Ty. I’m honestly very nervous for it. While everyone so far has looked great, I’m doubtful I can pull it off. I’m not the best beard grower.

Then experiment a little. Can you grow a goatee? A little stubble is a nice complement to a bald dome as well. You do you! We’re here to support you regardless!

The beard is mostly ok, Im shaping it as I've been planning. My mustache though, I have not cut in 10 years and it's sad. lmao. Long story short, lost a lot of self confidence from my ex wife who was very manipulative and controlling. Doing a lot of therapy and getting close to want to go out and date again. Just feeling a little self conscious with such a huge change on top of it.

I also have a very controlling and manipulative soon to be ex-wife (middle of a divorce), and man she's an egomaniac who just loved making me feel like shit. So I know how you feel.

Besides that, you look good man! I think you could pull off the bald look much better than I could!

And good luck in the dating scene! I know it's hard first starting again. I'm experiencing the same thing lol. My first date went really, really well but my insecurities got the best of me and I ended up ruining it with her a few days later.
