Damn, that was more than ten years ago.
As I always say, the damage hair loss does, it's obvious.
We all knew what we were in for from day one.
Yet, you'll see long conversations theorizing about how working on your personality or your body could help, that it's just hair, that people and women don't care etc.
The day you were given your diagnosis, you knew. You knew it was going to be hell, that women would lose interest, that people would see you as less than, that you would have less chance of acing job interviews, that you would suffer from psychological issues because of it, that it would be on your mind all the f-ing time.
Everyone knows this, and everyone dreads hair loss, rightfully so. God I still have flashes of the BS some people have told me: "Maybe you would have to bet everything on your personality now." "Why don't you rock nice hats!" "You don't think other people have problems too?" "You're insecure, that's not attractive, if only you worked on your confidence, women would forget about your lack of hair." etc. etc.
