Does your beard grow quick though? But yeah, how much a full, thick beard changes your appearance is often underestimated.

1. Finding out nobody cared that much about my beard missing, except some close friends/partner but they also know me

It’s mostly about my family, especially my mom. She’s a different kind of judgmental sometimes. And she’s the last person I want to get a sniff about me changing in any way.

Honestly shaving makes a huuge difference.

I know… I’m happy it’s long pants season again so I can shave my legs and it hits completely different.

I might shave my face, too, but only when I don’t have to meet with my family for a few weeks so I can grow some of my beard back. After New Year is probably gonna be good time since it’s probably scarf season anyway.

It should be, but isn’t exactly for my family. They’re already completely losing their shit when I tap a toe outside my usual ‘I wear black until there’s something darker’-presentation.

Shaving. Now, that also does have something to do with low self-esteem and being scared about how I’d look without beard since I am bearded for half my life and didn’t shave my face smooth since I was 16, but I’d like to try but then everybody and their mom would ask why and I don’t want to answer (I’m a bad liar and don’t feel comfortable lying, too).

Edit: I appreciate y’all wanting to help, but please stop. I didn’t ask for advice, I’ll probably eventually figure something out and I kinda feel pressured and pushed, it’s really not great. Sharing your own experiences is fine, but more is really not needed (especially if you’re suggesting coming up with excuses)

What a coincidence. I saw Serious Sam on sale earlier today.

I personally like emblems, icons and heraldry on flags. Without them, flags are often enough just bars of colors.

I know about the alternatives. That wasn’t the question though.

Why can’t you just bring the reasons you think are important?

Vice versa for me tho

Care to elaborate? Like, why, maybe provide some resources, etc.

The difference is the number of athletes caught doping recently.

Look at the username. Downvote, report for spam, move on

With your sister? No kinkshaming, but that’s something different

Trans scientists inventing a gender that can has so little mass it can escape a black hole.

Could get on board with the latter.

Memes can be bad, agitating, stirring up shit, just like all other media.

Is it at least painful enough so one could imagine getting no hair tattooed instead?
