I've changed. I'm much cooler since shaving off all my bad hair.
Hey there, first let me say I've been looking around and the forum looks great, really supportive to guys concerned with the issue of losing their hair.
Ok, here's my [short] story...
I like things which are cool... of course we all do, but I think 'coolness' is on my mind moreso than others. Growing up I've hung around people who to me were cool, listened to music I thought was cool, I've tried to act cool, look cool... you get the idea!
I can relate to this, SO MUCH!
I have a very laid back attitude, and don't take anything seriously... however, that's been because I was confident in my beliefs, and my 'attitude' or style. Part of that package is obviously the way I look... but since losing a lot of my hair I worry that when I shave, that 'attitude' won't be there.
It's hard to describe, but the way I am, the cheeky smiles and sarcastic nature... it feels like that will have to change. Why? I'm not the biggest guy, but I look ok, without hair though I'll look thin and odd in the clothes I currently wear. That makes me think I'll need to change how I dress, but what about the way I speak?
I'm 23 but act younger, I can't imagine fooling around without hair. I feel like I will need to harden up... grow up. People I see with bald heads either seem like a typical hard working guy, a tough guy, or... sad. I fear I'll fall into the latter category because I'm not at all 'hard'.
What I guess I'm asking is... did anyone change when they decided to go sly? I really feel like getting rid of my receeding hair will also get rid of some other part in me. Like I said it's hard to describe, hope someone understands.
