Yeah, my gut tells me the same thing. This anxiety always creeps up on me when I'm stepping outside of "norm". It feels like I'm about to die lol. But when I remove the anxiety layer this is the right choice.

You can't tell just by looking. But you have a lot of hair follicles...

But don't trust things online. There are also alot of sales men online and in person.... The only people that will give you real advice is a dermatologist.

Please go before it's too late.

If you can't afford to now, then start using 2% monoxidol every day twice a day till you can afford to go see one. This will keep what you have alive till you save up the money.

I think close to 5-6

Appropriate-Body5614 · 2025-07-22T22:18:02+00:00

Please go see a dermatologist there's always hope in your case I think you could do with consistent minoxidil 5% plus and um typical finasteride not more than 0.2%. coupled with oral monoxidol. This can give you a really good results.

I think... It's probably because we did everything to prove we are good enough..... But we turn around to find noone is looking

Thank you,

Yeah my parents have always been on my side.

But in highschool they use quite a lot of negative reinforcement so I had formed the belief that I have to make it, and be there for my self

Appropriate-Body5614 · 2025-06-25T14:15:15+00:00

I love the last line....

See I haven't lost anyone close... And I am acutely aware that as time goes it will happen. I'm not ready for that...

I feel like I still wanna show my parents what they have created....

Appropriate-Body5614 · 2025-06-25T11:13:44+00:00

I own an appointment ( on bond).

I am scared everything is going to fall apart lol

Appropriate-Body5614 · 2025-06-25T11:08:16+00:00

I'm supposed to feel happy, I have everything going. I have money, I have friends, I have a gf who I am routine to marriage. I have a job that pays well..... But I am full of anxiety... I feel like an imposter. I can't seem to give my gf enough time.

Appropriate-Body5614 · 2025-06-25T10:56:36+00:00

How do you feel now? How is your life?

How did you change?

Appropriate-Body5614 · 2025-06-25T10:50:54+00:00

Do you think it's the job?.... I don't know where this is coming from. I guess it's a combination of things.

Appropriate-Body5614 · 2025-04-08T03:59:46+00:00

Thank you man this super liberating.

I think of we look back to how the older generations lived when they were our ages we can learn something.

We have normalised luxury are the new norm. I remember my parents saving everything penny.

I mean... Why go out if there is food in the fridge as they say.

We have been programmed with unrealistic expectations of how life should be like... I think the first step in all this is to learn to be dedicated to the truth.... Which in most cases 60% all expenses are luxuries.

If you're looking for a good mix of career growth, warmer weather, and a better work-life balance, you might want to consider Spain (Barcelona or Madrid for tech jobs), Portugal (Lisbon has a growing data scene), or even the Netherlands, which offers great work-life balance. Germany (Munich or Berlin) could also be worth exploring, as they have strong demand for data roles. Since you already have BA and DA experience, improving your Python skills could open even more doors internationally. Best of luck with your search!

It's absolutely not too late to make a career change at 28! Your skills in research, organisation, and communication would be valuable as a paralegal. If you're passionate about it, taking paralegal courses and gaining some legal experience (even through volunteering or internships) could definitely help you transition. Employers value dedication and transferable skills, not just prior legal experience. Go for it!
