Like eating disorders, it is a manifestation of an internal process, which is often unconscious. It is about control, or rather feeling that we are not in control of our lives. OCD is another example and it is often difficult to point to the origin. As this beautifully described post says, it wasn't clear the source of the anxiety, but manifested in the pulling out of the eyebrows.

How people deal with their anxieties, feelings of helplessness, disgust with themselves, is important. Not everyone wants therapy but the writer has endeavoured to accept herself for who she is, which is very important. Accepting oneself, feeling that we are "normal" is a great achievement for the writer.
