What is more emotionally painful than to have a NW7 horsehoe at age 20?

[sheraz1392]

God blesses only few with this of his blessing at such a young age!. I'm one of those few lucky ones.

I'm having some difficulty making the parallel .Would you be kind enough to expound at greater length for me on your point? Thanks.

He's being sarcastic. Are you really NW7 sheraz? I don't think i've ever heard of an NW7 20 year old... NW3 or thereabouts yes, but not NW7... Are you on any treatment? What did your doctor say about it? Could there be another cause?

 

[DannyBoyy]

What i think is worse then being a NW7 at 20 is letting this hairloss problem control you by looking in the mirror all the time etc...cause end of the day you are NW7 at 20 like it or not if you moan or not moaning just wastes your time.

Yes, I have very thin hair left on top, hairline isn't intact anymore and horseshoe is deep into sides and Retrograde alopecia is also going on with the thinning in the nape and around the ears(whole package, 'Thank you God'). I'm on finasteride since June '13 and I'm not sue if it's working. I got my blood checked last week and everything was ok except a lil' low Vitamin D.

What is he supposed to do? Enjoy life? Hit on girls? Go to parties and have the time of his life?

Like a bald 20 years old could just behave like anybody else his age without being noticed or called out.

Couldn't agree more, my friend just messaged me that tomorrow we are going to barbecue at a beach and I just lied to him that I have an appointment with a Doctor. Why? because I'm sick of this baldness, my confidence is on the floor.

So what do you want him to do? feel sorry for himself? miss the best years of his life? make him regret as he gets older? hide away? etc...when i had hair i was "called out" for what ever reasons so should i just give up all together? **** happens...no one wants it but thats the world we live in you get assholes...now you gonna let them win and "hide" away or prove them wrong by living your life to the full?...your choice.

 

[I.D WALKER]

Coping with hair loss is typically a very subjective experience. The grief it causes can not always be put into relative terms. All I can say is you are not alone and I don't imply this as a means of consolation. Try and step back a little and regroup because we are all in this for the long haul. It is terribly hard not to allow our anxiety to get the best of us and once it does, well matters are only amplified.I know all too well its dehabilitating nature,it has earned the name "disease" for a reason. Keep sharing and best wishes.

 

[maher]

You should go to that BBQ and swing with your dick like you own it..

 

[DannyBoyy]

Of course not. Everything you say is pretty easy to say, but have you been in the shoes of someone who's terribly aesthetically challenged at a young age? You can pretend everything is fine but other people will make sure you remember your place. I have a friend who is quite ugly, and the general consensus among his friends is that he should not even try, because you know, he's ugly. It's sad but it's like that, and you know ugly people get treated that way by today's society. At least being fat or short is common for young people. Being bald in your early twenties is as hard as it gets.

Yes i do you REALLY think its people with no hair who gets this crap? i had it most my god damn life people calling me names looking at me with disgust...for years i thought i was ugly cause how i was treated by no means i think im great looking regardless but after all those years trust me i felt like ****...of course i dont know what its like compared to someone with a disabilty etc...but this does not mean i havent been treated like crap or dont know what it feels like to feel down etc...do you think i have ALWAYS been this confident? funny enough ever since i accepted going bald i have been getting more confidence as the time goes on...compared to when i had hair...im 22 im bald now have few hairs in the crown area but im pretty much done...dont think i ever been this confident...sure i have down days who dont im only human but still.



Lifes a b**ch yeah it may seem "easy" for me to say this but this is coming from someone who has kinda been there not as bad as most obviously but has had enough **** to feel bad about myself...you can feel sorry all you like you can go "why me" as you pulling your hair out but it wont change **** been there done that i felt sorry for myself more times then i can count...you only messing yourself up you got to remember i was in this spot when i was 18 always looking in mirrors hoping no one would see my hairloss it messed me up...you can ether over come it or let it over come you easier said then done but thats life only YOU noone else but YOU can change how you feel.

 

[I.D WALKER]

There is an infinite number of ways to express how hair loss screws you up. None I know of at present will change matters. It easily becomes your identity because it can't really be stopped and it is next to impossible to hide. Ultimately we can only deal with it however our temperamental disposition permits of course our financial state is always a part of it.And yes you are right DannyBoyy that no one else but you can change how you feel. I have been afflicted with hair loss a long time and I have to say most days the shock still follows me. For years I have tried to overcome my grief still it haunts me like the curse its become. We've heard it all before and its so damn exhausting. I will continue to medicate and medicate and pray someday soon we will all turn a corner.

