Im not so sure youre ready for us (bald) yet. If u want shorter hair, ask away.

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.

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 ?

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.

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?

You, sir, have hit the nail directly on the head. Well done!

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.

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.
