Sometimes I feel uncomfortable talking to strangers, and will put off scheduling appointments. Today, after a few days of trying to beat myself into getting a haircut at a barber’s shop or salon, I decided to cut my own hair instead. I’m very pleased with the results, and I will probably make a habit of cutting my own hair from now on. I know this solution doesn’t generalize to other appointments, such as medical examinations, but I’m very glad to have put that one source of distress to rest.
Yeah, and if you have hair clippers, they’re pretty foolproof—except for trimming around ears, smoothing transitions between different lengths, and dealing with the back of the neck. Which all just seem like garden-variety acquirable skills. It’s plausible that I should already own hair clippers and be using them on myself, and that I’m only not doing this because of trivial inconveniences. Hm.
