Hi Alyien
In my opinion, no, wearing a piece is not that bad. There has never been a better time to try hair replacement. Most of the tangible things about it are good - instant good looking hair, reliable, low cost, no pain, reversible if you don't like it. The bad bits are mostly in your head - the stigma that people talk about. For me that pretty much disappeared within a couple of months of starting to wear, but that is definitely not true for everyone.
The best I can say is that it is worth a go if you are unhappy with your current situation. You can try it for a few hundred dollars, and if it's not for you all you have lost is those few hundred dollars. You may, like me, find it is the answer to your problem.
