I am uglier than you, especially when I shave my head, which I've done for years. It is not easy, it is not pretty, but hair loss is not as bad as you are making it out to be. You are not doomed to be ugly/disfigured if you're bald, but you will need to alter other aspects of your appearance, it is a big deal.

Additionally, why not let the meds do their job and get a transplant when the time comes? Many people here fight hair loss effectively. Follow their lead, do what you can, and stop torturing yourself. I am not trying to sugarcoat anything for you.


I am hoping the meds do their job but I do not have much faith because hair loss is so aggressive in my genetics. So far I have been on finasteride for 8 month with no improvement ( I believe it is getting slightly worse) but hard to tell. I am thinking of switching to duta because I don't want to take any chances. Sure the side affects suck, but it beats killing myself. I would love to do a transplant but I am mostly a diffuse thinner, and my hair loss is not advanced enough for a transplant yet

you have same face pattern as kit harington from game of thrones

remove hair = death

I dont think I am even close to as good looking as that dude but still, I agree he would not look good without hair either. Such a cruel fate to not only having this at a young age but also be the type of person that can't pull it off at all

its Friday night and I'm sitting around taking pictures of my hair ... I honestly can't believe that hairloss is happening to me. Whenever I look at the pics I just want to kill myself because the way I see it there is no life worth living as a bald version of myself. The only reason I still go about my daily life and don't completely shut down are because I cope by thinking that finasteride will save me ( or if not I will switch to duta) or that a cure will come out. But that's really it , I am afraid once I am bald I won't be able to function in society.

I don't think My suicidal thoughts are even anything that I can fix. Most of the problems I struggle with are genetic curses ( baldness being the biggest one) . I envy people who are depressed due to breakups , or other random issues. I have many flaws and I believe over time I could accept some, but I will never able to accept this curse. I would love to be good looking more then anything . But at least if I don't get to be good looking I would like to at least look normal and unforantley due to hairloss ( having a weird head shape , face that doesn't suit baldness) I can't look normal like that.

Hairloss is such a surreal thing ( in a bad way) for a young person to have. I just can't believe it's happening it is the worst thing. Latley I have been obsessing about it which is why I am posting this. Some days I just cope by putting on a hat and telling myself a cure is coming , but I'm really gonna end up killing myself over this. I keep having a image in my head of me in the future , completely bald and putting a gun to my head. And obviously I feel a lot of shame about this so I can't say anything about this to people in real life...

No matter how hard life gets, suicide is never the answer! You're on this planet once and if you were to take that away.. there's no coming back. You need to look and feel things from another person's perspective to realise that you're life isn't all that bad. I know it doesn't feel that way but there are people your age who are tragically dying of illnesses, born into poverty where their quality of life is instantly and forever going to be restricted. There are also individuals on this planet who don't have families, food and even water. I know we asses each and every problem based on our own lives but you need to open your eyes and see the bigger picture to understand that you're not so bad off after all.

In regards to your hair loss.. depending on the current aggressiveness of it, you'll likely never see the day you go fully bald. We have options that give us the opportunity to maintain and regain our hair, so even if you were to experience male pattern baldness, you'll likely slow it down and prevent it for many years to come. By that point they'll probably be some new form of state of the art technology or treatment available to the public.

Hey man I'm feeling the same as you right now. I constantly take pics of my hair, sometimes I just wanna rage and destroy my phone because of how I looks. I can't envision myself being bald on top of all my other physical ailments. Guess I'll be browsing r/incels and lookism all night with some good ole whiskey, that's how I'll cope.

Yea sometimes my obsession with hairloss is really bad and sometimes I'm able to distract myself . But over all it's hard to forget completely when I know that my life will end up being ruined by it. I don't even envision is a good future for myself because of this dissase

lol as someone already bald it kinda makes you want to live even more. the thought of dying and my only taste of existence is being subhuman norwood 6 trash? lmfao thats unbearable. better to keep going, just for the chance of it being cured or SOMEHOW being able to live again as a worthwhile person. whether thats virtual reality, better hair transplants, cure, whatever

It's your life, you're the one feeling the shitty pain of it. Take a second and think for the most good decision you could take now. Even if it's suicide, then go for it.

You really need help, why are you encouraging an 18 year old kid to kill himself, how f*****g low do you have to go?
So, do i tell him to carry on living when his life is complete sh*t ? It's easy to tell him "keep on living" "everything is going to be alright bro" when it's more likely isn't. I didn't encourage him, he has a choice after all. I'm 18, short and balding exactly like him, so i feel his pain and shitty life. If i had the balls i would commit suicide, that's why i haven't done it yet. Why the f*** should he suffers another 60 years of misery and pain and loneliness and for what ? It's normies like you who need help. You would rather see a person suffers a shitty life of pain to feel good about yourselves that you did something good. It's easy when you don't know sh*t about his life and it's not affecting you after all. If your pet suffered from a fatal disease, would you be able to see it suffer instead of ending it's pain ?

It's ok I don't plan to kill myself anytime soon really. I'm going to give medications a fair shot , it's more of something I see myself doing 10 years down the road or so when I'm bald and there is no other option to get back my hair.

Latley I've been copping by thinking I will get a hair piece if I reach that point. Maybe get ripped and get tattoos lol... but not for the usual reason aka pulling off the bald look. No, I want to get ripped and tattoos AND wear a hair piece so I can be at my physical peak. It's mostly just cope but still, I want to just evolve myself to be physically better and make the most out of my sh*t genes cause I sure as hell lost the genetic lottery. The least I can do is try to age well by being in great shape and hair piece prisoner. Idk if I would be able to deal with wearing one , but it would probly be worth a try before I end my life. I do know one thing though , there is no way I'm walking around with a nw5+. I'll be some kind of prisoner one way or another , whether that's hair piece or hat.

Being short and balding at a young age is just so ridiculous lol. I was reading about height and read that over all taller people are smarter because being tall is a sign of good genes .... Jesus man can it get any worse. How are we supposed to go around living a happy life being sub humans? My genetic curses go on also , bald and short are not the only ones, although they are pretty damn bad ones.

I've been on finasteride for 8 months and minoxidil for a year and a half. Haven't had any regrowth but my hairloss does seem to be going slowly , which is good I guess but I would really love regrowth.

But hell yea I'm on the big 3 lol, hair is everything to me. I even almost want to get on Duta because hairloss is so prominent in my family I am not sure if finasteride will be enough to save me.

I feel you. I'm 5'7 with short limbs and midget physique. Some people told me that my body looks weird and that i look like a rat. I'm the shortest one with the shittiest physique of my friends (They're all 5'10+). I'm also the only one balding among them (all NW0 with the thickest hair imaginable). Going out with them is a mental torture tbh. I don't think tall people are smarter, but they pretty much have 10x better lives than us.

I'm literally so jealous of over weight people with otherwise good genetics . I would be hitting the gym everyday if I was 6"2 full head and over weight. They can just become studs if they put in some effort. No matter what effort I put in I'll still be bald and 5"6. Sure I can get a 6 PAC if I want , but I'll still be freaking bald and 5"6!!

I don't even want to be 6', just being 5'10-5'11 with decent physique would make my life a THOUSAND times better. I also need hair, not even very thick, but hair that i won't lose. I swear to god that i'm ready to sacrifice my left arm to get hair and 3 or 4 more inches of height. But being short, balding at 18 years old is f*****g misery.

Leave them alone with their shitty morals and principles. I see nothing wrong with suicide if your life is complete sh*t and there's no hope. Why the f*** should anyone suffers a lifetime of loneliness and pain and for what purpose ?
