She added, "It doesn’t hurt, but it’s really annoying. Every time I run out of the house, I have to stop and pick up a whole set of fake eyelashes.”

The impulse-control disorder has a serious name, trichoillomania, and people afflicted by it can pull out hair from their body. Apparently eyebrows and eyelashes are the most common.

The Newsroom actress pointed out the disorder impacts her social interactions. "I don’t want people to be mean to me. As an Air Force kid, I moved around a lot when I was younger and no one was nice to the new kid. So there is always this feeling that someone will make fun of me.”
