How Do You Get Over The Fact That You Are A Genetic Anomaly That Doesn't Look Like 95 Percent

[The Baldy Man]

of the people your age? Honestly it is just depressing as f*** to be a diffuse NW3 21 year old in college. I know it could be worse I could be totally bald but honestly it just seeing people my age "triggers" me because they all have super duper thick NW1 pompadours and long flowing locks and I am engaged in a battle to the death with the Norwood reaper to protect as many strands as I can to have a combover that can cover my scalp. It makes me as depressed AF all the time. It's really hard for me to have "muh confidence" when I look so much older than what I am and am reminded of that every time I see one of my classmates. Luckily nobody has been mean to me about my receding hairline, I think I would break down crying on the spot if somebody said something. But I KNOW they stare.

So how do you guys cope? Do you just try to ignore it or keep yourself so busy you can't think?

 

[The Baldy Man]

i tell myself they dont care which isnt completely wrong
most people seem to think diffuse hairloss all over your scalp just means you're having a bad hair day

I ALSO have a receded *** NW3 hairline and a big forehead though. I am receding AND diffusing. I am going to be super duper bald soon. Yeah I mean they probably don't care about you really, but I feel like a damn clown or a zoo animal or a train wreck that people can't help but stare at.

Luckily I haven't been bald shamed yet, at least not to my face, but I know that people are staring at me and not saying anything because they want to be polite.

At 45, you don't feel like an anomaly anymore. But I can tell you it is very very hard to think of when you were 20 and you were the real anomaly. I still dream about it

I will forever thank the founders of this damn site. I would be so alone in my pain if there wasn't HairLossTalk.com.

I bet by the time I am 45 they will have finally f*****g figured out hair multiplication and I will be able to afford to get the hair I should have now, but alas I will be an oldcel by then, having spent the younger years of my life where hair actually matters as a member of the Norwood Death Club.

@The Baldy Man I feel your pain dude, i am 20 and a NW2.5. I am not diffuse though but i think my crown is starting to thin, only minor right now. Finasteride has worsened my situation and now im trying all sorts of treatments. For us, i think if we want to have success or at least maintain we have to go hard on the treatments. Im also on 10mg oral min ED, but i will also add estradiol if i cant regrow or maintain in a few months ( im a straight man ) For us its only a matter of how bad you want hair and what you are willing to do to get it. I hope for your success, i hate hair loss so much

 

[The Baldy Man]

Coming from an attractive dude, that surely means a lot.

Nobody looks attractive balding. At least not as attractive as they would look with a full head of hair. Having good looks can't take away from the fact that you are f*****g anomaly that sticks out like a sore bald thumb for everyone to gawk at, like someone you would see on one of those embarrassing bodies TLC reality shows. Everybody at uni has hair and even if I hit the gym and lookmaxxed in every other department, it still couldn't take away the fact that I was the only balding college student in a room full of fullheads.

 

[The Baldy Man]

The worst part of it for me is the loss of identity. "I" was a person who had long thick hair. I don't know this person I see in the mirror now that looks like me but has a diffused NW3. Sometimes I wake up at night in cold sweats and freak out about becoming balder. I have mental issues, OCD, anxiety, and depression as well, which have been made worse by my hair situation. I feel constantly uncomfortable about the fact that I am balding, a fact I cannot escape even for one second and it is extremely hard to have confidence in light of that. Bear, you are an inspiration for going through that. I hope I can make it through too. I am going to start begging my parents to help me save money for a FUE.

Spill some Hennessy for the true veterans of plugs, and drugs.

 

[Dante92]

Thank you. No matter how good-looking you are (which I am not)

Bullshit, all who saw you can confirm that.

 

[AnxiousAndy]

@Dante92 have you ever considered unconventional treatments?

 

[AnxiousAndy]

@Dante92 And why wouldn't they? Im not talking about experimental treatments per say, i was meaning things like loniten, Aldactone, Androcur etc?
Sure they may cause side effects but you wouldn't know unless you tried. Not everybody who tried these things got side effects. If finasteride and minoxidil is not working for you then that would put you in the minority, well whats to say you wont be in the minority again and not suffer side effects? I know this is controversial but you are not out of options.

 

[GornMyson]

It's not an easy life and I've strayed off course a few times but I'm trying not to focus on it as obsessively and gain discipline and hopefully a fue will bring back some sanity.

Plus it helps that a lot of fullheads are genetic trash where I live that helps keep me some what sane at least for right now. Everyday is a battle.

 

[The Baldy Man]

Dante, if it makes you feel better there is no way you look worse than me. I have the worst ever head shape and facial features for balding. I will look like a bald *** alien or a Hills Have Eyes mutant when I go bald.

I always look in the mirror and remind myself, I am old. Compared to a twenty year old, I look really old and ugly.

Compared to other guys my age, I am average looking.

Compared to seventy year old , I am an over the hill male gigolo
