First you get depressed about what is about to come and how much you lose then you become depressed about the hell you are living in as a bald guy and about how much you lost.

Wow it's like you were describing my situation in life. Except I was never really good with the women.

Yeah, probably. I will invest in my future career, because in these 4 years of university there will be no fun for me... Good job, career is what to focus on now..

I am in similar situation as you. Just started uni this year and went from having the best time in my life to worst just because of hair loss

From a life where you life for the moment to a life where you life for the future. Looks like baldness forced you to grow up Toms.

makes no sense shaving when there's barely any hair loss

That pic above is almost exactly like mine.

What sucks is I waited waaayyyy too much to hop on treatment. I have to invent hair styles to cover the recession for the rest of my life, and hope to God it doesn't get worse fast. :(

Those are the right words for the situation. Yeah, it did. But I hate it. The only reason why I'll try to invest in learning ect. is because that is the only way I can graduate from university. What my life consists of right now: trying to learn, worrying about hair loss, worrying about little brothers hair loss, working to earn some money for treatments, spending some of my last days with hair living for the moment, and worrying about the random trouble with the police. Not like I would commit suicide, but I'm just not afraid of death really.

Hanged out with some girls today. They still learn at high school I graduated. They told me how the girls there are like "Oh, that hot Tom was so hot". Then I just randomly talked to them about random topics and I mentioned shaving my head(they thought it was a joke), they told me not to do it, because I will not be myself anymore, and I would go from hot to disgusting. They said they were being honest. They just told me not to shave my head ever(even if they thought the hair was coming back after shaving). Encouraging.

I just live in hope that my life somehow turns out fine, ahhhhhhhh

Maybe you should try to conceal your hair loss with a hairpiece. Even when you stop being social with it, people will at least still remember you as the hot guy.

Hairpiece is so expensive, I hate that I got this s**t now, it could've started after I graduate, I can't afford anything now! :mad:

Let me say this loud and clear, so you'll understand: YOU DON'T NEED A HAIRPIECE, YOU ARE NOT BALD (YET!)

Why are you even considering a hairpiece when your hair loss is not visible to anyone? I have seen your pics, you pass as a full head of hair to anyone but yourself. Maybe in the future, IF your hair loss becomes visible, you can look at your options. For now man up, take your medication, and hope for the best. No need to talk about your "old life" when you have a near full head of hair. I understand it sucks when you start losing hair @ 20 but seriously, you still have some time with your hair so make the best of it.

Who are you talking to? I'm not the one dramatizing my hair loss mind you, just in case you are confused. And I thought I was NW2, good to know I'm not... -.-

Few girls have told me lately that I look different and weird. I am not hot anymore. I have to suck it up and stop living for the moment and start living for the future.

My hair 4 months ago
View attachment 28973

I was considered hot and cool to hang out with.

This is my hair about a month ago.
View attachment 28974
It is see-through. It has gotten worse than this picture. I look a little bit like an alien. Just really weird. My face looks round and fat, whereas a few months ago with awesome hair it seemed like I have cheek bones and masculine face features. And no, I haven't gotten fat, there is really just no way for me to look good with thinning hair. I am below average now. I am back from a party and there were pictures taken, I feel so bad about it. In those pictures my whole large forehead can be seen through my hair.

And the only thing why I'm worried is because my body is not accepting finasteride. I have a funky feeling in right breast. When I drove home, my right breast was shaking when we drove through pits. Like it's made of fat, not muscle. My only hope is RU.

I am not saying I am suicidal, it's just hard to understand that you no longer are hot and things will only get worse. And its just some hair, but I couldn't have ever imagined that it changes so much, I just don't understand why a human who is attractive is suddenly changed to unattractive, even though he still would be very attractive with hair. I just don't understand nature, it is so weird.

My standarts(of girls) have dropped, the 16 year olds I was rejecting 2 years ago are now out of my league, rrrrghhhh....
The only thing that motivates me is that there are so many successful rich bald guys eating at my restaurant, and they seem pretty happy about who they are and are hanging out with decent girls, I still always thought that I am better than them when I thought I'll have my hair till my 50s, but now they are the best I could become and the motivation, that's it, from this moment on, I am stopping to hang out, not drinking anymore, not smoking pot, spending money uselessly, just focusing on my studies.

You people can think what you want to think, but that is still the way I feel.

I might be overreacting and acting like a pu**y, but hair was the feature that made me. I am a little bit intoxicated now, and that is why I feel even worse about it. This is like seeing your relationship with a girl you love falling apart, but 50x worse.

And if I will be wearing a hairpiece, I have to start now in order to no one to notice that my hair has noticeably changed. But I'm a broke student. I just cross my fingers for my future carreer to succeed.

I'm still not sold with your arguments. First, you claim you had severe hair loss in only 4 months, when clearly you had longer hair in the first pic and still have a pretty decent and non noticeable loss in the second pic. Then you constantly keep bringing it up in every single thread and make threads about it every single day.

There is definitely progress since you admitted that you are acting like a pussy, because you really are. But you need to stop the "I'm drunk as I'm writing" shiit and make use of the tons of hair you have. And with that said I might add that I'm also not convinced girls "reject you now because you are balding" because that's bullshiit too, I am 100% sure no one but yourself and everybody you comment to knows you are balding.

Hey, you might have started the rumor yourself in your school and brought it all for acting like a complete fāggot in the first place...

EvilLocks is Right! I saw the pics of your hair the way it currently is. The only thing wrong with your hair is your hair cut.

Yea, we also need "The negative psychosocial impact of NW5's on hair loss community" ..etc.

"The bald, the bitter and the hatter" section.

We may need a new section called "The impact of BDD".

I think BDD is a sympton of society's, not ours. We're not the ones that have a problem with us being bald. Ask yourself: who's doing the hating, ridiculing, humiliation and rejection?
