i'm a heavily diffuse NW3 now and i will have to shave it all off in 2 years. How do i come out to my family and the people i know? This is what scares me the most tbh. The shame, the embarrassment and the awkwardness associated with rapidly going bald before 25 years old. Especially since the entirety of my family are perma fullheads who can't understand how baldness feels like. I don't want to be looked at with pity and disgust like i'm a freak or a creepy leper who's hideous to look at

I sometimes wish if my family and the people i know would disappear (fucked up i know), just so that i can go bald in peace and not worry anymore. I don't really care what strangers think about me and women can f*** off. But knowing that the people i know will have to watch me suddenly turn into a creepy baldie before their eyes and how i will be viewed by them is crushing me on the inside


I feel like i want to crawl into a hole and be left alone forever

A sticky situation for anyone to try and give advice on to somebody else, we all defeat our inner demons differently.
Your right about your family being ignorant to what it's like they will never understand. I experienced this with my own mother who used to act like balding was getting a bad hair cut LOL.

It's going to be hard the first day you shave it, friends an families make jokes at your expense but the 2nd and 3rd day they stop caring. The more you own it the less people try to talk sh*t about you, If you see friends who only know the You with hair - laugh with them if they joke about it, their opinions mean f*** all to you an they WILL sense that.

You know, if your family doesn't have your back when you lose your hair they are not really your homies to begin with and their unreliability would rear up sooner or later anyways.
