Depressed with hair loss, so I killed an entire extra large pizza and 3 cokes.

[UK_]

Let me tell you a side story. Yesterday I had to run some errands. Some kids that knew the neighbor's kid next door accidentally rang my doorbell. In any event I came down the stairs because I had to pick up something and get in my car and open the garage and I had to pass them. And immediately these 8 year olds and 9 year old were snickering about my hair loss and making it damn obvious pointing and whispering. Women not wanting you is one thing but young people making fun of you is the worst. In any event I walked past them to my garage and I paused I had to change this and turn this around. I said to them who wants free comics from my garage and suddenly I became a hero to them and I gave away my Captain America shield and they took that and they had a blast and good times and they laughed and thanked me. I turned cruelty and disrespect into admiration in less than a few minutes. Now my hair was unshaved.. and I decided to stop hiding it so that I could see my Dutasteride progress but the baldness is still showing through the newly growing hair depending on the angle on the shine from the oiliness of it. Sometimes it isn't easy being a balding man and it is a hard road to walk down but you can make it easier by not reacting in certain ways to give those calling you out the attention they want from you because this is a projection of their own insecurities heaped on you. That how can this guy emanate such self confidence looking like that and yet I who have a head of hair have such low self esteem.. hmm then let's mock him and bring him down beneath my level. That is what people who make fun of or laugh at you in their heart of hearts are really thinking. And while you are on meds or whatever treatment to repair the damage Dutasteride or Finasteride will never repair the psychological impact of the scars of what you feel about yourself and if you love yourself as a person and see yourself as someone of great worth.

What NW are you atm?

[yeahyeahyeah]

The fact that you use a rating system for you looks says all anyone needs to know about you.

I just like to look good.

And i thaught i was crazy...

[greatjob!]

Losing the temple points is a bitch.

Tbh when I photoshop my hair to how it should be, I'm easily an 8.

With hairloss I am a 5

[yeahyeahyeah]

When I said they are easy to impress with material/status things I also said it hinged on how you look

This is part of why even light recession can be depressing, it can significantly throw off the dimensions of your face. Also the loss of temple points (different from hairline corner recession) will always cause a cosmetic problem
Remember some faces can be hit harder than others by the same amount of loss.

*sigh* Comprehensive reading fail?
Look man, first: NOBODY said "he should stop caring about his hair because he is 28", that was not implied and the age thing was not even used in that context.

Second: I am 28 years old myself and a far more advanced 'bald brother'. I KNOW what it's like to be balding in your late 20's. (which he atm obviously is not)

Third: If "younger women are very easy to impress when you have disposable income, your own place/car, style, social skills, etc" 'Yeahyeahyeah' should stop ****ing around about his life being ruined because his hair density being only 90% or being a NW 1,5 and actually do something about the parts in his life which are lacking. That was the context in which the age-argument actually was used.

Again, great job is on point.

Yeahyeahyeah youre ****ing mental dude, go live your life. You're pissing everyone off with your attitude, and I don't even think youre trying to troll.

This thread went from FlightTL's depression to 19 pages of talking about yeahyeahyeah's hair loss or lack thereof.

Yeah (yeahyeah) because he should be committed to a mental institution...

I can see that you want to be where you were before re: hairline etc. The one thing I'll note is that this is causing you stress. The more stress you have on this the more it'll accelerate your hair loss. So just chill and live your life. Yes, people are shallow and especially women re: dating. That's the world.

As to marriage, if a chick can't accept you for who you are, she's no good and will likely divorce your ass, and do an eat pray love tour when she gets bored. BTW, people aren't even getting married as much anymore. Perfectly normal to be single into older age than it was during the 80s.

Today I went to an exclusive event, I was on stage. Room was full of women, I was so concious about my hair - kept going to the bathroom. Girls opened me at the bar, but my insecurities were getting the better of me.

Anyway, to give you lads an idea of the kinda of comments I was getting tonight - "James Bond".

I literally had women approach me in the street and asked me about who I was, why I was dressed so smart.

If I lose my hair, I doubt I will be compared to him. Very intriqual to my look.

I have had to wash my hair using thickeners and stuff for today, as my hairdresser cut my hair too short.

It would be different if he were in a situation where he has a starting bald spot or NW 2,5 of which you know will be much worse 2 years later.
At this moment he has no visible problem and it's highly uncertain he even has the onset of mpb, yet he claims his life is ruined.

You're asking me to be compassionate because he's clearly insane. His problems have nothing to do with baldness! I don't think have his best interest at heart if I'd encourage him while he pisses away his life, when what he needs is a wake up call.



Ugh...
Look, personally I've been visiting a psychiatrist since I was 21, even before I started going bald. I'm neurotic, I over-think things until I build up stress and end up having panic-attacks. But honestly, I'm not the only one like that on this forum. There are more members like me.

But here comes the difference: this is a baldness forum not a mental forum. The guy has no baldness FFS.
If your hair is in the same state as 'yeahyeahyeah' and you think your life is over, please look for another forum because you're not gonna find a treatment on this one.

When my hairloss started you lot would say the same to me to what you are saying to yeahyeahyeah noone knows their hair better then you do...you wouldnt of noticed it but it was there everyone said to me the same sort of things you lot are saying "there is nothing wrong" "your hair is fine" etc etc but i knew better i was right in the end some of my worries (which are long gone now) came true...and i dont want him to piss his life away just as much as you or anyone else im just trying to explain what it COULD be whats wrong with him...only he truly knows obviously...showing some compassionate is not hard and i dont mean tell him "you are fine nothing is wrong blah blah"...i cant say if his hair will get worse or not but i know i was similar to him and had the similar responses.

[Morbo]

But it is not as easy as that cause his hair looks "fine" dont mean nothing...im the worrying type i always worry specially over silly stuff what dont matter i cant help it (like when i worried about my hairloss even though it was still "perfect" to others at the time)...once the worry settles in thats it it is hard to get out all you lot saying pretty much on the words of..."stop being silly your hair is fine dont waste the time you have with hair" makes no difference we KNOW we shouldnt worry but can't help it...kinda like someone with OCD (like myself but different types) and cant stop washing their hands they know the reason they are doing it is stupid but cant stop.

Im sure yeahyeahyeah (unless this is just a big troll attempt) knows he has enough hair for now but he worries are what to come (horseshoe or if the hairloss will get worse or not etc) your worries can make things seem alot worse then they actually are...instead of being a tosser to him try an understand where he is coming from and realise not everyone thinks the same (i dont mean just you i mean others aswell)

It would be different if he were in a situation where he has a starting bald spot or NW 2,5 of which you know will be much worse 2 years later.

Well if that is crazy then lock me away cause i must be crazy because the things i have worried about and the thoughts you think when you in this state of worry was alot worse then the stuff yeahyeahyeah has said...you just dont understand like i said worries can make things look alot worse then it actually is.

There's a big difference between worrying and claiming your life is ruined and you live in fear from a problem that doesn't exist, that's called being crazy.
