I have just realized today that in the big scheme of things, hair loss is really a minor issue.
I have been suffering from poor health recently, and when your in poor health, you only worry about what really matters, being able to live life with all your limbs, your senses, your organs etc. It really is a blessing when we think about it.
I have down days about my hair loss, sure. But when you are in poor health, or you have another REAL problem, one that actually affects you, not just a vain issue, then you realise how low male pattern baldness is on the scale of problems.
In all honesty - I dont have many problems in my life, I'm only 20, of course I have the problems everyone has, but I have nothing serouis to really sh*t myself about. However I do suffer from depressive episodes, but this is more due to not doing much with my life. hair loss is both a cause and a factor of my depression. I admit that hair loss can understandably be distressing, but when reality hits home, you wouldnt and shouldnt give a sh*t about male pattern baldness.
Most of the worlds population are very poor. They dont have the same standard of living as we do in the west (even though this scale is quite arrogant in some ways - sure, they may want to have enough food and to live in a more hygenic and safe enviroment, but they dont nessacarly aspire to a western 'standard' of living, which many see as gross and gluttonus.) Yet they get by. Real problems are, how am I going to feed my family today? How am I going to cure this disease when there is no medical care ?
hair loss is a problem, but it really is minor - and we all need to wake up and smell the coffee. I bet millions, even billions would swop to have our luxory, free from hunger and poverty. Yet we mill around on these forums - depressed about hair loss. We all need to get a grip.
One last thing - I will concede that my hair loss hasnt gone that far, but the process so far has been traumatic. It has still reduced my attractiveness a few points and has lowered my confidence and self esteem. I will say that perhaps being completely bald will be a bit harder, but tbh, the more your hair loss proceeds, the more you can already come to terms with and visualize complete baldness. Millions of bald people get by, its not like being completely bald is an immiedatte crushing disability.
The main anxiety from male pattern baldness is about the end result - being totally bald. Its not so much the process. So as we know that we will go bald for sure - why bother fretting about it? Instead learn to realise your reality and just look after yourself and work in other areas. No offence to the older guys on this site, but if I am on this site in ten, 20 years to come, I will really be quite ashamed to be honest.
