me too brother, ive just accepted at this point that I look like a fascist. ive heard it can be mitigated if you do some little accessorizing like black nail polish or piercings, but I'm not sure those are styles I'm ready to embrace yet (I am extremely self conscious)

I hear you on the self-consciousness bit, it's why I started wearing the buzz cut... Used to have a glorious ginger/auburn mane, then my 30s started moving everything downstairs. Can only take solace in that I have a Picard head, so I wear it proudly.

As far as accessorising, already have three loops in my left ear and do occasionally paint my left hand's fingertips black for the hell of it. Unfortunately, my face looks like it could plow through concrete for a living, so... yeah...
