Discussions About Being Bald > Advantages and Disadvantages to being Bald
It doesn't seem like a solution. It seems like a trade.
Magoo:
Keep hearing Troll ? If I'm wrong I apologize , but you really have some negative thoughts.
reddog:
Yep, it might be kind of difficult to post negativity to a bunch of bald loving headshavers. People have different tastes and shaved heads aren't for everybody, but look around. More and more guys are choosing to shave their heads everyday, and it's for alot of reasons, but they keep shaving bald because they like it.
ThePangolin:
+1 to hearing troll
Choice is the beauty of life. Make yours.
Laser Man:
Yep - troll!

One of the things about this forum is we try to help newly sly guys deal with things such as nasty comments, anxiety, etc. It is indeed a journey that takes longer for some than others, but hang in there, in due time it won't be an issue for you nor outsiders.

You are right about it being a "journey".
I have shaved my head for a portion of each year for many years. Most years I get nothing but negative feedback from friends, family, coworkers, barbers, etc. And, I have always admitted that I look better with hair than without - it is just that I FEEL better clean shaven than with hair.
When I grew out my flattop out last Summer it had noticeably thinned and greyed so it did not look very youthful anymore! Then in September I shaved my head again as I often do for the Winter. It has been about 3 months now.
This time I think that I really look good with the shaved head. I don't know why. Admittedly, I did lose about 48 Lbs this year. That really makes me feel better about myself. I have started wearing more tailored shirts and slacks. I have started wearing more black clothing.
For reasons that I cannot explain, I am getting a LOT of positive feedback on the shaved head this year!?! My Mother is not complaining as loudly. People at church have given me unsolicited compliments. My psychologist has remarked on it and told me that it is a "keeper". Even some of my barber colleagues have told me that I should keep it!!!!!!! - and that is almost unbelievable coming from professional barbers!!!
I wonder if it is possible that my own more positive feeling about my looks in general are vibing out to others and becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy?
So let us know if you have this kind of experience in your own journey.
