Interesting posts Boondock, you basically said what the logical part of me has been saying to myself these last few months when my hairline suddenly became an issue for me. sh*t, 6 months ago I didnt care about my hairline, sure it was receeding. I remember sitting in the barber's as he was cutting my hair and whatever way he combed it when it was wet I remember looking at it and going "sh*t man, you receding, oh well f*** it". All it took was for one person to comment when the wind blew my hair back to show the hairline and say "Wow you going to be horrifically bald one day". He wasnt negative or rude about it, he was just trying to alert me to it but it was the word horrifically that stuck with me and has since sent me on a downward spiral. Since then its become an obsession, I am sure everyone can see it and it makes me paranoid. Haha, they probably can and Im just fooling myself into thinking I have it hidden. Who knows. My point is, ever since then, anyone who looks above my eyes, I assume is looking at my hair and is repulsed by it.
