I pat my head repeatedly with one hand and simultaneously rub my belly with the other if I am ever "of two minds" about something. I then go with the winning hand. Cautionary note: This doesn't go over big in job interviews or work evals.

So glad it's not just me!
I find that I'm mindlessly touching or rubbing my head a lot during the day. Or just resting a hand on the back of my head.
It's actually very relaxing.

I find myself rugging the back of my head when I am at a long meeting
However, the "goatee stroke" is more relaxing and fun to do

Nope, you are not alone in this. I find myself rubbing my scalp a lot too, especially during tense moments or when I'm frustrated or exasperated.
I've even come up with a variation, the "facepalm to scalp rub transition" which occurs after I've heard/read/watched something profoundly stupid. (i.e. listening to anything Glenn Beck has to say.)
Sadly though, this happens so often these days that its just become as much of a reflex as blinking...

Actually, my hand passes over my dome more often when it's a short buzz than when it's SLY.

I used to compulsively run my fingers through my hair when I was under pressure. Funnily enough that was the same area that thinned out first

Now I find myself rubbing my scalp instead.. right on that one balding spot rather than the areas that are just thinning!

Now that you mention it, I do rub my head a lot. I guess it's comforting because it feels good. Also, sometimes I tend to have to slake off the oils that would normally be wicked up and captured by hair. And as much as I hate to admit it, being able to rub or scratch my scalp without hair in the way is actually a bonus, even if it's the only one. Thanks for posting this.

I do rub my head a lot, especially when driving and stuck in traffic! When i had long hair I used to habitually curl it round my finger, as do my sister and dad (must be a family trait!!) but now I can't do that!!

Those bald spots, smooth, soft and warm, are where I find my hand reaching to when I'm waking up in the morning, it sort of defines the areas, totally bald, sparse, and the shadow of the rim.

I rub my head and stroke my beard a lot. But the only time I listened to Glenn Beck, both of my hands were required to grab my stomach as it began to cramp painfully. In fact that seems to happen whenever I hear anything on the Faux Network.
