new thread
Hi everyone,
Over the last few days I have learned a lot and become a lot more at peace with myself, and gained a lot more confidence in who I am.
I know I have commented before about my co-worker who made disparaging remarks about my hair. Today I thought I would share a couple of positive things that happened to me at work today, these were not expected in the least!
This afternoon, a guy came in to work on one of the instruments in my lab. He was seriously envious of my hair and commented that he would love to be able to grow it long but his job would not let him, we then got into a discussion about the fact that many men who would love to grow their hair long are limited by the restraints of society, and by customs that really need to be reformed, e.g. professionals not being able to have long hair when many of them secretly wish they could have long hair.
Another positive remark, came as a story, ironically from the same co-worker who made the disparaging remarks about my hair before. She was commenting on her boyfriend always going on about his hair, she said to him, "You're just like Dave", to which he replied, I think Dave has GREAT hair--her boyfriend is actually jealous of my hair lol!
And the beard is coming along great, I've had lots of positive vibes about that as well. I'll probably post pictures in a week or two.
Just thought I would share, maybe my new self confidence is helping these things happen.

Well it's good to have positive vibes and also feel good about yourself and at the end of the day your doing it for yourself and not one else. Take positive comments for sure and ignore the people that are jealous with their short hair.

It's great to hear that you've been getting better reception at work! When you stick to your guns, you can overcome the obsticles! Good on ya!
Hi David,
That's COOL to hear! If you feel good about yourself, everything else will fall into place. Sounds like it's starting for you! YEAH!

hey man,glad to hear everything's falling into place.it's funny because when we're confident about ourselves,compliments come our way when we least expect it!!great...and in no time I beleive your co-worker herself will be jealous of your hair (if she isn't already!).I noticed she had short hair in one of the pics that you posted below...is yours longer than hers now,or did she grow it out too?
Hi Jacob,
Strange you say that about my co-worker, maybe she is jealous of my hair but won't admit it directly! She did grow her hair out about to about my current length at one point a year or so back, cut a lot off, and is now growing hers out again, still shorter than mine. Her boyfriend has lost a lot of hair, he's 10 years younger than myself, and is jealous that I still have so much of mine.
David
Terrific. More than makes up for the few negative comments, doesn't it!
Great news David, and you sound as if you are really proud to be a longhair now - and you should be. And I bet it was jealousy that made her say those things, growing hair out takes patience and a strong will, and you did it. If she didn't care for your look, she wouldn't even give it a thought, but the fact she is actually spending time thinking about YOUR hair should be taken as flattery.
