i feel the same way as gunner does. i remember when i had lots of thick hair and could do anything with it. i feel that unless you are just ugly, that hair and hair style is the biggest thing to make or break your appearance even if you have a full head of hair. i let my hairloss take over my life because i am a vain person and i fear that people who found me attractive, wont anymore. i am receiding slightly, but i have a small head, so the ammount of forehead on one person looks different on another. with very short hair it looks like the front and temples have gone back like a christopher walken do. i am diffusely thinning all over the top, but with enough product i can hide it. i have been on treatments for a while that havent helped at all. my mom and sister tell me i have lots of hair, but they dont understand that my hairstyle options are becoming limited because im afraid to shave, and i dont like the size of my head, so i try to manage these flaps of hair that just want to lay flat. also, i am 20, but i look very young, and probably will the rest of my life. i feel my hair wont fit my face and my youthfull appearance.
its like i know that people are out there with worse situations, and i know that if it didnt bother me it wouldnt bother them, but i cant seem to convince myself that i look ok. i have been in to talk about transplants, and doctors look at me like im crazy, but i feel that the only remedy is a permanent one that will take my worry off of losing hair in certain places. so i must wait and hope that nobody notices that im going bald.
but i think the part that everyone seems to fear the most is that the people who saw you before, will see a much different looking you. and i feel that what bothers me the most is that the people who knew me with tons of hair will see that i am starting to bald, and that embarrases me. that "did you know that ____ is going bald"?? from people who havent seen me in a while. it will bother me when i cant get that look back from a nice looking girl, and the phone calls stop coming from women wanting to do things with a good looking guy. im not into shallow girls, but it was nice to have them look as if to say they liked what they saw. with a bad head and an unattractive hairline, will they still think the same?? its the rejection based on appearance that is scary for most going through this. the only thing we have to really look forward to is that we arent there so we really dont know how its going to be.
