I think acceptance and approval are big draws to this site. I'm sure it has helped many people to feel better about themselves (at least for being bald). The other topics that come up about beards and tattoos, clothes, or music are side-topics of discussion that compliment the main appeal of this site, and keep the interest for many people who may have moved on from their "baldness challenges".
BTW, you didn't have to throw yourself on the tracks... we love you just the way you are, Scottakist. -lol.
FG mentioned how he as been trying to become less attached to "stuff". I had a recent experience with this that I think is helping me to do this (or will be in the next few years). I moved into my current house 9 years ago, and this whole time there was a box of items from my childhood that I was saving. It contained several things of value and sentimental value as well. This whole time, I thought it was in my attic. Just recently, I was going to get it down for some reason, and realized it was not there... and was nowhere in my whole house. This meant that I must have left it at my previous house, which has had a couple of owners and renters over the past 9 years. I had to let go of this "stuff", wondering how I could have left it during that move, but brought everything else of such less value... and not even realize it. The move was stressful, and there were many circumstances that must have not allowed me to even think about that box during the move, but allowing me to "know" it was in my current attic (when it really wasn't). I couldn't help but think that this happened to force me to look at what is really important, and to not hold on to "STUFF". My sister went through a divorce 6 years ago, and since then, she has narrowed her existence down to very minimal items....out of her own choosing. I think she has the right idea.
Whether we are letting go of lost hair, letting go of "stuff", letting go of need for acceptance and approval, or whatever else, I think this group has each others' backs.
