I'm kind of scared :( (some advice?)

...See more So, I recently turned 18. In my country (Argentina), there’s this “tradition” where, when a guy turns 18, his friends or family shave his head as a joke I’m a closeted MTF, and I really don’t want that to happen so uuuh Here's my plan I actually turned 18 while I was traveling in another city for vacation. My plan is that, before going back home, I’ll go to a barber and ask them to cut my hair very short — but not shave it. I see my friends three times a week, and they’ve been insisting on shaving my head, mostly because I have curly hair and they think it would be “funny.” But I’m hoping that if they see me with very short hair already, they won’t feel the urge to shave me anymore, or at least not as much. I also have a few arguments ready, like: “If my (female) friend doesn’t have to shave her head, why should I?” or “My dad is bald anyway, so I probably already lost the genetic war.” Still, I feel really anxious about the whole situation. I don’t want to be bald just because people see me as a man. It feels unfair, and honestly, it hurts more than they probably realize.

...See more I'm running for student council, and I'm terrified. I'm afraid of losing. I'm afraid that if I lose, people will laugh at me or see me as a failure. It feels like if I don’t win, something inside me will collapse — like a part of who I am will disappear. I don’t like the people I’m competing against, they are not good. I think about how much I’ve imagined myself succeeding, being respected, being seen. And the idea of that future not happening makes me feel empty, almost like I don’t know who I am without it. There’s pressure all the time — in my chest, in my mind. Even small things make me overthink. I feel like everyone is ahead, like I’m not doing enough, like I’m falling behind. Sometimes I just want to quit, but at the same time, I can't. Because if I do, it feels like I'm giving up on myself. But staying also hurts. It’s exhausting. And the worst part is... I keep repeating the same patterns in my head. Doubt. Fear. Harsh thoughts about myself. Even though I try to move forward, they pull me back. I feel like I’m stuck between who I am and who I’m supposed to be. And I don’t know how to carry that anymore.

Any advice? I don't want to feel hurt when I lose, speacilly because I ll finish school in 2026 :(, and the elections are this month

...See more You know, today I invited a girl to go out (yep, in 02/14) she say that she can't do it today but she can other day, the next week. I'm feeling quite bad but happy at the same time, but the problem is that I'm insecure about all of this. How can I be more secure in this situation?
