2 realizations in one day

[RoyD]

So yesterday I happened to be standing right under a light bulb in my house and I looked into the mirror like I always do to see my hair and there it was! A proper visible horse shoe. Basically my hairloss is so diffused at the moment that I could see the exact formation of the horse show even though I'm still NW4. There was a clear difference in thickness between the hair on top and on the sides.
Second observation was that I had come back home from football so I was quite sweaty and in the lift. As the lift started moving the fan on top came on and began blowing air on my scalp. At first it felt really good but then I was like WTF! The air is actually blowing through my hair and right onto my scalp. A guy with thick hair would never feel any air on his scalp. Perhaps I am really an official bald head right now.

I think this is a sign that it's time to shave it off and let it do. Idk how long I'll be able to carry on the combover now.

I feel your pain, I have diffuse thinning too,except I'm thin and bald all over,I look at my horseshoe pattern in the front of my once growing hair and I know its too late for treatments.

I remember the "who are you fooling" moment all too well, when I realized the battle had been lost long ago.

Welcome to the club.

Every time I think ok this is it. This is the last I'm ever going to have long hair in life. But then when I go to the barber I just can't muster the courage to tell him to shave it off or even buzz it. It's always like let me just get a trim and keep it for just another month. Anyways I'm going to my home town for Christmas and will be meeting a few relatives after a long time. I guess I'm gona buzz it down max so that everyone knows I'm balding and won't be shocked and keep asking me 'OMG what happened to your hair???' a few years later.
I guess it's time to be That Bald Guy.

How old are you?
This is my issue. The hair on top is so thin I can see the horse shoe. Its depressing and disgusting.

21. It looks pretty good in low or normal light from the front because I'm not a receder. But the problem gets scary in strong light like at the gym. I swear I look more at my hair/scalp in the mirror than my muscles at the gym.

It began with taking steroids?

Try the high and tight hair cut..zero number ka trimmer at your sides and minimum cutting on the top....

 

[Nadester]

May i suggest mixing your dutasteride pills in minoxidil solution then using it??You don't have any sides so how about giving it a try??

There's nothing positive about baldness. Hope has been limited to 44 years of research on fvcking mice.

I didn't say it was positive. Life will throw sh!tty things your way--it's up to you and how you deal with it that either makes you the cream that rises to the top or the turd that sinks to the bottom.

You don't overcome baldness, its not a personal issue, its a societal problem that pegs you as a bottomfeeder. You can believe and exude the total opposite, but it won't change society's view of you. You don't win with baldness.

Bottom feeder huh? I guess all those hardworking bald guys I see at my club, or many of my own clients who clearly have lots of money and have done well for themselves are bottom feeders. Oh wait, that would include myself I suppose.

Your self perception is so toxic it's deplorable. You're doing everybody here a disservice. If you think your life is over, then just keep it to yourself. You make these outlandish, sweeping, unsubstantiated claims like "bald people get passed over for jobs," that are clearly your own pessimistic views. It would seem as though you're beyond help and have decided to just check out. Best of luck to you.

BTW--you're not even bald. I've seen your pics on the other forum.

Let's not act as if bald men are ever considered 'top tier'

I'm pretty sure nobdy thinks about it nearly as much as you do, least of which the people you meet on a day to day basis. If your hair is your entire identity, then I'm sorry. My baldness certainly hasn't slowed me down.

 

[scorpiolove]

I'll touch on your positivity campaign MercMan, It was said once in these forums before,but I'll say it again for comic relief.
What if somebody real close to you offered you a Ferrari and he said it was behind you! and he says open your eyes and you turn around and voila! he gives you a banana!
Most people including myself would be issed off and they'd have the right to be! The argument for this is well, at least you got a banana, while the freaking people all around you have Ferraris oh yeah, plus you have to walk an hour home from work back to a crappy *** family. I know this seems extreme but some people struggle way more than others and they have the right to feel like ish because their life is ish.

 

[MercMan]

Interesting example. And yes, it is an extreme example. But if having hair is like having a Ferrari, then there must be plenty of people who have a Porsche, and a Mercedes, and an Audi, and a Subaru, and a Kia, and then a broke down old Caddy. And just because you have a Ferrari doesn't mean you know how to drive--in fact you might be a terrible driver (short, ugly, acne, poor, socially awkward, alcoholic, etc).

I would probably take that banana and find a girl who liked having fruit shoved in her snatch.

At a lack of being humble, I was a rather attractive fellow (well, still am methinks) when I had glorious flowing locks. I modeled as a kid, landed newspaper and catalog jobs with Nordstrom and Lands End, and countless auditions where my looks were the main focus--to name just a few. A buddy and I had a contest in HS to see who had a higher score on the website Hot or Not and I maintained a 9.9 score for...ever? So ya, losing my hair at 23 was tragic. Thankfully, I have other qualities, so I use those the best I can, deal with what life has handed me, and keep my chin up. Did life sometimes feel like a drawn out nightmare, or a cruel joke that I could hadly believe was happening to me? Yes. Sh!t, I had p**rn related ED issues that showed up right about the time I started losing my hair, which perpetuated itself in the form of performance anxiety--talk about a depressing 1-2 combo. I distinctly remember being in the shower once after not being able to get it up thinking "if my d!ck doesn't work, and I'm losing my hair, really what's the point in being alive?"

But realizing that was a ridiculous, self-defeating and counter-productive attitude, I pulled myself up by my bootstraps, and kept on living. I'm not going to beat my own chest here, but I've not had a lack of ladies in my life, and I don't think wallowing in my own self-pity will help. It's one thing to say "I feel like this," or I can't help but think," but to spout acidic trash as if it were solid fact is just nonsense.
