I guess I feel kind of the same of Aplunk, except I am still motivated to do some stuff. But sometimes I refuse to go out in public without wearing a baseball cap and whenever I feel someone looking at me, I turn and look at them and I wonder if they are looking at my buzzed head and thinking "hey, that guy's balding".
I was in a restaurant last week with my girlfriend and we passed this table of guys and girls who cracked up right as I passed by. I could almost feel them staring at my hair and they probably continued to laugh about it for awhile afterward.
I have an NW6 teacher who made a remark about my buzz in class IN FRONT OF EVERYONE(so the whole class turned and looked at me), the day after I got it. Something like "Where did all your hair go"? I'm just not sure where to go from here. Obviously I'm staying on the Avodart forever, but I just have to hope that I can get all the hair back that I've lost so I cannot see scalp all over the place. It is really embarrassing and I don't know what I'll do if I become NW7 because am the kind of person that would get devastated over something like that, probably even more than most people who currently are at that stage would.
I decided yesterday that I'm not going to buzz my hair ever again unless I have to. I am letting it grow from here on out. I have been on Avodart for about 3 months and my hair is a quarter inch all over right now, so if it grows at half an inch a month, it will be back to the length it was pre-buzz in about 5 months. The waiting sucks and hopefully people will be able to notice my balding less at 2 and a half inches.
I told my girlfriend about this and she said that the teacher was probably just shocked to see me go from 2 and a half inch hair to half an inch, but I don't agree. She says she can't tell that I'm balding when my hair is buzzed but maybe she is just being nice. She says my hair loss is very minor but I disagree sometimes.
It's just depressing. I'm not letting it affect other parts of my life but I'm an impatient person and the laughs hurt.
Anyway,
Here's pics of my buzz that I took today. I buzzed it to 1/8th of an inch last Sunday so now it's between 1/8th of an inch and 1/4th of an inch. I see all the scalp on top and it makes me sad. Hopefully people will be able to see less scalp when I grow it out to 2.5 inches and up.
It looks like maybe my top is filling in compared to when i first buzzed it a month ago, but maybe not. I would be a lot less depressed if it was. If you look closely in the top two pics I think regrowth can be seen below the hairline:
