I know I vent on here a LOT but it helps me out cause I can just be honest
I got my hair cut into a pixie cut over the summer. I had really long hair before and I've got compliments on my hair all my life. My mom was always emphasizing that long hair is beautiful and feminine... I always wanted short hair but just wasn't brave enough. Then over the summer it was like, "screw this", and I cut off all my hair.
Since then, EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION. I mean, seriously, GOOD GOD. Even my therapist is attributing the haircut to my bipolar disorder! She keeps saying things like "and you cut off your long beautiful hair..." or "is that what you were thinking when you cut your hair off?" I've wanted short hair for years! And I think I look good in it. It just gets really annoying when I can't go through a day without someone sighing and saying "well, at least it'll grow back." Even my boyfriend doesn't like it. It's starting to get to me. I felt so brave and hot and free and unstoppable when I cut it, and now I just feel awkward and weird and like I'm completely un-sexy. I hate that I can let all these little comments get to me like this...I guess it doesn't help with the self-image that I've also gained two inches on my waist yuck. But I really like my pixie cut, and I don't want to grow it out just to make people in my life think I'm pretty again... I did it to feel stronger, and now I'm letting people get to me and I'm feeling the opposite.
And I did NOT cut it because of the bipolar. Just saying. And I'm just venting...thanks for reading if you got all the way down to here
