I am SO close to being able to have a goatee. I have thick, dark hairs all along my shin, and they are very populated. But there's this tiny bald patch right at the tip of my chin, just enough to split the goatee in two.
I shaved it to just a goatee in the shower, and I had to force myself to shave the rest off instead of passing it off as "meh, I can let it grow and see..."
I know my actual puberty was passed long ago, and I am physically an adult, but I really do feel like a teenage guy in so many ways. Given where I am at in my physical appearance, how society sees/treats me, how I am sort of "discovering" myself now that I am actually having a shot at being myself in the world and in body. I could deal with that, except I have adult responsibilities so yeah. I have to pretend I'm not going through a huge personal growth right now.
