How to remove self-consciousness that affects my confidence?

[mchpddl1]

I recorded a video of myself playing, noticing my hairline is very high up showing little hair above the forehead, and i become a bit self-conscious now each time i play a shot. Without serious medication, can anyone introduce some method to remove self-consiousness on our own look such as hair, psychologcailly?

Your not the only snooker player in the world with a receeding hairline. Almost every professional that appears on TV is either completely bald on top or have receeding hairlines. They don't care and they are the ones on TV. It's a natural thing for most males as they age. It will happen To us all at one point. look at Judd trump very receeded and thinning at the crown and only what 25 y/o? grow it out abit more to a hairstyle that you like that will cover it up more. Or if it's not that bad, just buzz it off maybe a 1 or a 2. But seriously, not to dishearten you, unless you have money for a hair transplant, it's better to accept it. It's harder said than done but that's life. It's only hair it could be much worse. You are still able to play a sport that you love and that's the main thing. There are people in worse situations that are unfortunate to be able to even hold a cue. Have a "don't give a f*** attitude " and I'm sure life will be easier for you. Out of curiosity how old are you?

Honestly I play in a billiards team ,we have six players and if you lined them up it would look like a row of cue balls, the snooker team doesn't fair much better , I'm sure I only get a game to get the hair to head ratio up a bit lol. Nobody is bothered Mch, it's the snooker or billiards that get talked about, we are all forty and older and its part of life, it's never even mentioned as its nothing to do with why we are there or why we are friends.

Jim Rohn, Denis Waitley, John Maxwell, Tyler Durden, David Deangelo, Tai Lopez, Elliott Hulse will all shape and change your life in meaningful ways brother. Look them up and learn. Hair means something to you because you identify your personality with your looks. It doesn't have to be that way. You are not shy, you became shy. A human is a nearly empty canvas that learns through environment, peer group, parent, mass media, etc. You learned to be shy, and can unlearn it.

Just look at my profile icon. I don't give a flying fart.

I just want to say it takes balls to even post something like this. I think it shows a lot about your character and I think that it is cool that you did. I have a lot of friends that are not even 30 and they either have lost all of their hair or have a receding hair line and decided to just go with the flow and buzz it off. I would just work on your confidence levels and be more confidant in everything you do. I used to be a very shy guy but now I can talk to any random person on the street and start a conversation. Its all about perspective my friend. You just have to put things into a perspective that gives you the power and not giving up your power. Confidence is everything my friend.

Cheers man. I assume you're on the same page about self-dev and learning.

Very much so. The human body is capable of amazing things we are just beginning to understand. Feel free to PM me or email me if you want to talk more about it. Tylerkinnison@ymail.com. I always enjoy a good intelligent conversation

Well, yes screw them, but there is nothing wrong with opinions. Lets just say, it's a challenge knowing when to accept and learn vs ignore. At least for me it is, but perhaps I haven't reached the other side yet - where anyone's opinion doesn't matter at all. I'm not talking about the hair loss though. I can't do shyt about male pattern baldness, so if someone has an opinion about it, I just laugh it off.
