So basically I am wondering if I should finally cut my hair. As a male, having long hair will always get you dirty looks, but I feel I am really just letting these get to me. I have had my long hair all through this year of college, and it made it a somewhat miserable experience. With me, my hair is just flatout untamable. It's frizzy, it's poofy, it just looks downright ridiculous most of the time. I have just gotten so tired of having to wear beanies and hats to cover up my insecurities with my hair. This hair has totally KILLED my confidence around the ladies. It has also started making me feel really uncomfortable around elderly folk and conservative looking people. Not because I have anything against conservative people, because I don't, but I just feel like they might see me as some worthless disrespectful hippie, which I am not! I feel a need to constantly be proving myself to help destroy this stereotype which is probably never placed on me to begin with. This hair has just been a bad experience! Not to mention walking down the street with the wind blowing the direction you are walking, all that hair of mine blowing into my face, probably looking like a crazy person, trying to fiddle with it and get it out of my eyes... It's just not fun. I keep telling myself, just CUT YOUR HAIR ALREADY, but it's just hard for me, because I have had long hair my whole life and it just feels like it's part of my identity. It's not even at the length I would like it to be at yet, with hopes of it maybe straightening itself out as it gets longer. I don't know if I can take any more of this though. I've basically told myself I'd give it the summer. If by the time the semester starts it still looks goofy, I'm getting a nice haircut!
Thanks for this!
