[Beingbaldsucksass]

If you stebalised your hairloss with finasteride and you arnt losing anymore but you lost your temples it's worth to do an hair transplant, you don't need a lot of hair and it will be resistant to dht. Mattewo mackgganhy did an hair transplant and on finasteride ever since and he maintained his hair

[...] Prepare to deal with other horrible things in your life, apart from baldness, that will surely appear later.

Yeah, very uplifting.

I agree that accepting baldness is a good thing, in fact it's the best way to handle it.

If, however, you feel bad about being bald, don't just sit around and do nothing. Baldness is no longer a life sentence and there are effective solutions out there.

I agree that there is too many zombies and cry babies. The most ****ed up part is that, if I didn't lose family, both my dad and sister in a ****ing drunk driving accident, I would be doing the same as most people.

For me, my hair is thick, long, full head of hair. The only bad thing is it slightly receeds. Well, I spent my life since before puberty with acne and it got gradually worse with time. Despite everything, my skin broke out, no matter healthy diets or sugar and dairy free. I never had severe acne although, I got odd bad pimples. I have large pores and few acne scars left by cystic acne. I took accutane and skin cleared but hairloss began.

Its pretty ****ing depressing losing family, acne in my teens, even acne scars, dead family from drunk driver, and now hairloss. I am ashamed to admit contemplating suicide but, my father never raised a coward. I am still here. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I reading about powerful, inspiring, and powerful people. People who over came adversity.

I spent the time I had with my dad and sister as a miserable piss ant due to bad skin. If they were alive I would do the same with hairloss. With my mom I am more appreciative. I've missed many opportunities for dating or sex cause of my own insecurities and lack of taking action. Never again. I'll enjoy hair while I have it. I'll shave it when it goes.

I think we all need a tattoo that reads, "this too will pass"

''to the extent of not being singled out'' and to not be victimized and regarded as lesser human , even if they don't say it openly their actions speak for themselves.
stop taking things out of context.

and tell me how is it no big deal? tell me who wants to look old and rotten, like withering to death, while still in their prime age-wise? would it not affect the person emotionally? it's not ''different'', it's messed up, it's wrong.
i wish someone would just take a needle and pop that bubble of yours.

danny makes me miss seb's presence.

Basically this^ and your post before.

Baldness makes you stand out in a bad way. You may say anyone who disrespects us isn't worth our time but when the majority of the population are socially taught to hate bald people, it's better to conform and "fit in" than stick out like a sore thumb and be right. It's not about trying to look younger either, it's about trying to look normal so I don't have to be singled out and subjected to harsh social friction that baldness inflicts. Again, it's not about vanity it is about conformity. You can say "who cares what other people think" but those who do under estimate the value of being able to relate and work well with people on a daily basis which is alas a general reality we are all chained to.

the need for common courtesy gets denied.

dissatisfaction with it has nothing to do with being a sheep or anything of the sort.

This is 100% true and why those who are bald stay in their homes or apartments as much as possible. They are not thought of as normal so cannot conform. They must hide away. Every place I ever worked I used to look around and I was the only one with hair loss. You see, it is not accepted. Half the guys weren't losing their hair, nor were 1/3 or 1/4. Just me. Hair loss is not normal.

Wrong. If you are starting to lose your hair their are some options. Once you are bald there is nothing you can do. There is not enough remaining hair for an effective transplant. Been there, done that. Other than the half-assed rogain and propecia drugs, there have not been any advancements in treating baldness. Micro grafts, mini-grafts, single hair transplants, blah, blah, blah. It is still the same. A limited amount of hair to be transplanted.

your making me feel depress now :sobbing:

Sorry, but I am just being honest. The transplant doctors are just there to make money. Then, once you start losing your fine hairs, the transplants stand out like a sore thumb. Until they can clone your hair and get an unlimited supply, transplants are not an effective option.

I live for one reason now >> get hair transplant

i will never except bladness

Do not kill my dream

Good for you to not accept baldness. I have a lot of respect for you to be like that, unlike people who don't give a damn how they look and just accept their baldness. Wanting to do something about it as oppsed to falsely believing that people will accept your baldness shows that you are a very intelligent guy.

If you are young, you can hope that the transplants hold you over until they find a real cure or way to clone hairs. For me I spent a lot of money and all I had to show for it was wearing a hat for 30 years to hide the baldness and transplants.

I'm the only real bald guy at my work too. None of my friends are bald either. Only me.

 

[Beingbaldsucksass]

I can honestly say now

Medication is working

I don't remember my hairline that full in the past, don't remember I had even one day without seeing hair on my hands, now I don't see any, my hair feels stronger then ever and I look good

"accept it" why? I don't get any Sides and I can maintain my hair for years, why should I suffer?
