How should i face my family after going completely bald?

I don't live in the states. In my country and culture you simply can't suddenly cut off contact and leave your family behind because they won't let you do that unless you're planning on never talking to them again. At best you will move out and call/visit them every couple of weeks. But you will have to eventually see them. And right now i'm still one year away from graduation, neither have a job nor money to move out
I will try to delay baldness even for just 3 years until i'm financially able to move out and minimize contact

Don't worry about it bro, you seem to pull off the bald look and since you're like NW3 buzzed with thinning there isn't gonna be much difference from how you look right now.
Have you seen me before or what lol. But yeah i can pull it off quite well. It's not about the look itself as much as how people view the concept of balding at an early age

Just based on what you've told us lol
If you can pull it off you're free from the concept of how people view it imo

I never did. Hat prisoner for over 4 years. Right after I had a bad haircut (bFI have my indoor hat, outdoor hat, sleeping hat, meal time hat... They now know that I'm planning to get a system. Then I'll slowly transition out of the hat.

As for this I can't really say anything because I was scared to come out as a bald guy until like I was like 26 and got my first job

This. Obviously you will go down the social totem pole but people only think of that in terms of where they place themselves

To be fair I was afraid people will laugh at me but I got mostly positive feedback after buzzing it, if you tell your family that premature balding just happened I think they will understand
Lol, I buzzed it once. No one understood except one single balding fella at uni and a bald teacher.
Was called a sicko and a fascist by my family. Literally no support at all.
Girls I used to bang were telling me "I liked you for your hair". I mean, I didn't like those b****s at all but this just gave the whole picture about my future.
One of the worst way to cope is to buzz it off. Unless you are well advanced into norwooding. Don't let your sides and back hair long if you have nothing on top at a young age.

Lmao I have almost nothing left on top, so soon I will be shave it off territory
I feel sorry for you, my family was also skeptical at first, but now they are accustomed to it
I had beautiful blonde thick hair and it was said to be my greatest feature, but even now you can get girls who actually like bald men (no joke I thought it's a shitty cope)
To be fair, when you shave/buzz you have to be confident, it's hard but it's possible
Well, I was trying to look confident of course. But when you're out with your family and they're yelling at you that you have f*****g AIDS or are cancerous.
Not the best way to "look" confident.
I just wish baldness wasn't such a stigma among young men. Like, if only people were more informed. That'd be great. But nope, men cannot unite it seems unlike women who have made up feminism and whatnot. Men are too busy trying to act tough. No time to just tell people that : balding is NATURAL and is worse at a young age
I mean, balding would still suck *** for finding parters. But it would be less bad, I guess

I was open about balding even without diffusing, the stigma is hard but when people ask me why did I buzz I tell them mostly upfront that my hair looked like sh*t and that I am losing it, I am doing my best to help those who are clearly losing their hair and they talk to me to talk about hairloss
My parents thought I look like a criminal or sth, I told them that I am never going to change my mind and they can bug off with their advice to grow out (as if there was anything worth growing out)
