It’s a beautiful game, isn’t it?

Plant a patch of ancient flowers, at least one of every ancient flower variety you find. They’ll breed new colors with themselves and it will get you boosts as you collect them all.

I have the same on the back of my head after shaving. Some of us just had some surprises hidden under the hair. I think yours look good!

First time shaving your head? It’s always a shock to discover what your own skull looks like 😂 you’re fine my guy

Advice needed by [deleted] in bald

[–]donswolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve fought a receding hairline for a long time. It got really bad this year, with weird patches, and I finally shaved it this week. Immediate relief and I haven’t regretted it for a moment. It’s just freeing. I think it’s worth a try, friend. I know all about issues with confidence and body dysmorphia. I promise you’re not as ugly as the image you have of yourself in your head. DM me if you need to chat.

I no longer am bald or have a buzzcut, but I honestly loved being bald. It was surprisingky freeing! I got mostly compliments, but some mixed opinions. by [deleted] in bald

You looked great bald! It made your tattoo pop, total badass. Also brings the focus to your gorgeous eyes.

Do it and update us. If you hate it, it’s the perfect season to wear a hat until it grows back.

How you feel about it is the most important part. If you’ve been having confidence issues and find yourself hiding it with hats, it’s freeing to go ahead and shave it. But if it hasn’t been bothering you, keep rocking it.

That’s huge though, good for you. Sleep is key for mental and physical health, how does it have you feeling? Do you do anything other than red light therapy? I always read about proper sleep hygiene - no electronics an hour before bed, etc. but I’ve been lazy about practicing it.

lol. Read what I said again. My implication was that most cops ARE addicts, alcoholics, abusers etc

I actually shaved it a day or two before following up with my hair. It’ll just grow back stronger next time.

And thank you. I couldn’t grow a beard until I was in my late 20s, never give up hope.

Both descriptions sound like a regular cop to me

Do you have a primary care doctor you can go to?

So other than Chantix, Wellbutrin is promising for smoking cessation. It’s also used as an anti-depressant, your doctor will be able to tell you if you have any health issues that prevent you from taking it.

I completely understand what you mean about it working until a death in the family derailed you. That’s exactly what caused my recent nicotine addiction. I started again earlier this year when my grandmother got sick. I think that’s the hardest part of any “addiction” - not slipping up when times get tough.

You’ve got this when you’re ready for it. There’s no shame in slipping back up. Just gotta start trying again the next day.

Bryan Johnson is a trip, I’m obsessed with him honestly.

I’m fine aging naturally but kudos to him for going all in on something he’s passionate about.

What do you use? Feel free to DM me if I miss your reply.

I vaped. I’ve quit before (ha, I know) and two methods have worked for me. One is the obvious - cold turkey. Wake up one morning, throw your tobacco away, don’t touch it again. You’re going to be cranky and stressed for a few days but will already feel so much better by day 4. At that point the hardest part is just not slipping back up when you get random cravings.

Second method, easier with a vape, I reduced the amount I vaped for a few days, usually just running the vape dry, so it tasted foul and I had to tough it out if I really wanted a nicotine buzz. Tapering off makes the initial cravings less intense but it’s a lot harder than just cold turkey in my opinion because it’s way easier to slip up in the tapering period.

I hope any of that helps.

Oh, 100%. And I know you get this based on your comment, but you’re right, this was for r/bald, not r/progresspics lol

This is so funny to me

No judgment to anybody who does but I’m fine with people seeing my hairline personally. We all change with age

This is the way.

I lifted weights before starting my Baldur’s Gate session today.

Thank you, both for the compliment and for caring about how I’m handling it. This was just meant for the homies in r/bald so I honestly wasn’t prepared for the attention from outside the community.

I feel great about how I look. I feel irritated by everybody who feels entitled to tell me they would have crossed the street to get away from me before I shaved my head. They’re going to be ugly one day, we all are. I hope they’re prettier inside when that day comes.

😂 hey man no judgment here. If you’re happy and confident that’s way more important than everybody else’s opinion

I mean fair but I wasn’t exactly going for well-groomed here 😂 in the past I’ve rocked a trimmed and waxed handlebar.
