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!

Sorry to hear about your ordeal, but it sounds like you're in a better place now. And, hey, you look great bald. Can't relate to being bald and Asian, but I am bald in Asia, hehe. And we've got all sorts of people from all over the place on here.

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!

Based on your avatar the look suits you more than fine mate. 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.

When I was a senior in hugh school many mamy years ago sat near in one class a Chinese/American who had a a very close nearly shaved haircut, I came to admire that - he was also a popular guy, This led me to keep a short buzz when i went to college and kept short since, as short as a barber would cut it, Finally in 1980 I shaved my head and kept it that way for several years. This actually increased my self confidence - the courage to be different which it was then,
