I actually do suffer from some of those symptoms, always serious, without eye contact when talking and I'm super antisocial, and always anxious, resulting in my leg shaking or my foot tapping, and I also have white hairs even though I'm only 16. I think that my trich has made me really self-conscious of my appearance and actions, to the point where I'd rather just not be noticed. I think that trich kind of sparked all of the other problems that I've been struggling with my mental health.

I don't really have the symptoms that you listed, although eye contact can sometimes be hard for me. Especially around strangers. That being said, I have been diagnosed with BPD and I do have problems with dissociation.
My Trich isn't very severe though. I really only pull hair from my fingers and toes.
Dx: BPD, Bipolar II
Medication: Abilify (15 mg)

4) Social Anxiety Disorder FTW! I've been getting a lot better about that--for some reason, work relationships are a lot easier than any other kind of interaction for me, and now that I have a full-time job I've been able to focus on applying that boon to other parts of life--though it still can be pretty crippling at times.
5) I'm a leg bouncer, and that can be a nervous behavior, though I think it's usually just to keep moving, since I spend most of my time sitting.
6) Yes to the white hairs. I saw the first one in my mid-to-late teens. Now, about 10 years after that first sighting, I still only have a handful--though I have blond hair so it's kind of hard to tell. It's nice to know that when my hair loses its color it'll go white instead of grey, though. I love pearl-white hair.
