I had ‘a little’ thinning back in 2013, and immediately went fully bald shaving my head 3x a week since then. Our appearances and acceptance of it depends on your ability to come to terms, identify and personify with the truth of the matter and your decisions.

I had thinning. I said fuck it and told myself how I would identify, instead of letting my genetics get the better part of me. I was in my early 20s. I’ve been bald since and when people know you as bald, they don’t judge you like people who knew you with hair.

Go all in, make it who you are, stop caring about hair, and people, and their opinions (if they matter), will follow. (That being said, don’t be bald with a stache, unless you’re ready for that kind of judgement. In my field it’s pretty common, and so are the ‘pedo stache’ jokes. You just have to ignore them. For clarity, I’m bald with a mustache.)
