Genuinely depressed because of hair loss/no social life/no confidence with girls

Thanks for the advice, men and women.

I'm in the same boat as you, I started losing my hair in my mid-teens and its now become pretty obvious in my early twenties.

It definitely takes away a huge chunk of confidence. I don't have a manly looking face or big beard so having a bald head looks really out of place. Girls don't look at me the same way they use to and I'm a lot more reserved and hesitant in social situations. It really ****ing sucks but you just have to man up. I was out at the mall the other day and I noticed a few guys my age with NW2s and 3s and they were out with their girlfriends just enjoying life. It is possible. You have to work at it. I'm trying to look in the mirror less and less these days and focus on improving me. I'm working out, studying, challenging myself with new things. I could just retreat to my room sit on the internet all day and cry about it but I want to do better.
