Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling) Support Group

Really nice song. I like it.

It's beautiful.

I wonderf if he has trich himself? Or he must know someone who does?

His hair-pulling references def. sounds like more than the generic "I feel like pulling out my hair."

Thank you for sharing. That was a beautiful song, very tastefully done, and it seems like he's singing from the heart and it's real. No matter what, whomever wrote that song it's about a girl with trich and that how he feels about her.

That song just proves that there are ppl out there that can love us as we are. I loved it...

I've never heard it before but now I love this song. I'm SO putting this on my ipod soon. =-)

Thanks for this x

hell of a 'reference'....
to anyone else it could just pass over his or her head right away.

to us, it's a shout-out.

beautiful song by a brilliant artist. thanks for sharing! this song i think will be at the top of my 'most played' playlist on itunes now.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, this totally sounds like trich. I can't believe it. Makes me smile. :)

Rated 0 A beautiful song. I'd just like to add another possible meaning to it.

"This is what I look like today
And I'm trying not to pull out my hair
I'm trying not to show it 'cause I'm far too shy to grow it back there
That's probably why I like wearing hats
There's no denying I'm deferring the facts
Avoiding confrontation
Lacks tact in a situation
Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn"

What most of you probably do not know is that there is a condition called "trichotillomania". This is a hair pulling condition. A person with 'trich' always has an urge to pull his or her hair. if you want more info about this, google it. But I want to address the possibility of him referring to this.

Trich forces a person to always feel insecure, especially about one's hair. The person feels ugly, despite how pretty she is on the outside, and even on the inside. Wearing hats is a popular way for a person with Trich to hide one's bald spots, and shows obvious insecurity.

His lines that i copied above show that perhaps this is what this girl has. Perhaps she has trich, and is insecure about the way she looks. He is scared to tell her she is pretty for fear of upsetting her. Because no matter what anyone tells her, its sooo hard for her to see the beauty she possesses. Even the most important person to her could not tell her that she is beautiful. The insecurity she has is too overpowering.

"The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming"

This insecurity is overwhelming. More than anyone can take away fully. He can help her. He can compliment her. He can talk to her aboutthings, but he cannot fully take away this insecurity.

"But if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentery
And oh, it goes to show
The moral of the story is boy loves girl
And so on the way that it unfolds is yet to be told"

He is feeling that all he wants to do is make her feel like the beautiful girl she is. The "boy loves girl" line is what shows that nothign else in the world matters. This silly little condition she has has nothing to do with it. He loves her, and that's all that matters.

When you think about it, thats just an exmple of one paralyzing aspect in a relationship. What a beautiful message of 'that is all that matters, boy loves girl'.

"I know that I should be brave
Even pretty can be seen by the blind"

I think this part proves that he is really talking about the girl's inner beauty. You do not need to see someone's outer-beauty to know how beautiful the person really is.

Thanks for listening

Amazing, cake12310!! This is what we should be doing when we find references like this. We should spread the word so others know about trich!!
