I wish I could just do it

So I've been bald for 5 yrs now and I went from wearing baseball caps to turbans to now a wig and something I struggle with every summer is I just wanna go swimming with nothing on my head I wanna be able to take my son's to a pool with nothing on my head, so all I wanna know is how does one get enough nerve to do it. I feel naked when I have nothing on my head, and I only do it around people Im comfortable around, and I wanna to be able to do it in public, and Im scared to, idk why. When I wear my hats people stare so what's the difference, right? Geez this sucks .

How do I get over this hump, Im stuck, any ideas?

Hi Debbie,

I am a 20 year old girl and am going through the same thing! In a couple of weeks I am going on vacation and have decided I am going to finally go "commando." I am nervous, as I'm sure you are. I think it is going to be better to just go all for it. I figure, even if I wasn't bald, people would still find something about me to stare at. I don't have a whole lot of advice but I wanted to let you know there are others going through this also! Just remember that you have people who love you for who you are so it doesn't matter what others think! Hopefully we can both finally go for it!
