Confidence and Success > How to Build Confidence
Are there places you feel uncomfortable / less comfortable being sly?
Chavster:
It's not about being religious or non-religious or attending services. It's just that you are literally surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of churches. I would have thought that you'd have visited on a school trip or something to study the art and architecture.
I went to an all-boys boarding school in quite a remote part of the country (northern Scotland) for several years, and the school trips we did were to oil rigs and industrial places like that. The school wasn't particularly motivated by culture, to say the least. I then went to school in the middle east for a couple of years and there literally were no churches. I do like architecture, but of the modern variety. Throw me into the middle of Manhattan or Dubai or Hong Kong and I stand there with my eyes wide open and my tongue hanging out, but churches / royal palaces / battlegrounds etc just bore me. I know, I'm a bad person :(

Was in a church for a funeral this past Monday. I have no problems showing my bald head anywhere, anytime.
In the first few weeks after going sly I had the feeling that people were looking up to me more often than before, this has changed, it might only be that I have gotten used to it. I guess that being bald, 6f6 and 220lbs doesn't help to go unnoticed

I too have a problem being bald in church. I sit in the very back where no one will stare at my bald head. For some reason my ear get red, warm and I get this uncomfortable feeling that everybody behind me is staring at my bald head. Everywhere else there is no problem. I'm coming into my third anniversary of being bald on September 09 and I can't see myself with hair again even though I have a head full of hair.
This pass Sunday a new minister joined the church and to my amazement, he is completely shaved bald (MPB). As always after the service, we introduced ourselves and he told me he liked my look. Two bald men.

I travel to the PRC a lot and everyone has to check out this >6 foot, 240 pound, bald westerner, with a beard. On many occasions as I pass restaurants people will stop eating and stare out the window at me. I always wonder what they are saying to each other. I have been to cities where I have not seen any other Westerner for a month...so I'm a spectacle and not necessarily the chrome dome.
