Oh gosh nooo do not pull on them. You will leave a gap in your hair if you do that to all of them (they can be quite high up) and would have to resort to a huge trim. Just leave them be. Do not obsess (easier said than done) over it, do not look at it 24/7. Just do your regular routine, no cutting stuff out, leave your scissors alone but for the one that may be splitting or breaking off. That way. And just yes, baby/pamper the hair. I mean, if I can grow a mess like that (and it was a mess) out, then you can too. Just time and patience (very hard, not gonna lie). You'll be fine!
