What Would You Have Done Without Hair Loss Getting In The Way?

[hanginginthewire]

Rows and flows of angel hair
And fullhead castles in the air
And feathered hairstyles everywhere
I've looked at my head that way...

But now my head reflects the sun
It sheds and it sheds on everyone!
So many things I would have done...
But bald got in my way...

I've looked at hair from the bald side now!
From norwood 1
And still somehow
It's hair's illusions I recall
I really don't know if I can take this goddamn crap la la la la

Lol you youngsters likely wont know this song, but the gist remains:

What things has hair loss kept you from? I guess we all know the answers - self confidence, better luck in dating, career path, anyone have anything unique?

definitely cost me a lot. marriage, promotion at work,sporting glory. Travelling the world,friendships..

Pretty much the best things in life.

 

[hanginginthewire]

I weigh about 20lbs more than I should because hair loss makes me stress eat 24/7.

 

[Saurabhaj]

Hairloss has been too damaging for me till i reach 30.
Now i do not care about this hairloss issue even though i lost too many things in my life.

Sad thing is people around me think i fell behind because i was lazy or non intelligent.

Wow

Plus a million

Yes

And you probly allowed them to think that way

You had no choice

 

[Saurabhaj]

Look at the bottom left site(according to medical) or bottom right side side,i have no profile pic.

People are blaming time pass reasons for their failure.

What about those people who don't even had profile pic because they will get mocked because of hair loss or non attractive physical characteristics.

As depressing as hair loss is, I really didn't allow it to prevent me from doing anything... well, one thing and that's Women, and I am grateful for this.

I would of avoided the psychological turmoil I face today.


I was extroverted my entire life, and HAD my first girlfriend and loss at fourteen. Nut by then I started faxing image issues from insults and my own beliefs. The mirror became my enemy as I would always ask myself what world a girl like that want to be with me for. I would recite and reinforce this over and over again before my baldness took over at sixteen. I would manage to meet women but could never date them out of pride and insecurity of exposing my true self. This continued on through out my entire teenage years and early twenties. Had lots of women throw themselves at me but i would not ejaculate further then drunken party hook ups. I could not allow myself to date a women being a nw3 at seventeen. It got to the point where my hat became everything and I revolved all my decisions on the safety of my concealed identity. It really destroyed me until this day, and I am still battling my own identity and worth.


People ask me all the time why I am single? Why is a very handsome guy like you single?

I cannot tell them the truth. Sometimes I look good in the mirror, but lost the time i hate looking at one. But when I take pictures and record myself on video I feel handsome.



I hate the mirror because it's a lie and I cannot get over it.

Privledge

Would go back in time and switch places.

I only hook up with women in fear of being a fraud one day when I get to be ahorseshoe. It's all just meaningless sex for me to feed my ego, as I will not allow anyone to get close to me for I am a true baldite at heart. I could never take being dumped over my lack of follicles.

However I'd like a true relationship with a woman one day.

I can relate all to well. It comes with ups and downs of self worth, wondering if one day we can settle in a comfortable relationship where our partner is truly into us.


Being able to accept your fate and become comfortable around the right one is a day we all would like to experience.

Shook do you think these thoughts will always haunt you? Do you think some day you will overcome them? Or you will always be battling your identity and self worth?

Hair loss made me lose some things, made me gain others.

8 years since my hair loss started impacting my life, the balances is overwhelmingly positive.

I would be a way more mediocre person today if I hadn't experienced aggressive balding at a young age.

For this I am grateful. When you suffer from hair loss, you're not allowed to leave any other area of your life unsorted.

The financial burden is the biggest issue in the long run.

I spent about $11000 on my procedure, one should note that $11000 invested in a top managed fund or high performing index is getting around 15-22% per year over a decade. This means for example that if you had invested that single lump $11000 getting 18% per year compounded you would end up with about $57500 after a decade. Others without shitty genetic issues can invest without having to save and spend on procedures to simply make them appear normal.

The compounded long term returns of looking normal among your early 20s peers is well worth it though.

Being placed in a situation like teenage balding certainly forces a shattering of conventional social understanding about the world and that is the ultimate red pill. I hope I can look back in a decade and find myself positive about these years regarding where they led me.

All women are sl*ts until proven otherwise.

Harsh, but reasonable.

You depressing bastard. But it's so true!

 

[OldnBald]

Not buy as many hats.

 

[shookwun]

You still don't allow yourself to date a woman?

it's complicated.

Shook do you think these thoughts will always haunt you? Do you think some day you will overcome them? Or you will always be battling your identity and self worth?

The desire to be relieved of psychological affliction has been my prime motivation and the only way to relieve psychological distress from a disfigurement or cause for concern is through surgery. My decisions are for a state of change on my life and how I feel about my identity.

its reasonable to believe that afterwards my signals and and responses that I receive back will change also.


personal experience and anecdotes from those such @WhitePolarBear are concrete that drugs don't solve problems and teach skills. this leads me back to my experience with SSRI and realising they are at best placebo for most. seeing as doctors misdiagnose most people when dealing with psychological distress and image related issues. Often over looked as a chemical imbalance, it seems that the most obvious issue is not so obvious to these professionals. Which leaves those who are vulnerable to make rash decisions that are not applicable to there case.



The only worthwhile approach for a psychologist would be CBT and learning techniques to over come certain phobias that are in most cases irrational. But a lot of these anxieties, and depression are often comorbrid related sides from physical insecurities. It's no wonder that SSRI are useless because they dont fix the root of your problem.
