Are you more self-conscience since you were bald?

[SLYinKC]

Have to admit there are still times when I would like to reach for my cap and do a quick cover? 

I still have those moments every once in awhile, too.  But they are pretty rare.  I just try to remember how much better I look with anything on top.  A quick glimpse at a old picture and those thoughts are gone for a long time.

But for some reason I felt a bit self-conscious about my bald dome. It probably was the huge crowd that got to me and the fact that I was sitting in the front pew.  

Ben, I know exactly what you mean, I've had the same feeling when I've sat in the first pews at church too. It's like you can't miss the shiny bald beacon in front of everyone.

I have a slight asymmetry and when I'm walking in a crowd like a shopping centre or something I feel that people might be paying detailed attention to the back of my head. Although the only person who has said something to me is my mum and that's obviously cos she's given birth to me. But my mum pays alot of attention to people and their physical features. Maybe the thought that people are paying alot of attention to my detailed features is just a thought in my own head and that's all it is!

No self-conscienceness here. I'm very used to standing out in  crowd, I'm almost allways the biggest guy there. I am more self confident in every other way.

Since shaving your head, do you watch your posture and how you carry yourself more.

Yes. However.....Being sly means you can't stumble over a twig anymore. Didn't think about that before I shaved the head. That and I take my diet way more seriously now. Big frame, no gut and shaved head = seriously watching out for twigs.
