Confidence and Success > How to Build Confidence

A confidence question

(1/11) > >>

Chavster:
Ever since I first shaved my head (5 or so years ago), I've had absolutely no problem with my self-confidence, in regards to being bald. If anything, it has increased my self-confidence.

However, there's one exception to this, and I'm slightly struggling to find a solution, so any sensible suggestions welcome!

There's a store I go into most days. Its just a small local store with maybe 7 employees, and I get on very well with them all, and I'm quite friendly with the store manager, and she and I will send each other text messages occasionally, or we'll go for coffee once in a while and bitch about the world...

But for some reason, I've never yet been able to go into that store without a baseball cap on my head. I know for sure they all know I shave my head, because one or two of them have referred to it, but even so, something is stopping me from going in there without a cap or a hat.

I'm certainly not concerned about impressing them or not impressing them. I'm on a friendly basis with them all but I'm not worried about whether I'm looking attractive to them or not. So why cant I go in there with my head exposed?

Its literally the one place I have a problem. Everywhere else, I'm more than happy to show my head off to the world!

So what should I do, just bite the bullet and go in there with a naked head? Every time I've tried, I fail miserably.

Suggestions welcome!

That does sound a bit odd -- unless there's someone in the store you have a "thing" for and that's the issue.

Otherwise, I can't think of any reason why that one store could be an issue.

I'd say if it's bothering you, just go on in bare-headed and prove to yourself that it's no big deal.

Chavster:
You're right. But every time I drive to the store, I drive there with a bald head, but when I get out of the car, I cant seem to get out of it without putting a cap on. The one time I forgot to take a cap with me, I drove home to get one before I could go into the store! Its crazy. I literally dont have a confidence issue in any other circumstance or in any other place.

There's nobody in the store I have a thing for though :) so thats definitely not the reason. None of them are my type at all.

The store manager? Sounds like there might be some interest there (texting, coffee, etc).

Chavster:
Nah, its nothing like that, take it from me :)

She's a nice girl but there's zero physical attraction.
