What Was Your Life Like Before Hair Loss?

[tracker54]

Went through some old pictures, and it hit me so hard. 6-7 years ago I had a full head of hair (NW0), jacked and lean. Life was good.

Then 2-3 years ago, I went through a rough patch in my life. Lots of work-related stress. Stopped going to the gym gained 40 lbs, went from NW0 to NW3A, stopped socializing (other than when drinking), stopped progressing/stagnated in life.

Apparently friends said to my ex "[my name] used to look so happy, smiled all the time. What has happened?". My ex was great, nothing wrong there, but we just drifted apart, and had to move different places for work. I went into the relationship as a jacked NW0, went out of it as a Chubby NW3A.

I look through my old pictures, and think "Damn, I used to look young and good".

My only saving grace is to jump on the juice, and get swole. Unless some miracle comes along, and transforms me back to a Norwood 0 or 1.

sorry to hear that. sometimes the universe only grants us an eye blink of happiness before it takes it away. then we have to be strong enough to hold our breath and hang on through the shitty times.

i was pretty attractive before hair loss. looked like keanu reeves with a stronger jaw. i really developed physically in my early 20s, but had a shitty personality. had issues with anger and narcissism. when that started to dissipate, hair loss came almost immediately to balance things out and make sure that i continue to have no chance at happiness.

so i guess i never really had a real, authentic life. i had the potential to grow into one, but hair loss took it away before i could live it. maybe in the next life then.

Everything was easier. From girls to any other social interaction, when you have hair it's all easy. The most tragic thing is that I didn't even realize it. Now that I'm struggling every day with the social hardship that hair loss in young age brings along, I understand what old people mean with 'my best years'. It's all over now, at 21. What a sad state of affairs.

My life sucked. I spent most of my teen years living in a world of anxiety with hardly any friends

But then something happened. I matured and I was able to "defeat" my anxiety. For about 2 months I was in a good state of mind

Then I discovered I had hairloss and my life was ruined once again.

Same here man. I was so socially incompetent as a teenager... I still have my share of anxiety but at least I can talk to people and hold a normal conversation.

Manlet also , but always had great hair growing up. Granted I was obbsesive about it even before I had hairloss. I would always check it in the mirror , comb it , stay inside if I got a bad hair cut. And because of my obsessive tendencies with hair it makes it 10 times worse to suffer from hairloss.

I feel like I'm one of the worst people for hairloss to happen to

 

[CopeForLife]

I got hairloss since I hit puberty

hence, nothing to report

 

[GornMyson]

My life had barely started when I started balding at 18 but I cherish yet regert the years I lived in combover denial

Literally this for me.

As good as the internet is for are balding struggle, having a "safe place", how many of you as I do regret wasting your young teenage years on the internet, gaming and fapping and things of that nature ?

 

[GornMyson]

I don't regret anything. I never had a choice, my genes chose for me and condemned me. I am not at fault, and this place la my only safe haven.

I have no regrets as such because unfortunately I was raised by god awful parents In what has been voted numerous times as the worst city in England so I didn't know much better but I wish during that 13-19 range I'd of spent it down the woods creating fires etc etc just general youth things which is being robbed from modern kids, instead of roaming the internet aimlessley and playing xbox even though at the time I enjoyed it.

 

[GornMyson]

my life was terrible before hairloss. I was constantly stalked by groups of girls to the point i couldn't be out in public without getting harassed or some random girl grabbing my *** or giving me her number. It was exhausting
Now it's much better because i can just disappear in a crowd because nooone gives a sh*t about bald/ugly people

You must of been a GOD with hair at 6'5 I can't even fathom it

 

[GornMyson]

yep, those were different times
now, not so much

but as bad as it is, at least i don't waste my time thinking about women or having a relationship/getting married, etc - in a way it is more peaceful

Maybe one day in the future I'll think about women again but right now I just can't, last week I watched the mcgregor fight In the casino and this cute chick clearly liked my face was recording me the whole 9 but I was already on the down hill slide with the alcohol so didn't bother to talk but so guy came over and said this chick has been taking pics and recording you all night exchange numbers so ok we did, When the fight ended and I'm in the UK so it was light outside and I could see the disgust in her face when she noticed my hair in the light, it was over from that point on and I can't even be bother to be bothered by incidents like that anymore. Fue or two and hope for a better life that's all I can focus on and gaining knowledge and discipline

To be fair your mind could be playing tricks on you. You are so disgusted by your own hair, that you project that into the belief that she would be too. Then the slightest variance in her look will make you think she's disgusted by your hair.

You never know, she could be disgusted by your face in the light too.

My face emits a golden glow in the light, so that's impossible. Jokes aside I have had a outbreak of spots recently so maybe but she didn't look as good in the light either or on facebook search, I was at least 17 beers and mixers deep by the end of the night which also could of been part of the problem

how are you still alive

how are you still alive

The baldness mutation inside of him kept him alive so he could live to be tortured another day.

 

[GornMyson]

how are you still alive

I'm a quarter Irish which is also where I get my balding from... but I'm never sick and don't get hangovers but I may from time to time embarrass myself and have to go to sober up for a few days...... f*** balding man..... I would'nt be able to withstand this Hunter S. Thompson-esque punishment If I wasn't balding. In the words of Pinocchio I wanna be a real boy...

 

[GornMyson]

plus alcoholism is in the blood, my dad used to pick me up when I was a kid and I've have stella in my lap open for when he was ready to sip and more in the foot well in the car.... as earlier as 10 I remember that.... my grandad got done for drinking driving and said his name was Mickey Mouse. being 25 also helps....

I wish i could of been raised by a normal non balding family
