When You're Out In Public And You Hear..

[Goldee Lox]

People laughing, do you ever automatically assume that they're laughing at you? I do, all the time.. Sometimes they're probably not, but a lot of times I feel like they are. I work retail, so I'm constantly around people. Makes me want a job where I'm not so much in the public eye :/

 

[Baldingat188]

Yea I feel that way a lot of the time. Being around people all the time sucks

I do always feel like people are looking down on me though or making fun of me like you said with the laughing. Lifetime of bad experiences will do that to you

See if I said this to my psychologist, he would say its psychosis

A few weeks ago I walked into a bar and a guy screamed "Skinhead". Cue laughing. I'm powerless, I can only try to pretend nothing bothers me.

I question the veracity of this story. It's too Fred-like.

Please don't start making up anecdotes on the spot like he does.
One Fred is enough for this forum.

It happens very often, mostly because most of the time they ARE laughing at me. I look like Gollum, so it's hardly a surprise. A few weeks ago I walked into a bar and a guy screamed "Skinhead". Cue laughing. I'm powerless, I can only try to pretend nothing bothers me.

Why the f*** you went to the bar in your condition?

 

[CopeForLife]

Because I'm not a hikikomori? Also, I wanted an Espresso. Luckily it's winter now, I can wear hats and comfortable clothes, so I don't appear skinny nor bald.

Oh I supposed you went to the bar like this:

To grab a few glasses of beer and get the chick into your apartments.

This incident didn't happen, CFL.
Please, don't be so gullible.

 

[blackg]

Sure, I simply enjoy making up things and being miserable..

We all know this.

I can relate to this.. not the psychologist part though. Just telling people things about myself that I know to be true and they saying it's all in my head. The younger me believed them.. the present version of myself trusts his instincts much MUCH more.

Italy must be a real sh*t place, Dante, if things like this keep happening to you.

I'm skinny, pale, with a wierdly shaped head, awful facial features and Norwood 4, with buzzed hair (1mm). I simply look ridiculous, if not hideous, I would be mocked just anywhere.

Hahahahahahhaahahahahaha
Mr 'positive' here

Go to the north of England where loads of people are bald by choice because it makes them look tough

 

[winnyblues]

What if you don't look tough but pathetic bald, like I don't know 90% of bald men. What do you do then?

Dunno m8 go down to your local hardware store and buy some cement to harden the f*** up

It can happen.

Even in my home country society where perception of balding is fine (was fine, before tinder/instagram era) it was ok to compare shaved person to skinhead. Or criminal. Or prisoner.

And all you can respond is "H-h-ha yes. H-heh."

You can't even respond, just pretend you didn't hear.

I found out that one of my closest friend NW0 (I have only two) is balding and he isn't aware...

He starts from the vertex and a little bit temples.

I think he should be aware eventually, I will tell him when will be 100% sure that he is balding.

I talked before that while we were drinking with one of my friends we started to talk about balding and it went clear that it bother him a lot. Maybe even stronger than me. He is NW4 with NW7 patern.

I read him a lecture about minoxidil and finasteride he brought min immediately and finasteride a month or so ago.

He praised me a few times after and very grateful that I did aware him about hairloss solution... He didn't catch any sides on finasteride his libido has even increased (and before it was high as f***). He told that his hair is growing a little.

He is more confident now.

 

[winnyblues]

And then what? You'll still be rejected by women, you'll still be mocked by society, you'll still have it harder to find a job...

"Just man up!" and then what? Everything stays the same. No one gives a f*** about you harding the f*** up.

M8 its a joke
Mr serious over here
You and dante are a sorry pair of individuals

When are you going to stay back at the mental institution btw?

I was diagnosed with psychosis when I first explained I was losing my hair. They thought a woman couldn't possibly go bald, so it must be psychosis, right? Later I was even put on medication for schizophrenia, because they thought it was all in my head. I hate how they are so quick to put a diagnosis on you.

around 8 months ago when I first really became aware of my hair loss I was seeing a few therapist , mostly for anxeity. When I tried to explain about hair loss no one really believed me. I also recall one of them saying , "dont you think thats kind of vain?"

lol...

If a therapist did actually say this then he or she should lose their licence.
