I Can't Deal With Being 5'6 And Receding Anymore?

[Feelsbadman]

I understand that there are thousands of people out there who are worse off than me but for some reason that doesn't take away the pain.

I just can't handle being short AND having receding hair.

I can't get over it. I feel like absolute chit and extremely depressed. I didn't ask to be born so why was i sentenced to a life of torment?

How can i accept who i am?

I know how you feel. I am 5'7" and a Norwood 3 at 21. I know how bad it feels to be balding and short. I know what it feels like to be living in torment. Over the summer I was admitted to the psychiatric ward of a hospital for 10 days due to extreme depression and anxiety, some of which had to do with my hair loss. I am on antidepressants now and I am mostly okay. I know it sounds cliche but you just got to hold in there, and know that your worth as a person is not determined by your hair and is so much more than your hair.

Hey man, thanks for your post, it pains me to know that others like you are experiencing similar feelings to me. I'm thinking about starting anti depressants too

Do not overthink.
Try to live normal life .Stay away depressive people.
There is no point in living with depressive thoughts as it doesn't provide any solution.
Don't destroy your inner peace.

I'm 5"6 , 19 and diffuse thinning . Talk about some sh*t genetics. Yea man it sucks , I guess I'm gonna be trying to gymcel to cope. Maybe get a wig once it's bad enough but it pains me every day to wake up and the first thing I think about is my sh*t genetics.

I'm also 5'6 balding. Just give up on women and LDAR.

Become gay is the only cope

Being tall and bald isn't much better unless you want to adopt a trashy "badass" look.

Im so sorry you are struggling.

You have to trust in yourself, inner strength, and finding solutions that work

I dont think 5'6 will hold you back too much

But you probably do need a hair transplant or a piece, give yourself what i call a fighting chance

Women dont give a sh*t if ur ugly and LDAR in their mind its good riddance it really is brutal

Let's say a bro was to go the gay cope route, does the brah assume the dominate top role? Don't think I could handle a stretched butt hole.

Gays can just be just as brutal as women when it comes to one’s physical appearance - if not more so. They’re still men at the end of their day, even if they do engage in unclean sex acts.

because of being 5'6 and bald i'm so far down the rabbit hole its not even funny lol. i honestly kinda sorta feel like i dont really love anyone anymore. all i think about when i'm around others is how i'm inferior. pretty much ruins any sort of pleasure from relationships i get

considering good relationships has a HUGE correlation with happiness thats probably actually one of the main miserable aspects of baldness

 

[MorningGlory]

As to the OP, you’ve been dealt a sh*t hand. Short men hate life even with hair. There’s a short middle aged man with great hair at work and he hates 33 year old NW3 me because I’m much taller than him. I take great pleasure in blanking him (looking over him) when he wants negative validation through me returning his basic, unreconstructed neanderthal stare when we pass in the office.

Yea definitely . It's not really gay then if your the top

Yes, it most likely will, especially when combined with balding and/or other major genetic flaws. Doesn't mean life is over, just that he'll have to work that much harder to succeed in life. It's brutal but let's face it, the genetically blessed generally have a way easier life than the genetically flawed.
When it comes to women - yes, bald and short will hold you back. Doesn't mean no woman would go near a short and bald man, but it is certainly a lot easier in general for a tall(ish) and/or (borderline)fullhead man to attract women, at least women of quality.
Life can be brutal, but let's not sugarcoat things. My advice would be focusing on staying sane and taking care of your mental and physical health, setting realistic goals for your professional and personal life and work towards those. Getting some hobbies, a pet, joining a club, whatever to keep you busy. Then, just hope that things fall into place eventually.
