Your posts make me sad when you write openly like this, especially since I got to know you more over PM. I sometimes think of the forum and this section in particular when I am out and about during my day/night. It is true about full hair privilege. A few days back was another day I thought of this section. I went out to a big club and I probably knew about 30 people in there since it was a work orientated but with a ton of locals. I really had a good time. Not only with all the people I knew in there but a lot of new random people. A lot of them added me on facebook and I ended up going to different bars. I felt socially valued even though I am now in my 30s and at an event like this with young locals. Sure I don't look it, but generally hair is very important and attractive is attractive regardless. And that's where I thought of this forum - take away the thick hair and the reality would be different. It's not about pulling it off, it would just take away a lot and I would be a standard guy at best in real life and a nobody in a club like this.
Hair loss is scary.
Agustin you should try to celebrate holiday periods, fight that depression, even if it's a few hours of joy, better than zero. But I know you like your hiking and other ways of therapy too. Your hair may be below average for your age but you're far from bald looking: enjoy and adapt. You could look into concealers too.
Hey Wolf Pack, thanks for the sympathy.
Hair privilege is a totally real thing that exists. I've been thinking about a lot of different but simple things lately, like why some people get to live a life on God mode while others live nothing but a life of pure struggles and suffering. It's probably a question that will remain unexplained to us for as long as we live as a species. What is social acceptance like? Social value has become something rather superficial to me, I yearned for it growing up but haven't cared about it for a while now. I no longer look for anyone's approval out in the real world. I'm glad it went so well for you at the club, attractive is attractive indeed, and looking good not only leads to feeling good but also
thinking good. And it really is never about pulling it off, it's always about looks as constantly talked about on here. Looks has always been critically important since the beginning of time, but I do strongly feel that the focus of it these days has gotten way out of hand, likes it's become an unhealthy obsession now.
In short, life is too random.
I'm not so much into Halloween like I used to be, I guess I should become enthusiastic about it again. I've still got interest in Thanksgiving and Christmas! Last year, I actually had one of the best Thanksgivings in my life, so that's something positive to think about, and I'll be doing it again like I did before! For Christmas, perhaps I should take on the challenge for doing something new.
My hair is staying as it is, I don't try to hide my alopecia. For months, I'm still considering on adding Finasteride but need to take the plunge already. I just started a new technique on how I apply Minoxidil to my scalp and will be seeing how it goes.
