I love it, when the whole family is sitting around the table and someone points at me saying "Wow, you have lost a lot of hair since the last time I saw you". Then everybodys looking at my hair and they start commenting my hair status. Feels so good.

At least theres no shame.

Nobody will mock you for baldness if everyone else around you is bald or balding/

Its almost a safe zone.

Imagine if they were all fulheads and you were the only one bald.

There is no scenario where i can imagine myself bald

In my family men that did bald lost their hair pretty quickly after 55ish, other than lucky ole me

My grandpa decided to tell me I'm going bald in front of the whole extended family, imagine having something like 20 people looking at your hair at one time. To make it worse they had those bathroom/elevator lights that show more light that the sun making it look even more crap.

I f*****g hate those lights in the elevator. Especially when they are equipped with mirrors on every angle.

Those overhead studio lights give me anxiety

Family gatherings just suck. To be honest, I would rather vomit all day with the flu, with nothing
but cold water than go to them.

I have one more family gathering to get through tonight then it's all over for another year.

 

[Chromedome1990]

My family is so fragmented that there haven't been family gatherings since like 2008.

Same here

I have worn a hat at every family gathering for the last year. Even Christmas, thanksgiving, if we go out to dinner. Until I am ready to fully deal with my balding, everyone else can deal with the f*****g hat. Only twice have family hinted at or told me to take it off and I told them to f*** off. You can wear nice clothes and get a nice cab boy hat. It is indeed a prison, but it's better than the alternative - bright lights shining through a sickly diffused rats nest and watching people's eyes climb up your forehead with every discussion.

I don't understand why you guys care so much.

You're not looking for romantic love at your family dinner, just companionship. For that you only need to look acceptable, clean, etc.

not always the case. Some families are very harsh critics and base everything on looks. A disappointed look from a beloved family member over something you can't control is brutal. Actually, the MAIN reason I have not shaved my head yet is because I fear how certain members in my family will treat me.

If your family would treat you bad because of something out of your control, then please forgive me, but f*** your family.

no, they would not. not intentionally at least. They are the most loving, considerate family. But they are all very, very vain. I would MUCH rather be verbally outed and have them be brutally honest with me... but usually they just try to keep quite and will probably treat me as a lesser, with less respect.
