@dontstopmenow opens up to the Steem Community
In this video I want to show myself as I really am, with no Cap hiding my baldness.
Losing your hair in your early 20s can be tough, specially in an environment that criticizes the different ones and using hurting words is not uncommon.
Please watch the video if you want to know how I feel about all this.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Bruno, the fact that you can open up about your flaws already means you're awesome.
I'm around 1.56 m and I'm the shortest in almost every social circle. I've felt so much condescendence towards me throughout my life from school up until now at work, even though it's now rather due to my young age.
However, my height was the only thing of all my deemed 'flaws' (oh, a lot of those silly things I hope are starting to fade) that I never let get to me. I focused on studies and self-growth and I started to look into people more and search the beauty within them.
Well of course nobody now picks on me about my height, but I understand how men might feel, because my brother was the shortest in class, too.
But nevermind anyone who tells you something about you, because they know nothing!
Only those who are worth your time will see the good in you!
Hey Kate!. Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate the kind words and also also seeing you opening up and telling me personal things. Seems like we have gone through similar stuff while growing up.
I know that those picking on peoples flaws/insecurities deserve no attention at all, but sometimes it´s not that easy to ignore them.
Again, thanks for your insightful comment.
Have a great day!
Embrace it buddy :)
You have a quality mug bruh and at least you can fit a wig well at the Christmas party :)
I bet you could grow a cracker of a beard too!!
Very lucky there I must say :)
For me having ginger hair in my school days was horrid, and I continued to hate it right through my twenties.
I wore a cap at every opportunity and took for granted the orange glowing barnet.
I am 38 this year and have never felt so ginger in my life, and I bladdy love it.

Like @captainbob says, you are a splendid chap bro and beauty comes from the inside as well as out.!
Keep inspiring me Bru and lets catch up soon.
Cheers.
Hey there short guy with no hair. From another guy with not a lot of hair, respect bro. You look great. Go with whatever makes you comfortable, but short, tall, bald, hair down to your ass, black, white, or whatever....I like to look at the person on the inside ;)
I appreciate the support @captainbob, I really do.
And yeah I also like to look at the inside but sadly the world we live in is ruled by so much BS that well... the whole thing is designed so that we all are not comfortable with how we look. Why? I think it is because people with low self esteem is easier to control and manipulate. TV and magazines and media in general will always show and impose the beauty standards and the truth is that the vast majority of the humans do not fit in those standards.
But oh well... I feel good to finally have gathered the courage to show this community how I really look, feels like I got rid of a nasty weight I was carrying.
Thanks again for your support man!
Congrats Bruno on revealing this publicly! I know it must have been a big thing for you to do. Think of how good you feel now being vulnerable like that! The best kind of people are those who accept you for who you are. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate you and treats you badly is irrelevant in your life and you can just ignore them, because there are many, many people who like you just as you are.
you are special my friend
😊😊😊😊😊
Everyone has something they don't like about themselves. Good for you for doing this. You are glad you did it, I know. Hopefully, it will inspire others quit hiding behind a mask and be honest with themselves, as you have done. Bravo Bruno!
Thanks a lot @celsius100! I really, really appreciate this uplifting words, it means a lot to me.
I am glad I did it, absolutely 😊😊
See you at the @spl Poker Tables mate!
Great video, much respect for your strength man!
Thanks a lot @reseller! All the kind words really cheer me up, MUCH appreciated 😊
Dude, I feel you. I actually have a problem playing with my hair like a lot. I'm scared of losing mine. I'm 157 cm! so yer good :D You got balls making this vids to share with the steem world!
Thanks lovely! I really appreciate everyones support a lot.
One good thing about being short: I can crash in pretty much any couch/sofa 😂😂😂

thanks for doing this video @dontstopmenow . It's a really tough subject for so many people. And first let me say that you look great Bruno.
I have long suffered with an obsession over my hairloss. It started when I was 21 and back in my time nobody has a shaved head and the only famous person that was bald was Kojak.
It wasn't until Patrick Steward of Star Trek the Next Generation was on tv that a bald guy was cool. Then once Michael Jordan shaved his balding head did it finally become acceptable.
I've been hanging on to my hair for dear life and I think about it constantly. I still have hair but it is very thin in the front and a bald spot in the back. To make it worse my hair is dark and won't seem to turn gray.
I actually went to my barber and asked if we could die it gray and he said no because I would have black roots. Gray hair looks fuller than dark brown and since I'm 50 people think I color my hair.
Anyway you are not alone. i'm a man who is way way way too concerned over losing my hair and I'm also very short. You are way ahead of me in the fact that you shaved your head. I think i'm not too far away from the day that I too will do that. But, since you look so good, I think there may be some hope for me too.
Openly facing our insecurities and being vulnerable is a true testament of a man’s character. I think you pass. :)
