Now i know.Bald=No life

[Nickola]

This part is false. You'll definitely care when your 30 or 80. I'm 30 and I care now more than ever. If you haven't landed a wife yet... this is when things start to worry you as you KNOW your chances are pretty ****ty in finding someone at 30+ AND balding on top.

You'll realize this when your 30 and as bald as you are now or fully bald.

Neither of us have it easy. It's not like your situation doesn't suck because mine's a little less severe.

Nothing. And I don't want to know anything about it. I don't care for bandaid solutions whether they may be hair transplants, wigs, garbage finasteride pills or other measly 'halting' meds. I only care for a cure/total hair loss reversal. Anything short of that is just allowing the industry and researchers to continue with incompetence and mediocrity.

Have you posted pics yet? Does your hair really look that bad?

And yes, my hair loss is bad. Diffuse NW3 with crown loss.

I agree with the OP. I went through the exact same experience. My attitude and personality didn't change until the people around me changed the way they behaved around me and treated me. For well over a year, I noticed subtle changes from those around me and I was confused as to why. However, I was the same me. I didn't have a reason to change. I actually didn't even notice my hairloss at the time either. I was too stupid to realize it at the time. I only remember looking in the mirror from time to time and thinking "why do I look so old?" One day at the doctors office (i went in to ask about dark lines on my nails - they're not cancerous thank goodness) and he noticed my hairloss and suggested Rogaine and Propecia. I thought to myself "I'm too young to be losing my hair. It looks fine" I was 24 or 25 at the time. Months pass and i buy a ball cap to wear at a ball game. For some reason i notice people treating me different. I didn't realize why at the time. But, through retrospection, it finally clicked and i freed myself from this naive state I was in. Before the hairloss, people were generally warm, inviting, approachable, etc. Hairloss begins and all of a sudden people treat you worse and become even hostile at times. So basically, I only started to have a problem with my hairloss because others started having problems with it first! Of course, I have to accept the situation, do my best to treat it as I go on living my life. But, don't tell me that hairloss has no bearing on how others perceive you and treat you because that's BS

Yes, I do know what you mean. Even now I tend to judge those with hairloss, even though I'm going through it myself. But, I'm more aware of my thoughts now and I try to fight it, but it can't be helped sometimes. Like you said, it's like instinct..

Nickola at least you had some good time before your hair loss though. Because of my first "problem" when I was 12 people started to tread me as there lesser when they noticed it (is not very hard to notice). And now as a balding guy if I cut my hair short and you can see my 16 year old receding hairline people tend to ignore me like I am not even in the room. The problem is that my hair is sheepshair like so if I grow it long I look very ugly and if I grow it short it looks well normal enough but as I said before they think I don't exist then. So to keep it short because of al my problems at a young age and saw what happens after that my confidence is gone and I have developed lots of mental problems like social anxiety. So I am going to be alone for the rest of my life, unless they find a cure, that can give me my confidence and mental health back. "sigh" before all of this problems I asked a girl in my class if she wanted to mary me, just for fun and I was very ambitious, look at me now.

Hahaha,i feel you bro,i used to go out in the night clubs and go to strange girls i`ve never meet before and just kiss them in the lips,simple as that(i was drunk though),but i was so super confident of my looks.Most of them were kissing me back believe it or not..Now i am getting nervous just to go and ask their names...It`s a joke...Baldness is the worst decease after aids i believe..
It`s killing you slowly,starting eating your soul from the inside,then giving you mental fog and depression.Then it`s easy to produce types of cancer coming out of anxienty,depression etc..

- - - Updated - - -

I really don`t know what to do..Every day i have the same feelings,the same depression,the same anxienty,facing the same treatment from everyone doesnt help at all.I am afraid of my future,i am only 25...still got few hair on my head,doesnt look completely shiny...What would i do when i go nw5 28 years old?Big 3 maybe helps maintain but for how long...Fina 6 months now is playing with my mind,my libido and my hormones...I am so f4cked dude

 

[hellouser]

its a male curse....but we need to try and remain confident people!!

If confidence is supposed to gain society's respect but it's nullified by society's disrespect towards baldness, what does it matter?

The whole 'confidence' rebuttal is a farce.

Exactly,a guy full head of hair super confident giving attitude around is badass and manly..A bald guy being confident looks weird and akward

 

[Nickola]

More accurately: a bald guy being confident looks pathetic and desperate. I've heard a lot of women use these exact two words when talking about ugly, short or bald men.

Yep,they say look at him: he looks like **** and hes acting like he don`t care..he pretends he is confident..SO EVEN THEN,even if you really feel confident,they ruin everything...But who can blame them?You too if you born handsome,and remain handsome for the rest of your life,anything not handsome,looks weird and pathetic
Insticts once again my friends

 

[Eureka]

To you, don't forget to factor personal bias. You've been 'debilitated' by male pattern baldness, so it makes sense for you to find other men who haven't been 'awkward' and 'weird'. Of course you have to distinguish between false confidence and actual confidence, false confidence is an overcompensation which can be seen from a mile away, hair or no hair.

Acting natural should be the expression used and not acting confident.

Yes, be yourself and you'll likely attract like minded people. But you're still going to be sh*t on for being bald.
