Hey guys,

i just wondered, if the hairloss and shedding changed your personality ?

It did for me. I became more and more depressed and im treating people who are the closest to me, like sh*t.

Hairloss started almost 3 years ago.

One cannot change their personality. If you mean how I behaved and treated others then I don't know maybe a little bit. Above all it made me waste a few years of my life being depressed and confused. Only now in my late 20's I'm starting to catch up with the goals I should've achieved years ago.

Not really. It's just one more annoying thing that makes you feel more insecure. You become aware of something that you've been otherwise blessed enough to be ignorant about.

The worst part of hairloss is that you can't hide it. At least not for long, because there's a threshold and after that hiding it makes it even worse. It totally changes the way you look, fucks up your aesthetics, and can make you feel less beautiful (because, let's be honest, that is the case for most of us). But it shouldn't change your personality.

Personality can change that's why there are terms such as premorbid and postmorbid personality. However, this is more to with various pathology like OP described rather than a true intrinsic change and this pathological change is dependent on personality traits. Some people are just more sensitive to changes in life and get affected more. An identical event in 2 otherwise identical people, will not affect them the same.

I don't think adult personality itself fluctuates that much, sure someone may appear very different in terms of dress sense, hobbies, behaviour and meaning of life at some point in life, but the frame of his/her personality is still there like always. Just what was inside that frame has changed for now. Existing pathology can often get worse with age too like any illness.

There are various options for dealing with hair loss and succeeding somewhat, at a point we all find ways to deal with any adversity mentally and physically, that's how human nature is, even if you were one of the unlucky young aggressive sufferers. You'll somehow adapt even if you initially thought you couldn't. Norwood 7 can wear a wig or get transplants and keep it buzzed, life should almost be like before no? Sometimes I feel on here the problem is clearly not just hair but other more pressing issues and that's perfectly understandable. Some people I've seen even have a full head of hair/good looking but can't believe it or are worried about ageing. There's a myriad of general life worries, bdd or lack of a rewarding life due to autism or whatever. There's help in dealing with all this, that's the take home message and don't suffer in silence which just makes it worse.

My love for life will never diminish till the last breath, there's too much beauty out there but it depends on how you view it of course. I'm just as happy feeding strays as I am with my family, close friends, travelling or other hobbies. Personally I always believed in fate and I count my blessings because I got lucky with many things. I want to go out with a smile regardless of what may be thrown at me in the future. There are tons of inspirational people who went through hell but kept their composure, happiness and love for life intact yet I don't have their terrible experiences.

@disfiguredyoungman glad you're still here bro and I hope you get your happiness one day.

I'm sure much of what I wrote some may find utterly useless especially the ones who go on various autistic like forums, but this is my opinion and how I live my life. Happiness is as much of a choice as misery in many cases.

here's my change
I was always a sarcastic, semi mean, condescending, bitter, egotistical, angry and jealous person. Difference was women though I was hot so I got away with it so long as I gave my "serial killer" smile (as my buddy coined) and they even thought my negativity was cute and funny. It was always sort of my shtick.
I started losing my hair and then became a sarcastic, semi mean, condescending, bitter, egotistical, angry and jealous person and women just thought I was a bad person cause I was no longer attractive.

so basically the only thing that changed was my appearance and there in the perception being good looking or not gives off to people.

I don't treat anyone bad, in fact I'm treating them better. I am depressed, and I've gotten stingy with my money.
