Can't leave house without Hat

I've always worn a baseball cap, even before I started losing my hair. It has the dual purpose of shielding my eyes when i'm feeling particularly sensitive, and mopping up sweat when I get nervous. The hat is like a mask.
The problem is, I need to look for a job soon. Like, right now as a matter of fact. And I want a decent job. Wearing a hat looks so unprofessional. How do you break your hat dependency?

Yeah. I am the same way about sunglasses, and having to wear a jacket all the time, even when it is like 100 degrees outside. It's just a comfort zone. Yours actually makes more sense though, but I guess a lot of people lose their hair. That really sucks though. The only way I knowto really change to hat thing, is to like go without it. For while it's gonna feel really weird, and like something is missing, it's also going to feel really uncomfortable because it isn't shielding you anymore. It takes a bit of time to get used to it. You could also buy different hats I guess? That look more professional, if you feel like you need it sometimes. It might just be that one thing though, like your favorite. I'm not sure of any other way to stop doing it, other then to just stop doing it. I know it's not easy though.

I would even try just not wearing it for a short period of time. Just don't wear it for like 1 day next week. Then, increase that number to 2 days the week after, and so on. Eventually, you will get used to not having it on at all, but that is not really the goal.

Having a hat on is fine, all you need to do is to get yourself comfortable not wearing a hat for a short period of time, but possibly also for a longer period if you have a job that will not let you wear a hat.

Gradual steps, rather than quitting cold turkey, are usually much easier, so I would recommend that way.

lol guess Iam more ****ed up than all of you. Trying to hide myself freaks me out. Wearing sunglasses,a hat or whatever to hide myself makes me get so unreal... like everyone who sees me can notice/thinks Iam hiding, my anxiety gets super strong then, I feel like Iam being judged by everyone that Iam a complete low **** up, a weak p***y

Let me run with you tonight
Ill take you on a moonlight ride
Theres someone I used to see
But she dont give a damn for me

But let me get to the point, lets roll another joint
And tu rn the radio loud, Im too alone to be proud
You dont know how it feels
You dont know how it feels to be me

People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So lets get to the point, lets roll another joint
Lets head on down the road
Theres somewhere I gotta go
And you dont know how it feels
You dont know how it feels to be me

My old man was born to rock
Hes still tryin to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I got a little space to fill

So lets get to the point, lets roll another joint
Lets head on down the road
Theres somewhere I gotta go
And you dont know how it feels
No, you dont know how it feels to be me

Me too I always hide behind a cap, makes me feel safe,in the cold times I always use a hood also,because I like and I blend in with other people better,I cant really break it, I feel so nervous when I go to somewhere formal.
