'Reclusion is peace.'

What Norwood are you and how old are you? If you're young and above NW4 or if you are a diffusing NW3+, you did good. You avoided embarrassing yourself and your friends with your pitiful appearance. People feel better when there isn't baldie around reminding them how they will look like in 30 years. Find peace in study and reading.

You might benefit from changing your beliefs, values and mind set towards yourself.

Those self-destructive thoughts are going to leave you in a very lonely spiral of depression, and anxiety.


We get it, baldness sucks! But limiting yourself from social contact, and isolation is a bad choice.


Relations with people happens to be the biggest contributor towards being happy. People often ponder the idea of what defines success, and happiness it a precursor towards being successful. Studies have shown that people who have successful relationships (family, friends, girlfriends) with people are at there most happiest.


Did you know self-focus is one the biggest causes for anxiety, and depression. It's one thing to have self-awareness, but to loathe in self-focus over baldness contentiously as the escape goat for everything you do is going to cause big problems in the long run. it's unfortunate that baldness put's us in this state, but its also of equal importance to go out about your daily living.

Shook sounds like you been doing some reading on "self help". Now only if you can follow your own advice.:D

I am starting to realize how powerful our beliefs, thought patterns and mindsets are towards our emotions & sense of well being.


refuse to take anxiety medications without covering all grounds of counselling, and reading books.


Unfortunately years of negative thoughts, and poisonous thought patterns cannot be cured over night.




First step - Surgery (cover physical grounds, and low self-esteem provoked by certain features.

Second step - Knowledge, insight, and counselling



I am confident that I can over come this without being dependent on drugs. After all, drugs are simply a short term cope. Eventually people need to come off, and face reality. that is an inevitable structure, and part of rehabilitation which people seem to forget.

Not sure how bad the OP's hair is, but if it isn't that bad then night is exactly when you want to go out. At night you at least have a chance to conceal your balding. Better than going out during the day time when the sun can easily expose any thinning.

You're right shook, I was particularly down when I wrote that post.

I agree with shookwun and other posters about having a positive mindset and all. I'm actually in a bad situation than almost everyone here. It's been a decade since I starting losing my hair and I started young, that's before I turned 14. So I don't fit well at all in my social group. I'm an anxious person to begin with and having to live with a painful nasty Finasteride induced dermatitis on the top of all that is a serious challenge. I'd love to become a hat prisoner and go out but this dermatitis won't let anything touch my scalp.

Thanks for the replies guys.

This is important our minds are plastic, negative circular thoughts need to be avoided to lead lives that have worth in happiness. People who really are your friends will see past all the social connotations of male pattern baldness that are discussed in the impacts section. I've forced myself to dissociate my self worth with my hair, yeah it get's you down but it shouldn't stop you from reaching out to people or living your life.

That does sound incredibly hard man i started at16/17 and even that was brutal. How often do you avoid social situations or doing things you like because of your condition?

And those who post "positive posts" like that are all good-looking, tall, muscular and with decent hair. What a surprise. Just compare shookwun's of fred's old posts to the current ones. They realized they are above average, they exploited their potential to get better and improve, and suddenly everything is awesome. :D
I think because the majority of people in the world are average then just by making some initial effort they can go from a 5 to a 6 or a 6 to a 7 and that can make a world of difference in the dating field.

From anecdotal evidence we can see average looking men killing it in the dating market - and because MOST men are able to be average there is a strong reason to be positive for the them.

There will always be a niche bottom group who cannot improve but they are just that - a niche. We cannot cater our advice for that little niche group alone - we aim advice at the middle and by far the largest group - the normal average brigade.

Hate to say it but their is a lot of truth to what Dante is saying.
You need that foundation. If you don't have it then it's all an uphill battle.

You've become so much more red pill lately, don't you admit?

You used to be a bit white knight and positive. Now the only 'nice' thing you do is defend fatties - that's your only weakness - if someone says landwhales you lost it ( I don't use the term myself - its just an example)
