Weirdly enough I’m kinda the opposite: I don’t like getting my hair cut (especially when it was shorter and closer to my scalp) and don’t like going to the barber’s/salon and talking to people so partly because of that I just started growing it out so I wouldn’t have to get it cut as much

I'm avoidant of people too, being autistic and I get social anxiety.

Bad early transition experience

spoilerI had a very bad experience early transition getting my blood taken where the nurse suspected me being trans or fuck knows what went through her head, but began trying to look around my head at different angles to see if she could work out what I was or something or if she could get that gotcha, it was very unnerving so the thought of sitting in a similar position to have my hair cut to get that kind of experience again put me off a lot..

I taught myself how to cut my own hair and my wife helps out now too so not all bad but that was the main motivator
