That definitely sounds like trich. Many people start that way (finding the texture of certain hairs different -- coarser or kinkier than others) and then become unable to stop fiddling. I fiddled for a long time before I started pulling. And I disagree with lapushka -- it IS normal for those of us who have trich and unfortunately, medication does not help most people. I would still discuss options with your doctor, though. The only way I know that is even remotely successful in helping us stop is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Habit Reversal Training. You can also try fidget toys to keep your hands occupied (I like Tangles personally). HTH
