Title: Being a bald Asian-American
Post by: 92sly on January 30, 2015, 11:50:54 PM: Hey guys, just new here.

I'm 22 years old from California. I recently just shave my head when my depression and anxiety led me to a psychiatric ward in having suicidal thoughts. Just made some wrong decision and tried the isolation path for 5 years. I always had this misconception that being a bald Asian-American I wouldn't be accepted in bald culture because they expect you to look like Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, etc. But after experiencing that ordeal I was able to do some self reflection and realized how blessed I was. I won't go in full detail and bore you guys but I'm happy to be alive!

Post by: Semi-Sly on January 31, 2015, 05:05:24 PM: Been through a similar ordeal as a young man. Only later did I learn that this experience was part of the journey that made me what I am. I wouldn't have the life I have today if I had not been forced to make a clear and conscious choice of whether I wanted to live or whether I wanted to die.

I chose life; and that set me on the path to raking every action and going to whatever lengths required to have a rich and full life. The day will come when you no longer regret your past or wish to shut the door upon it - it will become part of you, part of what you will learn to love, and part of what makes you a good and loveable man.

BTW: You totally ROCK the sly look! Have FUN with it! Flaunt your manly self!

I'm Filipino and bald and I totally enjoy it and have gotten many compliments from it. Looks like it suits you too.

Stay strong bro!

I'm a newbie here as well who has also had problems with depression - although mine wasn't related with hair-loss - and I too went sly really early in life. I feel like we have a lot in common.

This actually increased my self confidence - the courage to be different which it was then,
