I'm only 18 and I am not a depressed person now, because if I were I would admit it to people I don't know than people I do I bet (I know that sounds weird) because currently I kind of do have a lot going for me with good friends, Uni and etc. But in the last year or so my hairline has been fucked up to put it blunt. Now I seem to have as much hair as I have ever had before but If i pull my hair back I have a VERY receded hairline. and even receded hairline guys have a better side hairline then me, mine instead of being up then right if you're looking at the side of a guys head does a diagonal line going backwards if that makes sense to you, its worse now because I can style it at one point to hide it but if theres wind or such it can change it and I notice later I have been showing it to the world :(, I could stick it down with hair product and stiffen it but that could make me lose hair. (Like I say I don't think I'm losing hair, I just think my hairline changed and that's it, not many people in my family is bald besides an uncle on my fathers side) NOTE: what pisses me off as well is lucky guys who have a bald dad but have a great hairline at my age.
If I don't lose any hair then I guess I'll be fine with it, because I've said if I had a good hairline I wouldnt care about going bald about 50 (My Dad has said the same, and hes 48 and has a better sidehairline then me and he has a kind of V line but has a wider V hairline than what you might picture). I already have trouble with girls atm, never having a gf or losing my virginity (which I was laughed at my 2 friends yesterday, even though one is a slut (shes a girl) and the other lost his to a g/f who does not look like much if im being honest)
But If I do lose my hair, I'd be sad and pissed because in my life I've had challenges like any human but although I'm mad at my self for thinking this because I'm a catholic (not a devout one but I have my beliefs) and I know there are people A LOT worse off than me I feel God has done wrong by me.
Because:
-I had epilepsy at childhood
-I had autism and aspergers at childhood (Now that could be being even for whats happened, considering I literally grew out of a 'lifelong' condition.
-I have had eczema for as long as I can remember
-I have worn glasses since 8 years old
-My penis and testicles arent exactly impressive when flaccid (sorry about this people if you find this offensive, this is a teen forum though)
-I have a slightly droopy eyelid, which begs the question could I not wear glasses without looking like a fool.
-I'm only 5'10
-I used to be overweight/obese, now its under order but I'm still not in perfect shape. I can't even run across the block because I think I have asthma again (oh yea had that as a child)
So yeah thats about it, and I havent had a girlfriend yet, so if I lost my hair, I have no clue what I would do. I would lose the 50% confidence I have with talking to them (I'm better at talking when I've been drinking). And I remember at 14, the day my friends said stick your hair up it'll look good (my hairline obviously was great then) and I did it and I was like wow, I look so much better. And I did it almost everyday from 14-17 until this happened. Now I can't do it because it shows a receding hairline, so I kept it down like a bad Zac Efron cut lol. So if my hair was taking away from me I don't know what I would do. Now my parents have said I shouldn't be worried because my 20 year old brother and Dad have a receding hairline (which is true but it does not like as bad as mine), and im 50% confident I won't lose my hair but if I did it would hurt a lot. Now currently, I don't need any counselling I know that, infact I'm happy I let it all out, all my frustations if not just on a forum. But is there any way to fix my hairline? I'm guessing not all the 'proven' ways either look expensive, lifelong (that would make me feel worse having to start at 18), or just scams. The thing is I know if I shaved my hair it would look a hell of a lot worse. Looks like I'm in a catch 22.
Oh and I know you're thinking I look hideous, but I've had some compliments to how I've looked, and I think I look okay (yeh I know I'm not Brad Pitt) and I look probably 6/7 out of 10 depending how I feel and look. A hot girl said I looked 'beautiful' at graduation in my suit so I know I'm damn sure not ugly, but if I was bald I would look ugly and have no confidence which would make it worse.
Sorry for the essay, but like I said I needed to let it out. Thanks :)
