Hi I have a terrible anxiety issue about getting my haircut. And have done for a long time.
I am a social anxiety sufferer and have been for years, and so when I go to get my haircut I feel scared, pathetic and vulnerable.
Because I very concious of my appearance I now choose to go to a proper salon and have my 'Gents' cut done by a professional, it only costs about £5 more than the barbers and the cut gives me more confidence.
The problem is I panic when I get my haircut and I hate it, I hate to look in the mirror, I can't talk to the hairdresser with confidence, I get major hot flushes and I feel terribly nauseas the whole time. Because of this I feel like a burden on the person cutting my hair, and always leave feeling embarrassed and tell myself I will feel better next time I get it done, but this never happens. =( I hate it
