buy them for about $14.00 at TJ Maxx, Marshalls.
Just tell them. I am sure they would be supportive. My own mother is empathic to me when I tell her I have to go pluck the hair off my face.

Get some therapy, keep your nails trimmed and talk to your room mates in person. Maybe they will remind you to leave your nose alone if you’re doing it without thinking.

tell them in whatever way you feel most comfortable. If it’s in a written note or a facebook message or in person, whatever works best for you to tell them what you need to say.

tell them with your mouth not through other ways… just tell them i’m sure they’d understand
