Some more positivity

[g.i joey]

well dannyboy and augustin, i can't deny that virtually everyone gets denigrated for something at some point in their lives. that much is obviously true.

but the point still stands that it's hard to accept always being an uglier version of yourself . . . . i really do think it lowers you like 2 points on average.

i just hate the idea of not being able to get cute girls anymore, its natural to want an attractive girl. i was already a skinny nerd before, it feels hopeless nowadays, i needed hair to be within cute girls leagues.

then there's the identity issue as well

this and the fact that we watch ourselvces degrade into a balding man, if we were born bald and just grew up bald well then coping with it is alot easier because that was always your image.

big ears, big nose etc are generally stuff we have learned to live with and are born with, so by the time we reach 20-30s most of the shaming doesnt mean **** anymore, but going bald throughout your life and seeing your whole image change, the image you created and felt comfortable in for X amount of years makes it alot harder than just being born bald.

related . . .. . . look at how unaesthetic and nerdy these guys are . . . . . . yet STILL that one bald guy there is at the bottom of the totem pole x.x

i was like the skinny nerd in the front with hair before baldness . . . .

Of course baldness is a big deal for me and I am not even far on the scale. I see it as a disfigurement, loss of identity and attraction. It doesn't bother me if I looked "okay" shaved. If i was the last living thing on the planet I would still take finasteride. If I had 3 months to live I would still take finasteride. If the shaved look was obsessed over by girls I would still take finasteride. Get my point?

But I am a minority in that sense. The majority of male pattern baldness sufferers don't treat their hair loss either. My cousin is your typical bald guy. He is in his late 30s now. He hated losing his hair, he tried a few things but it was too aggressive. He has accepted it now completely, it doesn't worry him. That doesn't mean he wouldn't have his original hair back but he has learnt to live with it just fine. That's your typical bald guy IMO. He knows he looks less good i'm sure but he has never commented on discrimination. I walk him with him to places a lot and I don't see any weird looks at him.

We can't say we represent your average male pattern baldness person on this forum of all places.

Personally I think dannyboy injects a bit of normality on this board. He is not a deluded slybaldguy but your typical male pattern baldness sufferer I feel. As Agustin says you can be positive and be bald, it doesn't have anything to do with delusion/fixing. Again, many on this forum can't be like that but doesn't mean others can't.

I do go to slybaldguys at times, you be surprised by who used to worry etc there, some go there who worry, honestly hang there for a abit, it honestly isnt that bad, the ones who been there for a while are like me, moved on, dont worry anymore etc. And your cousin has also just moved on, good for him, im similar to him, but i just worried i would be dissed by people, i didnt care i was losing hair, once i had the "**** it" mindset, i stopped caring what others thought, cause even before hairloss its what i did, it truely set me free for future criticism.

And for the record i dont see baldness as a big deal FOR ME, i want to make that clear, FOR ME. Even as a kid, maybe cause i grew up with a bald uncle, and liking bald people on tv, and just seeing it everywhere dont know but i just dont.

Dont you care that you are permanently uglier though?

No, considering people "thought" i was before my baldness anyway, it gets to the point you simply just dont give a damn anymore.

Yes, exactly Wolf Pack. I've stated in my posts before that if any normal man who is bald/balding could have the option to have their original full head of hair again, they would choose to do so than to stay with where they're at. With the typical male pattern baldness sufferer which I also feel DannyBoyy is, at first when he started losing hair, he absolutely hated it. Though for him, after a couple of years, he came to terms with it and recovered from the trauma of male pattern baldness. Now if any man who is bald/balding says that they never cared, then they're clearly straight out lying.

It's encouraging to know that your cousin hasn't commented on discrimination and that when you walk with him to places, he doesn't get any weird looks at him. :sun:

So yes, like DannyBoyy stated before, getting disrespected about something for whatever reason is just a part of life everyone experiences, and there's no way of avoiding that. And with positivity, it's just so one's self doesn't feel too bad suffering with hair loss, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Here's a good example I've seen you give before and that you follow Wolf Pack; it's when someone spots your male pattern baldness, you can think "No! They see I have baldness!" or "Well yes, I have Male Pattern baldness, though isn't that bad at all and my hair is doing better being of Finasteride." It's a neutral perspective, simple as that.

It wasnt really the male pattern baldness i hated though (i never wanted the horseshoe look but i thought i could just shave it) it was what i "thought" what was gonna happen to me, i was still at school i was 16 when it started so you could imagine what my already bullies would of done, but at this point it was so "small" it wasnt noticeable, i wasnt hiding my baldness cause i wanted hair, i was hiding so people wouldnt diss me, or look at me and think why its happening at such age. I didnt want to be bullied, questioned, looked at, i saw my reflection about two years later, saw the stupid attempt at hiding it, i hated what i had become someone who is hiding, basically thought enough is enough and never looked back since, and started to secretly like the attention at the fact that im young and balding since it "shouldnt happen etc"

Why im here trying to "plant" seeds to try and get people to move on with life at least, not saying you got to love it, but accept it at least you got to live life, no ifs or buts or what he or she says, you just have to, will be easy? obviously not but you got to try, dont waste time like i did its never worth it. Hair transplant or not, whatever you got to try and live while you can, Some how, but you got to.

Exactly. The same way if I see someone quite visibly bald, I don't think he is strange or something. It's quite normal to see.

I always find that the most positive people tend to be the people with the least amount of hair loss. Since they have such minimal hair loss, they are not going to have their outer looks disfigured nearly as much as a person who is an NW6. Nobody is going to refer to an NW2 as a "baldie" yet the same cannot be said for an NW6. Therefore, the NW2 person is much more likely to have a sunny disposition because they have not truly suffered the devastating effects of baldness nearly as much as the NW6 person.

truth

But actually danny is bald

 

[Exodus2011]

Until I see him post pictures, I won't just take his word for it. He may be a slightly diffuse NW4 who thinks he's bald.

Perhaps. Post some pics danny boy!

The pipes are calling!

 

[Agustin Araujo]

Yes DannyBoyy, posting pics showing the state of your hair would be nice. No pressure though.

Of course the most positive people tend to have mops of hair on their head, especially if they never suffered from genetic hair loss in their teen's or twenty's.
