Think I Made A Man Realize He Was Balding - By Mistake

[Goofinground]

Yesterday i went to buy my month supply of finasteride (i can only get 1 month a time) from a 24/7 pharmacy, i usually go there by night time so my bald-shame is not quite as bad.
At nightime its often young people behind the counter (students i suppose) and this time it was a young man probably my age (24) rocking his Norwood 2-3.
I show my social security card, and he's asking if i have any questions and if iam satisfied so far, i answer that "its sh*t, but its the only option WE have"
After that he starts blushing (a "f*** is it that noticeble" moment), give me my finasteride, i pay (without a word) and he rushes away from the counter...

I think i delivered an unasked red pill to this dude.... feel so sorry, gonna be akward as f*** next time

Feelsbadman. But maybe he's trying to do something against it now. There is a chance you saved his hair! Haha

Why in this section tho?

 

[Goofinground]

It was actually a mistake - any way to move the thread?

Lol I didn't realize I was balding until I hit NW2.5. Now I look back at pics and I've been in NW2 land for years

Changes your entire perspective on reality the day you realize you have a genetic predisposition for your head to become permanently disfigured

Lots of NW2-3's I know don't seem to realize what's going on, the way they wear their hairlines fully exposed, posting pics on facebook that don't hide it at all...in a way I envy them...but in a way I don't. I'm glad I didn't catch this sh*t any later.

Also, @Admin , can we move this thread to impact?

 

[Goofinground]

well i think this balding curse, make you have realizations all the time - for instance when i browsed through facebook the other day, i realized that my hairline isn't my real problem, ive had a shitty hairline for many years and i hid it with no shame - its the density thats the problem

made it even worse - hence i feel bad for the guy, maybe it wasnt on his mind yet and that is almost as good as not balding imo

The attached pic is 2 years old, back in the bliss days, holy f*** that density

 

[Goofinground]

and yeah @Admin can we move the thread? sorry for the hassle

twinks usually notice themselves balding before they even bald.

Quite the epidemic.



I didn't know I was balding until I looked in the mirror, and seen a full on NW2 at 16. I was in denial for around 1 year until people kept pointing it out at 17. Cruel world we live in.


balding at 20 = privileged.

 

[Goofinground]

People who notice balding in start 20's with a solid norwood 3 (aka the point of no return), properly started balding before their 20's

@shookwun i saw a pic you posted on a thread of your hairline not to long ago, it looked good, has all gone to shits? iam just wondering about the 3000 FUE in your signature?

I think you're okay Goofin. I doubt he even realized it, even if he did you didn't say anything mean.

The guy that cashes me out for my Finasteride script is this guy in his mid 20s (probably 25-26) rocking a thick Norwood 2-2.5.... I wonder if he knows...

 

[Goofinground]

Wonder if he knows you know

guess its part of the Norwood spotting, i often think that people around could be popping finasteride like candy and washing hair in min - without anyone knowing

I mean, this is the protocol many of us follow

 

[IggyPop]

Is it really possible, to become NW2+ and not realize what it is going on? I doubt that......

I didn't fully believe I was balding until I was NW2.5. I've always had a big forehead/high hairline so I'd say I was NW1.5 at my best. Probably a NW2 when I was 18 and even though I pretty much knew I'd go bald eventually (notoriously bad on my Dads side), and yet I still didn't think I was bading. By 22 NW2.5, thin hair and I quite suddenly realised I was balding and realized that I hated this. Now with treatment thankfully I'm NW2, hope to f*** I can keep it at this.

I've been fairly open with my male friends about my balding/treatment. Just in case there are others like me who don't cop on quick enough.

 

[stachu]

They easly know... My pharmaceutist just asked me " Is it working for you? " After when i was to get second pack of finasteride.

Guy was 25 about NW3. I told him a lil novelette about this and left him interested in.

denial is something I have never experienced really , with hair loss or life in general. I tend to get a lot of anxiety so I always assume the worst. and most of the time, the worst comes true so its not a bad way to go about things

it's all an illusion.

my hair is absolute sh*t. diffused all over.

My problem is the caliber of my hair is very fine, and thin that it's impossible to be restored with one transplant. The first transplant covered my ground, but I need to fill in the gaps, and spaces between with another 3000 FUE. The clinic recommended that's what I have done ontop of grafting in additional areas that have thinned.


When I shaved my scalp, I noticed I had diffuse patches all over ontop of having that spacey crater look, where there is holes all over the scalp that need need to be grafted in.

Aren't you a suicide therapist??

Yeah, I'm a bit like you, man.
I was never in denial, in the early days. In fact I probably overplayed how much hair I was loosing!!
During the early stages of my hair loss, the people around me didn't notice I was balding at all. But I sure as hell knew.

In fact, I become accustomed to the reassurances that I wasn't balding.
I don't get that reassurance so much nowadays, hahaha.. especially when I'm out in the wind.
Oh, no!! People are only then too quick to point out my hair loss.
