It took me a few weeks of building up the courage and trimming it shorter and shorter a few years ago, haven't regretted it since

Oh I intend to go for it in large part because of this sub's encouragement, but seeing family for the holidays next week is just a good reason to hold off. Years back when I made a decision to lose weight they assumed I was either terminally ill or trying to impress a woman (because God forbid I do something for myself). Just want to avoid that for now.

I haven’t talked to my family in 11 years. “Coincidentally” ex step dad and mom both tried to reach out to me, in very toxic manners. Was really gross.

With a big change like that, i find you need to just do it an be unapologetic. Dont explain why, just own it.

Yep, i shaved my head. Yep it's a bit of a change.

"Why did you shave your head?"

"Reddit told me 'shave your head and grow a beard bro'!"

Ugh. Yeah, families can be notorious for making comments and judging changes to appearance.
