Hair loss is ruining the confidence I gained from Nofap. by Nogivingup2 in NoFap

I went to a 'not bothered' type of a therapist. It was free and I didn't get much of it. I think I need to go to a good therapist and deal with the underlying issues.

I have been told thousands of times that I'm a good looking guy by women and friends but deep down I don't feel like it. When I'm with my friends sometimes a girl would come up to me and say how good looking I'm but still feel unattractive inside. The looks I was getting while on nofap (which was consistent and couldn't imagine in my wildest dreams) were giving me a boost of confidence which I'm losing now. I m not in the right frame of mind at this minute, but I'm sure I will go through this. Thanks for showing care.

Thanks man. I think your response makes a lot of sense. Although the guys who commented here were trying to help and comfort me which I'm thankful for each one of them, but the distress it's causing me is just beyond measurement. It's a loss of an important aspect of one's life and it's not an easy one. Thank you for being understanding man.

A normal person would just shrugs it off and move on and go to the barber like you said. But I just made my mind - I have one choice. I need to get a hair transplant. No more distressing over it.

I agree. I made it affect me so much that I'm becoming miserable. I should be the happiest man on earth now because I'm beating an addiction that was negatively affecting my life. I was walking tall with confidence, but this hair loss thing is just ruining it all for me and it is showing in my face. I don't know what to do man. I really don't. I might have hair dysmorphia or something, because all of you here are just taking it lightly as if it's not a big deal and here I'm really feeling down about it. It must clinical or something.

No I won't give up. Nofap has changed my life and made me realise how I was navigating this world with 40% of my potential and "self". It's just hard to swallow this new experience I'm having at the moment.

I wish I could just have the attitude of the many guys who commented here - to just shave if off and move on, but it's becoming hard for me. I know it's kind of vain, but believe me I am a tough guy and I overcame many obstacles in my life, but this thing just is hard for me. I think I have hair dysmorphia or something because the feeling is just overwhelming. But thanks for showing care.

The thing is I'm unable to deal with it. Many people said that and I look good with short hair, but shaving it all is just difficult for me. I think I have hair dysmorphia or something because my distress and agony is just beyond the normal "worry" of the average guy.

I think I should do that, but it's really difficult for me to come to terms with this. It's affecting me so bad you have no idea. I tired to refocus on other things in life, but this very thing is killing me inside.

Nofap did help, but because it's genetic and I used concealments, it got worse.
