Look, you're not the first one pretending that he had an epiphany and that telling us we're all morons for caring about our hair loss.
I don't pretend I have all the answers, but I firmly believe that your discourse is pure delusion. You can't escape reality.
You can pretend you have found the light and that all of a sudden "hair doesn't matter", the truth will come back to you, and with a vengeance.
We've all had moments like these, especially when we were sinking in desperation. "Screw it, I don't care about hair, hair is nothing!"
Then a few weeks later, we come to our senses: "Who am I kidding? Hair is important for a man, and there's no other way to look at it."
Yesssssssss! I had moments like this when i was your age. Definitely! But now it's other story, they got fewer and fewer until complete "remission".
No, delusion is something like this "omg, i don't have a full head, i'm diffused/receded/bald crown, i look in the mirror at 15 minutes, and feel miserable, and i am depressed, and ...and...and. I get suicidal thoughts, i want th cure now or feel i'll jump from a building" (it's full of this on this site).
Coming to reality is something like this: "What the fvck, there are bald men everywhere, let me just buzz my hair short so it looks best possible, and let's get over and go on with my life. How stupid was i for obsessing for some stupid hairs so much years?Omg what a moron i was, haaaa. And, look at it, buzzed/shaved, it doesn't look bad at all. "
That means "coming to reality". I know, when we're very young we feel that we will be immortal, that whole world must be at our feet, that we must look perfect, but guess what, nature is very imperfect and,,,bad luck or else, we were not given good hair genes. But what should we do now? Live a ****ty life constantly bothered by our hair, or accept it, do whatever we can in order to compensate, and get over?
First choice means immaturity, second means maturity.
Have in mind this is just MY OPINION. I understand and respect yours, but i don't adhere to it.
You said above, that when your hair grows, sometimes it looks crappy and you shave it. I bet you'll come to my conclusion soon.
And, i NEVER said "i don't care". Why are you putting words into my mouth?
If i was not to care i wouldn't buzz it in order to look best and cleanest possible. But, i buzz it, and here ends my misery.
You know how liberated was i when i first buzzed it some 4 years ago? Going from some wispy diffused top, i looked in the mirror everyday, i even was sleeping without a pillow for my hair to not mess around during the night(how stupid, yes). For a good year i was just sleping on my back, because if laying on the side it would ruin my styled hair, for which i was spending some good mins after shower. Imagine that, and then, i buzzed it, and practically felt i was born again. No more styling, no more problems.
