I had similar feelings, that I now remember as a creeping dread, and actually leaned into it for a few years, revelling in the fact that I was finally looking manly enough that I didn’t question things when I looked in the mirror. But I was quietly hating it and myself.
I finally realized that was going the wrong direction for me. I had to start living the life I’d been pushing away for so long. So I started plucking the eyebrows, wearing makeup (most of the time) and getting rid of body hair. My hairline could use some work but maybe hormones will help me a bit there. We do have to accept our bodies as we grow older but you can battle the old man look if you want, in small or big ways, and find your balance again. Hugs!
