A blind man does not leave his home without his seeing-eye dog in order to prove to him self or to others that he has accepted his condition and that he is self-confident. An “above the knee” amputee does not leave his home without his leg prosthesis (false leg) in order to prove to him self or to others that he is not a fake. Alopecia is an autoimmune disorder just like any other health related condition. Wearing a wig versus not wearing a wig or a head cover is not an indication of ones: self-confident, self-esteem self-acceptance or being real or fake. It is simply a personal choice. Remove the guilt and the “worlds definition” from the equation and decide what you like best. If you like to go between each of the above, go for it! When you find your own style/swagger this will help you along the way.
You are all so beautiful, I have seen so for myself.
