Until yesterday I used to have long hair. Due to unusually high tempetures I started having problems with the skin on my head. So, to avoid problems. I shaved it clean and it will remain that way until the skin in treated.
Now that I’m bald, I now know what’s it’s like. It sucks. My old hair suited me perfectly. It was messy just the right amount, perfect length, made me look different than the rest and handsome as hell. Every girl would look at me where ever I went to. Compliments floating over the air, jealous looks from other men etc. etc. It made me feel powerful.
But most importantly, it suited my personality and clothing. It was perfect! But now it’s gone. I hate bald me. I will never look back at this bald version of myself.
It feels weird. I don’t feel that bad but still it’s disheartening.
It’s the same thing as with a hat: if you’re uncomfortable it’ll show. Comfort is the only difference between “hat people” and everyone else.
Long hair, short hair, no hair; if you feel good people can tell, and you’ll ascribe those feelings to how you look.
I’m the opposite, the longer my hair gets the dirtier I feel, until I finally crop it short, or if I’m really wanting that “clean fresh start” feeling, shave it off entirely.
Anyway, lucky for you, you don’t have to get used to it! Just wait it out and you’ll be back to your old self before you know it.
Good post!
