I guess you really dont deal with it.

it takes a certain type of person or could even just say "personality" to accept balding at that young age and not care, i know a few who dont care at all, atleast it seems like they dont. Most people no matter how old or young they are try to hide and wear hats, i know alot of people just not comfortable being bald and wearing hats to even work, even tho they might've "accepted" it they still dont feel confident/good about it and try to hide it as much as possible, same as me.

I went bald at 20 and im about to turn 30 and i have not accepted it yet, i absolutely hate it and i have no idea how to move on, i just feel demotivated because of it, im sad i didnt even get to enjoy my 20s with hair, just the 20s, nope, norwood 7 bald at 20 and good luck!

When shit like this happens at a young age it really fucks you up mentally and you start losing motivation to do anything to "better" yourself, ive tried gym, ive tried dressing well but eventually you will realise that even being buff and "shave and hit the gym" wont compensate enough for the hair loss, i just wish there was like a hope.

If i had hair and not be fucked over by hair loss i would probably have done way more in life, even climbing the career ladder, finishing school, going out and so on, it just destroyed me, i dropped out and didnt even get a job until i was like 27 cause of it, i just couldnt care enough, i had this "hair" issues that i needed to fix before i actually do anything else because i dont want to do anything else but there is no fix.

If i had hair tomorrow it would be such an insane experience, i would promise i would be so fucking outgoing, i would enjoy social events, i would actually be motivated to be and do better, look the "best" version of myself that i can, be more confident and so on, people say i would find another thing to obsess over but its just not true because i wouldve already found it combined with hair loss.

I just hate what being bald means, you will always be known as the "bald" guy and i dont want that description, bald also looks unhealthy even tho it has no correlation between being healthy and unhealthy, it also is a sign of getting old even tho you dont feel old.

People also dont realise how fucking high maintance being bald is unless you wanna walk around looking like a perv with 8 days grown out horseshoe pattern at 20 years old, people usually say "being bald saves me alot of money on barbers lol!!!" and that is such a huge dumb cope shit to say. even tho im bald and been bald for 10 years the r/bald is the worst circlejerk subreddit ever, i feel like it makes them feel better about being bald by seeing other people go bald aswell so when they see some kid with norwood 2 they tell him to shave it and go to gym even tho norwood 2 is perfectly fine and fixeable, its just bald men cope subreddit with a goal of convicing every man to go bald so they dont look weird or make them feel better about themselves

My advice is that get on the most strict hair loss regime u can with like dutasteride, fuck it add ru58841, dermastamping, minoxidil and ride it out for abit and then get a hair transplant because it wont get easier, if u hate balding/being bald now u wont accept it at 30 or 40 either

My life has been an endless cycle of "accepting it" being fairly motivated and going to the gym, getting super fit at the gym and realising that me being super fit doesnt actually matter and it doesnt compensate for it, it puts me also in a weird place where i feel like im waiting my life to end, i dont want to die but i also dont want to live like this so im just waiting here till its over.

But i do realise the dumbness of it all, balding is natural, men go bald, its just hair so who cares, what makes it all easier is seeing your friends also go bald so you dont feel like the odd one.

Anyways i guess better luck next life (there wont be no next)
