eh just annoyed at how perfect he is, especially because i've been feeling real inferior about my baldness lately.
i think i've realized what zircon was talking about with positive thinking alone not helping at all. someone trash talked my hair and my peace of mind was shattered. my "peace of mind" was really because i live as a fantasy identity that has hair, and the daydream was so built up its almost as if i believed it subconsciously. however, of course the reality is different. once that person reminded me of it it was like waking up from a dream and seeing the thing you had been looking away from
depression is created by a mismatch between environment and expectations. thats why baldness hurts so much, its a tangible thing, it affects your environment by hurting your looks. its not just some expectations issue like with a lot of depressed people.
you can try the slybaldguys "confidence" thing all you want but it doesn't change the REALITY that you are seen as inferior. meanwhile a lot of depressed people just have to change their thoughts and actions, usuallly with CBT. however their reality was always the same
