I wish I had no insecurities like you.

Some women have left me and they stated this as the reason: "You are insecure (about your hair loss)"

But of course, they have 0 insecurities. They are these perfect human beings.

Again jumps to some ridiculous conclusion such as me having no insecurities, can't defend himself so turns into a victim, all smoke and mirrors with no substance, all a big waste of time. Complete change of topic based on a tedious link, the word "insecure" to some bullshit life experience in an effort to avoid what I wrote.

You made some sh*t analogy that actually proved my point that anyone who takes the time to research and think about how baldness affects people can have an opinion.

You just cry like a child when that opinion doesn't suit yours, if I was an Norwood-1 who lectured people on how baldness is worse than cancer and 100% of women subconsciously want to stomp on every single bald man's head, you'd be congratulating me as a full head with "realist" truthful viewpoints. Because I know that life is more complicated than that (and so do you) you can't allow someone who's NW2 to have a viewpoint.

It's like the lamest attempt at censorship you could ever come across.

Can I personally pay your shrink to do marathon sessions just to keep your brain off of here?

They're all from winnyblues. Maybe one or two are "legit".

He got a warning from the mods so he stopped.

I can't believe he spent all that time disliking your posts when you actually have to wait over 3000 seconds between each "dislike". That must've taken him a pretty long time...

She knows me better than anyone, and she would tell you I'm perfectly sane.

Minus the damage walking around with a NW5 in my early twenties has done to my brain.

Not everyone has had the chance to have lived his youth with a NW1-3.

We'll never be the same we were before our hair loss. I think it's impossible to go through baldness (young) without being mentally scarred (for life).

Life is not complicated at all.

But it seems you like to make things complicated.

Being bald in 2016 = you will not live a fulfilling life, absolutely no way around it.

Baldness affects everyone the same because no matter your level of attractiveness, you'll still be the bald guy.

All bald men will be insecure about it, because someone doesn't decide if it affects him or not, since other people do the judgement.

And the judgment is always the same, it's always negative, and it will affect the guy's life negatively.

See? Not complicated, very simple. Any attempt at rationalizing is cope.

You can say the same about height, facial attractiveness, wealth, body shape. So unless you are 6ff+, lean, NW1 with model face and good income, you can't live a fulfilling life? You have to play the cards you are dealt. Being tall and attractive with hairloss is better than being ugly or short. If you were a NW1 and 5 ft 6 you would be on a short men forum saying the same stuff.

Even "mild", <NW3 baldness leaves its mark. You stop thinking of yourself as a young, careless person. Now all of a sudden, your youth is being taken away from you every single day. You start to realize your own mortality, and worry about issues no person of your age should ever be worrying about. Thinking about the purpose of life, dying, what the hell is even left for you on this Earth, and things like that.
The change in mindset as a result of baldness, between the years of 19 and 24, were probably as big for me as between 10 and 16. You really just can't stay the same person.

I'm an old soul as well. I've gone through way more sh*t than anyone I know that's my age or younger. Baldness did this to me, as well as my other issues. Hell, baldness actually put me in a mental institution. It has ruined 4 years of my life now, and continues to be a daily struggle.

Here's the good news:

Histogen is aiming for a late 2017 / early 2018 release (thats relatively soon). Shortly after that, Follica is planning a release in 2018 as well. In 2019, you might see Replicel get released. Around that time, you could see Samumed's treatment get a commercial release as well. And after that in around 2020 or a little later, you'll likely get the holy grail treatment from Tsuji in Japan.

It's actually going to be exciting because pretty much every year we're going to get a new treatment to fight this sh*t.

If any of those will ACTUALLY regrow a decent amount of hair, it would be amazing. But I'm prepared to be dissapointed, yet again. Nevertheless it's exciting that it seems like we're at least moving in the right direction with treatments.

Well there's so much coming through in those 3 years, at least one of them has to work to some degree at least. Plus, compounding...

I'm pretty excited... every year a new treatment with a different angle at tackling hair loss? Hell yeah.

Just lol @ fighting "middle-aged crisis" at 20-24 years old... When I was at school I thought it will be nearly at 40 years old... And balding... I thought happens after 40 with a very few people. I never went out to "party" or "club" with full head of hair NEVER styled my hair before date/going out because I didn't have anything to style from the beginning of my life.

And when you are 20 with NW3.5 and people tell you that you look 30-35 and look like an ex-prisoner (every prisoner in my country should buzzcut or shaving in jail) with my 0.00001 buzzcut......... This life.

IMO a lot of people here don't want to play the cards they were dealt, there's very little discussion of how to maximize your yield, it's mostly a heavy focus on whining and people wishing they had more. Some posters actively and violently resent the idea that they should try at life and dismiss the will to live as "coping", it's some sort of psychosis.

Hellouser, I usually find any silver lining that's there to be found but I have to say that none of the shorter-term companies you mentioned have publicized any news that leads me to believe that they have a revolutionary treatment coming soon.

1. Histogen's results look OK but nothing to get excited about. They only showed one pic of great results and that one pic has serious angle and position problems.

2. Follica is not saying much of anything and they have not publicized any great pics that I'm aware of.

3. Replicel has already released some study results and they were dismal. Unless Replical has augmented their technolology it looks like sh!t.

4. Samumed results are inclusive because the treatment was only applied for a few months and we don't know if the progress will continue after 3 months. It may not.


I agree with you that Dr. Tsuji will save the day for us all but his technology is probably at least 5 years away.

Sorry. I wish I could be more optimistic for the short-term but I just don't see a reason for short-term optimism. I hope I'm wrong.

This resonated with me.

As Joan would say about me, I'm an old soul.

Hair loss also ages you mentally.

That's why I also say, when people say I'm a little immature because I like to laugh:

"I'm more mature than anyone you know." I don't explain why, but I firmly believe this.

I have almost a split personality now. Like you I like to laugh and joke all the time, but I am incredibly depressed every other part of the day.
