Taking a Beard Break: Why I'm Shaving My Beards Off

Long before I got home, I have been having thoughts of how I would look without my beards, and I don't know if I would still be good-looking or not. I have gotten so used to the beards as it is one of the things that gives me morale as a man.

It adds to my confidence boost, and I really don't know how I would feel after going to barb it.

Most of the guys I know are always trying to grow a beard for this reason. To earn respect among others in the society as generally, people tends to respect a man with beards as compared a man without. I don't know but that is what I feel.

Now that I have beards, it has really contributed to my confidence boost. I always use it to make jest of my beardless friends even some of them that are older than I am. I always say I senior them because I have beards than they do.

With how important my beards are to me, I know the question now is: Why do I now want to cut my beards? The truth is, I don't have any genuine reason to; deep inside, I don't want to. Instead, I want to have fuller-grown beards.

The reason why I would do it is to just have fun and because I know that after taking a shave, my beards will grow back. I want to joke around, laugh at myself and with my friends while they make jest of me.

After making the cut, I would take some pictures and share them on the chain. I am sure some of you (including me) would be wondering how I would look without my beards. I am a little nervous about this 🥺. Wish me luck!

Well, you'll look good even without beards, trust me.
Besides, it will grow even more next time. So there's nothing to be afraid of; it's just a matter of time before it all grows back.

Hey @starstrings01. I'm not sure if you're the right person to contact, but since you're a Mod in this community, I'm contacting you.

I've just noticed I'm a verified member of the Hive Learners community. I've never verified myself nor posted in this community as far as I know, nor have joined the community. I don't know why I appear as verified.

I'm requesting my removal from the verified list. If you don't have that power, please contact whoever is in charge and forward my request please. I'm expecting a reply. Thank you!

Hi erikah!

About the verified tag you have, I guess this is because you have a reputation on Hive. It is normal to see others with the verified member tag because of their reputation but if you insist that you want to be removed from the verified list, I would help you with that.

Beard or no beards a man would always reflect maturity through his actions and words. Society just have a way of justifying guys with beards, mine is getting better😂😂😂.

You look good after the beard shave bro.

hmm true words... maturity is reflected through one's actions and not by physical appearance. Thanks for this comment brotherly.