Not everyone has as independent a spirit or is as voluntarily socially oblivious (take your pick) as Dannyboy. Most people wether they care to admit it or not care how others perceive them. Most normal people don't want to be viewed and treated as sub human monsters or something to be laughed at and choosing to ignore it doesn't make it stop or go away. That is the problem dannyboy and the reason why your advice feels so moot all the time. Sure, feeling bad isn't productive but some things just can't be helped or avoided or suppressed and it is ultimately better to acknowledge the truth of our feelings than to discredit them for the sake of trying to convince yourself that you are indifferent.

Its like you ignore what i say how many times have i said i been treated like crap etc etc and i felt bad etc etc...dont you think i understand the stuff you are saying? and how hard it is to not want to care? how do you think it made me feel when i had hair (the stuff you seem to want so god damn bad) YET i was still treated horribly?...you talk as if you get some type of "break" from horrible remarks when you have hair or you are treated as a human (cause apparently bald guys are treated as some type of freak show)...i didnt have this...so dont dare try to make out i dont understand the pain of not wanting to be treated badly or that i havent wanted to "fit in" once upon a time...you can sit there and think im talking out my arse but dont you dare make out i dont understand peoples pain here.


No where am i saying supress or ignore anything obviously this dont work but sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself is not gonna work either trust me take it from me..."easy said then done" you may say well duh captain god damn obvious you think i came confident over night?...come on UCMan i thought you had more brains then this.

you should get your T levels checked. real men don't give a phuck about how others perceive them. learn to handle your emotions better and see the world for what it is.

waah waah dey point at my bald head!!1! go buy a toupee or invest in micropigmentation if you're so bothered by this. all you balding bastards out there if you are so bothered by the Norwood 7 then get on finasteride, dutasteride and nizoral ASAP. do everything in your power to halt balding.

 

[der29]

So, you just joined the forum. Tell me, what Norwood level are you? NW2-2,5 I suppose? If you're such a big boy, shave your head slick bald, go out and tell us how easy it is to live your everyday life. Try to hit on hot girls with your huge shiny bald head and watch their reaction.

If you're not bald, you have no right to state your opinion on this, you just don't know what it's like on the other side.

bald = sexual death sentence. of course unless you are black or have male model looks. bald and white = time to invest in skin pigmentation, leg lengthening (if under 6 feet) and chin implants (bald and weak chin? lmao). the choice is yours!

 

[Another]

Sorry to hear man, you have to get on finasteride/dutasteride ASAP and maybe it'll help. I'd been foolish to think it doesn't matter and left it until it was too late. Believe me hair does make a difference and the earlier you jump on drugs the better chance you have to regrow some. You still have a chance to regain some via drugs. Having not regained anything on finasteride I've already had three hair transplant's(4500 grafts), but there's a fourth one coming up. At NW6 you need at least 6000 grafts(depending on your skull size) just to have a low density NW2ish. So jump on treatments and if they don't work get hair transplants while remaining on them. To pull off a bald head you need to be a cream of the crop aesthetically blessed man...and even then you're always just gonna be a bald dude. Don't bother asking anyone you know what they think about you being bald, because they'll lie to you and tell you it's a none issue while the exact opposite is true.

 

[der29]

I'm bald and pale and I'm having sex at least once a week, but hey, if you want to use this as an excuse for why you don't get laid, don't hesitate.

You know what we do to guys from PUAHate here? Ban!

good for you. what's PUAhate?

It's tough, I have no doubt. Get ripped, get tan, and add 3". Get the surgery though, don't use pills or a pump. I can't believe people are that gullible in this day and age, those damn things don't even work. You can be a p**rn star, look at Ron Jeremy. Tell me he's a genetic trophy winner. We'll one part is.

 

[yadayada029]

Yeah: "get jacked": easiest advice ever! "get tanned": safest advice ever. "Become taller!": of course, no one thought of that! Just become taller! So simple.

I know you were ironic, but those "golden advices" get thrown out there way too often.

You're obviously not familiar with Ron Jeremy's work, and completely missed the joke. I didn't say "get taller", I said "add 3 inches" or 76 mm for you damned Europeans. Think about it for a while, or google Ron Jeremy, but don't do it at work.

 

[yadayada029]

I know he's a pornstar but yeah, I missed the joke because we use real measurement units here in Europe.

Rubbish, real men measure in inches.
