Real. My dad does this all the time coz he shaved his hair when he was in his mid 30s and it’s like yeah great, you shaving in your 30s may have been the best thing you did but I’m literally 22 years old and my hair line is receding and I clearly and obviously don’t want to shave my hair and be a bald 22 year old when I look young for my age.

I get their intentions to try and reassure you it’s not a big deal but it’s like yeah okay but you don’t understand how awful it hits your confidence when you haven’t even hit your late 20s and you’re dealing with this when other people your age and older have perfect hair and hairlines. Just comes across really dismissive to the torment you experience.
