Some great advice given, as usual. We all experience negative thoughts at some point, it can be easier to withdraw than to face up to the harsh reality that is called life, a few years ago, I went through a rough patch, not bald related, and started shutting off to everything.... my brother in law, now deceased, came to see me and after I rambled on about life etc and how I was feeling, he simply asked "and how is that working out for you?" That made me think long and hard...you get one shot at this...if I wanted to be happier, I had to make that choice...yes its more complicated than that. . but then again....its not complicated at all....I hope you get there, just keep going

Thank you all for your posts and advices. I would like to go bald because it's frustrating to look every day in the mirror from different angles and look how much is gone today. Did you experience that people often look at you in a certain way? I'm afraid too that when I would talk to a girl while being bald I could never show her that I'm an interesting person because it would be too soon over, when she sees my bald head. When I look around I see all the happy couples and most men of them have beautiful hair.
In Germany bald men are often connected with Nazis or racist skinheads. I'm totally against them and don't want anybody to think that I'm a Nazi, so I would have to deal with that "problem" too.

I can't speak for what it is like in Germany, but having a shaved head is much more "normal" than it was ten years ago.

As far as I know most people (in the UK at least) don't make the skinhead / neo-nazi association these days.

Karma police,

Hang in there. Things will get better for you.

Great advice given as usual by the guys. I am sure you will like it once you go sly. It sure made a great difference for me. I accept it and I like it. You are not alone in the way that you feel.

Take care.

I wish you all the best.

I've only been to Germany once, and I don't know the dynamics of the Nazi culture.  I'm thinking it may be harder to by sly there, but I'm also imagining that there are ways you can differentiate yourself from the Skinhead types.  I would think that they would not dress the same, and would not have a friendly disposition.  I think people would be able to tell that you are not one of them. 

I think there used to be negative vibes here in America towards those who had shaved heads. That has seemed to go away.  Usually we are far behind Europe in everything.  Hopefully this is true for having a shaved head as well.
