Confidence and Success > How to Build Confidence
Are there places you feel uncomfortable / less comfortable being sly?
nuts:
I can relate to slynito's comment re China. I do some work in China and as a 70 year old with bald head and white beard I find I am often asked to pose with locals for a photo. Once one person takes a photo they all line up; I suppose they assume you are some kind of celebrity.
If someone reads this post could they tell me how to post an introduction and photo. I've been lurking for some time and reading lots of posts. From Australia and have been sly for 7 years and bearded for 45 years.
Always wanted to go bald but took some time to just shave it all off. Now wouldn't want it any other way. I find a bald head very liberating; need lots of sunscreen in the Oz sun.

That's so funny...I get that also. I was standing around outside of a store (checking out the perdy young thangz) last Chinese New Year and men and women took turns putting their arms around me and taking pictures. So I would take pictures of them while they were taking them of me. The Chinese are nice folks and can be a lot of fun.

I don't really think about it anymore. I wear a hat when I go in the sun so I don't get lobster Dome, and a beanie in the winter to keep my rock warm but that is about it.
Blitzed:
I occasionally have to go up into the Andes in winter where it's very cold. Even if I had hair, I'd wear something warm, other than that, no. Its been fifteen years and, by now, were I to show up with my head covered or, worse, with hair, it would excite considerable comment.
Sooner Steve:
Never have I felt uncomfortable anywhere about being bald. I walk in like I own the frickin' place. O0
