Young Baldies Have No Place In This World.

[Stanx22]

Before saying anything, i want to apologize to some people here because i was a bit of a dick recently. I was immature and bitchy and i'm done now.

I'm not going to talk about women and lookism sh*t in this thread. Actually, i'm tired of talking about this stuff and i don't think i'm going to talk about it ever again. I just need to vent. I made some friends recently and have been hanging out with them and they have been treating me well and i really enjoy their company. I thought it was a good opportunity to get out of the sh*t hole i always stay in and enjoy some social life. Everything was great until today one of them noticed my baldness and made fun of it (older than me by 3 years) and it has ruined my mood. I know that he wasn't serious because he doesn't know the pain of going bald, so i'm actually not mad at him. But it still hurts when someone who is about to graduate university makes fun of high school teenager's baldness. I'm now depressed again and obsessed, insecure about my hair whenever i'm around people. It sucks and hurts so much. It's like i'm trapped, either i stay and rot in my room until i die or go out and watch much older people making fun of my hair whenever they notice it. It's extremely painful to be balding as a teenager.

First of all, you're a 17 year-old heterosexual male, so you will again think and talk about women in your life.

Second, with respect to your "friend", he's being a dick and may not know better. I'm sorry that happened to you and it really sucks. I dealt with a ton of bullying when I was your age, people commented on everything from my looks to my social skills to my family to my religion, and there wasn't necessarily anything I could do. It was very painful, and it usually is and that's normal. It's normal to be affected by these things.

I hope that you can find a good treatment for your hair, and find other things you're good at. In the meantime, your friend is 20, he himself might go bald in a few years. Karma's not an actual thing in the world, but sometimes bad things do happen to bad people.

He actually has slightly thin hair with little receding. I don't know if he'll ever go bald and i don't wish for him this awful fate. He's actually ironic when he makes fun of anyone. He made fun of my short height before when he is short himself. I didn't want to respond or get mad because if i had responded, i would have looked insecure and he would have taken my baldness more sarcastically and would have continued to make fun of it. He is actually a good guy, but he doesn't have filter and he doesn't think before he speaks.

When I got bald shamed in my mid-20's that was an extremely shitty feeling, so I can only imagine the pain of a being a teenager and experiencing that

I understand mate. Post-bald-shaming shame is one of the worst feelings I have ever experienced.
It's a mix of shame, self pity, anger, sadness, self hate, hopelessness and impotence. When it happens I am left baffled and unable to respond.
It ruins my day with 100% probability and makes me hate life.

Vent here balding brother. I have to say sorry for my abusive posts about your faith and ethnicity.
Before being a Christian European, I am a young bald brother to you, and we both go through difficult times because of this disease.

I think the only salvation for you young guys under 25 is that there will likely be a cure before you are 30.

Imagine going bald 30 years ago before finasteride and minoxidil, and before concealers and hair transplants.

 

[Saurabhaj]

Hairloss problems are not understandable to even the grownups who thinks its just hair and shut down our problems.
Its not fault of your friend that he don't understand this.

You should explain him how difficult hairloss is for looks or leave that friend.
I am sure next time he won't say that.


Even if mocks your hair in person,not near public,take it sportingly.Find his problem and mock him too in a sporting manner.


You know,there are more idiots on this planet who will blindly assume every young bald man is in his 30s or 40s even when that person has a face of 25 year old.

I think the amount of teenager baldness wasn't much common back then. It is only now becoming an issue. Like I said in another thread I saw a guy who is probably 17-18 going with a wig to uni. I felt very sorry for the guy, but I could only tell its a wig because his hair didn't move like the others' in the wind.

No I think people have lost their hair in their early 20s for hundreds of years.

 

[Stanx22]

Of course not. Why do you think I live as a recluse?

After what happened, i don't want to leave my house again. It's obvious that i'm not meant for social life and having friends.

You have to force yourself out. This is the life of a bald young man. Painful. You shouldn't give up though. I know it's hard but try to go out to socialize at least one-two times per week. If bald shaming happens vent here.

Hair loss and shaming make me lose all the motivation to do anything, it's very hard to force myself out there or do any social activities.
University is going to be a living hell for me. I haven't seen anyone in my life at my age who is balding. I'll literally be the only one in university who is balding or bald. Everyday will be filled with bitterness, depression, shaming. I think when i graduate university, i will be dead inside because of it. Not mentioning that no girl will ever accept me because i look like a 70 years old at 20 and it's embarrassing for young women to date someone like me.

 

[Stanx22]

You are not as ugly, bald and old as I am; I am fucked, but you have a chance. Force yourself to improve and socialize. You have potential, don't waste it.

I'm not getting shamed for just my hair, but my weird, subhuman body as well. I need a new body and hair to be accepted socially and to stand a chance.

I wonder where are those idiots who say looks don't matter in life after reading this.

Just another 5 years, brah.

It's pointless anyways. What's the point of curing my hair in my 30's when my teenage years and 20's were complete sh*t ? Youth is over for me now. I just have to wait until i'm old enough, so people would leave me alone.

There will still be single chicks when you're in your 30's bruh

.....maybe I'm coping because I will be in my 30's very soon

My sex drive would be dead and i'd be dead inside if i ever reached 30. Short height with bald head is a sign that your life is over and your genetics are too inferior to be passed on.

Why would your sex drive be dead? Will still be several years until those test levels really start to drop

I have naturally high testosterone, but my sex drive is extremely weak now even tho i'm 17. Depression kills me from the inside and when you give up on women and don't think about them for a long time, you won't bother having a sex drive.
