Should I become bald? - page 1 -

• Should I become bald? by Patrick on 22 Mar, 2011 11:05
• Hello!
  
  My name is Patrick,and I'm from Melbourne, Australia.
  I found this forum and thought that I could find some people who will have the same preferences as me.
  
  I love Tokio Hotel, Twilight and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  If you love them too, please PM me.
  
  So the question is: should I cut my hair down?
  It's important for me, so please do not flame on me. Please.
  
  Cheers,
             yours Patrick <3

• Im not so sure youre ready for us (bald) yet. If u want shorter hair, ask away.
• #2 by Patrick on 22 Mar, 2011 11:16
• No.
  
  You got it wrong (sorry).
  
  I want to become 100% bald.
  To change myself, my style, everything.
  
  And I want to know how it is: To Be Bald.
  Please tell me how it is and if you think that is better long-haired then bald.
  
  Sorry if I sound strange,
  
  Cheers,
  Patrick

• Why do you want to go bald ? You seem to have a full head of hair, just curious . For my self I don't have a problem with being bald , but at your age I would.

• I don't have problems with the hair's growth.
  
  The idea is that I want to become bald just because I started to lose myself in my mind.
  I think that the length of hair directly changes me, so I want to see how it's like being bald.
  It's ideal? It's cool? It's better than with long hair?
  
  Thanks for answer.
  
  Cheers

• Your answer sound to me that you are not contented in the way you are . Changing your looks I guess can be a first step . But why the change ?
• #6 by Patrick on 22 Mar, 2011 12:44
• Like I said, I started to lose myself. I don't know how is to be myself, don't have any preferences of mine, I am being ignored a little by people that are around me.
  They think I am a little strange.
  
  But I don't want to change because of them. I want a change to start my life from a new page.
  And like you said, changing your look is the first step.
  
  I think that being bald will make me more confident and will help me evolving from this state of being.
  So how's to be bald?
  
  Thanks.
  
  Cheers,
        Patrick

• Being bald is good some will say great . It is also being set free , free of the constraints of how my hair looks . It tells the world this is me take me as I am if they don't like it ,  to bad that's their problem.

• Wow.
  
  I think I should go bald. This will change my lifestyle and my vision, in a better way.
  Glad to know that being bald has it's merits.
  
  Thanks for the advice.
  I am very happy to find a way to resolve my problems.
  
  Cheers,
        Patrick.
  
  P.S:
  How should I get bald?
  It might be so that it will grow back, and I don't want this.
  Please help.
  
  Thanks.

• Hi Patrick,
  
  reading your post, I am under the impression that there are some problems underneath, that a change of your appearance won't change.
  
  If you want to cut your hair as a choice of stile that is okay.
  But if you want to cut or shave it to change your life, I am skeptical about that.
  
  What do you mean by loosing yourself?
  
  You said, that people ignore you:
  - shaving your head will probably change that
  
  You said, taht people think that you are a little strange:
  - they will probably think, that you are even stranger if you shave your head now
  
  When I first shaved my head, I felt liberated and sort of naked at the same time.
  So that was positiv and negative at the same time and i let my hair grow again at first.
  Eventually the positiv won, and I and my surroundings had the chance to get used to it.
  
  If you want to change your stile, you might want to start by cutting your hair shorter and different, and find out how you like it. And from there you can go shorter and shorter if you like.
  
  But in general I think you should find out what it is that makes you feel that you loose yourself.
  
  I think a change should start from the inside out, and not from the outside in.
  You know what I mean?

  I second that, you have to feel it from within. Work on that first.

  You got it wrong.
  
  The problem is that I know that I can change myself by changing my look because I did this once.
  At 15 years.
  When I made the terrible mistake to grow my hair.
  That changed me. A lot.
  
  So I know that it will work. The problem is that I don't know how to change my look.
  
  Baldaholic:
  Not loosing, but lose.
  I stopped to love my friends, family, having my dreams and ideas.
  Like degeneration.
  
  Cheers,

  Listen, I understand that change is tough, believe me I know. I've done it often enough myself, but that's the beauty of it; we're constantly changing and evolving. You have to be open to it.
  
  It's funny that you mention you made a mistake in growing your hair, I wouldn't call it that. It's something that you wanted to do, so now you may be thinking of cutting it down. No big deal, it's time for you to try something new. It's just a choice you're making, don't let it define you.

• Thanks.
  
  I'm just in such a mood that I cannot live any more.
  
  Shaving my hair should be the first step to a series of changes that will happen.
  
  It's symbolic.
  
  Thanks again for cheering me up.
  
  Cheers,
