Went To A Wedding Surrounded By Family And Old Friends - My Feelings.

[buckthorn]

With HORRENDOUS diffused thinning at this point (keeps getting worst and worst) AND with my hair transplant scar showing. The brightest lights you could ever imagine, full sun, see through hair with a scalp painted grayish-brown with dermmatch. Last time I saw these people (a couple years ago) I literally had TWICE as much hair in the front... my feelings.

Before the wedding - "I hate this f*****g sh*t, why do I have to see people. I hate life. I feel sick"

After the wedding - I love every one and am super grateful for life.

I am sure that now I will return back in the middle of these two thought processes. But from the bottom of my heart, the feeling I had after the rehearsal, lying in bed was one of the most amazing ever.

NO one NOT A SINGLE PERSON even looked at my hair. You know me, and I am a keen observer of these things. I was waiting for it. Didn't happen. Yes, it looked terrible from every angle. diffused thinning is sickly looking.

I indulged in long, genuine conversation, laughed, cried, made people laugh.. everyone loved me and I loved them.

I wonder HOW different it would be if I had shaved my head, which honestly, I was THIS close to doing. I actually went to a barber, sat down and sternly said, "shave it, now"...

She calmed me down and said, "I think you would look good with it shaved... but you will show up with a dark tan and a white head. come back after the wedding and I will gladly do it for you."... almost like she refused.

People are beautiful. despite how horrendous you look... people are definitely inherently good.

Family and friends - The source of all white lies in the world.

that's inspiring Buck. these experiences remind us that there is life after hair loss. it's just a series of highs and lows, the ratio of which swings heavily toward the latter after diffuse thinning, but the good moments make it worth continuing to live.

You felt better AFTER the wedding because you most probably got drunk during the party.

Oh, and your hair is not nearly as bad as you picture it. I'm quite sure of it.

You're very, very lucky that your family, friends and acquaintances are good people who respect you and love you enough to not joke or point out your downfall in the looks department.

My family is like this too, they are nice and they don't talk about it. Yet last summer, I overheard my old grandparents talking about my thinning hair and my receded hairline. They were sad about it, because I am just another one in the family to go down the bald road very young.

Just another f*****g baldie. Not their grandson. A f*****g baldie.

I never felt so ashamed in my entire life. It felt close to a trauma. Never have I heard my grandparents talk about me that way, with such disappointment and sadness in their tone. I felt like crying like a baby. It was one of the tipping points that made me start finasteride, because I don't want to disappoint them like this. My hairline is gone though, and I won't regain much ground.
They are nice though and they don't talk about it with me, nor they comment or things like that.

Truth is out there though. I pray for the cure.

he has posted plenty of pics and he is in a tough situation. full coverage but diffusion. norwood spotters can tell by his hair texture.

I love such experiences.Even after nw6,i have increased my social interactions from this year instead of hesitating to meet friends/new people or attending functions.
When i meet new people,it positively helps me to forget this hair loss.
Makes me feel happy from heart.
Now,i don't even think about baldness related comments on me.That bad phase has finally ended for me.
I have age of 30 now.
I don't want to ruin my 30's on this superficial thing by worrying about hair loss.

I doubt in normal conditions it can be easily spotted by most people.

dude, I have posted pics of it MANY times. just imagine it even worst than that, because that's what it is.

HONEST responders, like blackg, doctor house, guzam, etc... responded to the pics honestly, "it doesn't look good" or "looks like the plague"

Bitter people who FEEL they have it worst in life responded with, "oh it's not that bad, blah blah, etc..."

either way, it's mostly gone. I did not make this post to start a discussion about my hair or prove anything. it's just what happened and how it made me feel.

could you link me to the pics?

the barber, "yes it's super thin"

my worker, "yup, you're losing it quick"

man at gas station, "you need to grow your hair out to cover all those bald spots"

WHAT they have in common? they are all foreigners, and foreigners tell it how it is.

Perhaps I just have such nice eyes and strong facial features that with a short hair cut (#6) it becomes less apparent, because people like to look me in the eyes... I assume this is it.

We saw his hair like 4 months back - its thinning but it doesn't look bad at all unless under harsh lights.

 

[buckthorn]

is this the "Exodus" that is always posting on here regularly, or someone else... if it is the former, then you have seen many of them AND commented on them. I don't know how to link.

exactly... well, my hair line is almost completely gone now, about 1.5" up... this may be from quitting RU? or a she from attempting microdosing finasteride. idk man...

That's what I was implying.

@buckthorn you got good relatives.
When I was 25 I distinctly remember my aunt saying to my mother: "what's wrong with Robert's hair? What did he do?"
Dayum.

i'm going through his threads i cant find it. at least theres no thread title mentioning pictures. i dont remember seeing his picture but its not surprising that its not that bad. its usually the most vocal and hysterical ones that have the least hair loss.

I have severe, relentless diffused thinning, BEYOND the NW6 pattern... on the sides too. jesus... well, I'll post some pics later to shut you up.

I can tell you first hand that a lot of people on this impact section aren't even nw3's.

Over the past 4 weeks I've had around 10-15 PM's of men asking me to rate their looks and only 3 of them were nw3 or beyond. Two of them had literally no visible hair loss.

I wont name them because I did agree to confidentiality, but do be aware that fullheads walk amongst us.
