      Last time I shaved it felt like my chin had been amputated

        I inadvertently switched my thrichotillamania to my beard a few years ago.

        I miss it terribly. Shaving is so much work, and while it’s relaxing, inevitably an ingrown hair pops up and retriggers everything anyway when I attempt to grow it back.

        I’ve been worried I permanently destroyed it like the guy in the meme, but I had my thumb bound up for 5ish weeks and it came back in nicely before I decimated it again.

        Amputation is a very accurate description

      I’ve had a beard ever since I could grow one. It hit me pretty hard when I turned 18, just boom, beard, and haven’t shaved it smooth since. I literally have no idea what I look like as an adult without a beard.
