Started balding in 2005; finally said enough is enough today
« on: May 07, 2012, 10:58:29 AM »
I took a deep breath, told myself everything would be OK, and then just did it. Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. One of my friends thinks I look "badass". Still haven't gone out yet; preparing myself for looks and comments (potentially negative).

I think the thing that pushed me over the edge was seeing the top of my head from a bird's-eye view over a security camera feed where I work. Even looking badly bald would have to look better than that, I thought!

Perfectly natural to be apprehensive about others' reactions. I personally think it really suits you. Go out there and make the world get used to your new look (and outlook).

Yes, there is a certain degree of 'badassness' inherent with shaving one's head. I was told nearly the exact same thing by a friend soon after I first shaved.
Welcome to the sly club. Enjoy it!

You should be preparing yourself for the potentially positive comments. Great sly look.

Wait for positivity to kick in because with a bald head comes a bold attitude.

Nothing to fear!  Your head looks excellent.  And the beard looks nice.

have fun when you go out.  Put a smile on your face.  (I know why you are staring at me ... you wish that you had the .... to shave your head too!). 

Looks good doesn't it.  You've earned the bald head!  Show it off.

Welcome aboard. Looks great. Don't worry about others as long as you are happy they'll all come around.
Now get out of the house and show it off.
