(obviously this only applies if shaving actually aligns with your gender presentation goals etc etc, this is a self-image thing not a callout for people who don’t want to or can’t)

    Just remember that you’re your own biggest critic! You notice a lot about yourself that most people won’t - they’re busy going about their lives.

    If you live with a dog you won’t notice them age because the amount of change per day is so small. If your friend visits every couple of months, you’ll hear “my goodness look how big you’ve gotten!”

    You have been present for all your changes so they’re harder to notice. I have to remind my SO of this regularly. 💜

    A little bit of stubble in an area is harder to notice than you might think. My SO freaks if she forgets to shave her legs and meanwhile I’m just excited to rub them… 🤤🤣

    Even if she forgets her face, I can’t tell unless I touch and she’s convinced she looks like porcupine lady. 🦔
