Around last year my mom came up behind me while I was using the computer and said, "Oh my God! You're going bald!" It wasn't really an exclamation, but it sure felt like it. Ever since then, I've been pretty self-conscious about it. There are times when I forget about it, but as soon as I touch my head, I can feel my scalp through my thinning hair and that just irks me. Oh, this happened soon after I turned 20 and I've been steadily losing hair since. I've thought about a couple of options. I'm going to try to accept it and let it be, shave my head, try propecia, maybe a hair transplant, or use some thickening shampoo and see what happens. However, I'm not lucky enough to have a family that has a lot of money, so I don't think I will go for a hair transplant. Plus, I asked my mom if she could help me get Propecia or even American Crew and she said, "It's not that bad now, I'll buy it for you later." But of course, it's not "that bad" for her because she's not the one going through it. I was also considering cutting my hair really short... but then I'm hesitating because I think if I did that, my scalp would be readily visible from my forehead to the crown of my head.
I remember when my hair used to be thick and each strand was strong. When we were kids, we used to pluck a strand of hair and put it up against another kid's to see which one would break and mine would win. Now, the strands are getting so thin that it's probably less than half the thickness that it used to be. I've never had good luck with girls anyway and I'm thinking maybe I'll just focus on my life, family, and friends and if a girl comes into my life, then she does and if not, then oh well. I can't live my life solely on the hopes that I will get with a hot girl. If it is fated that I meet a special woman, then she will probably accept me for who I am, not reject me because I lost hair due to genetics.
