I know you're trying to come at this from a "things could be worse" perspective but at 23 years old, losing your hair has been traumatic and is pretty much social suicide lol. Life is unfair and I get that but my hair loss will get to a point where I'm going to have to try 10x as hard in terms of making new relationship, progressing in my career, and just making a good overall impression. Pretty privilege is a thing and I'm about to start experience not having it anymore.
And while it is only one factor, it's a big factor when you are 23 years old considering a majority of the men my age have a full head of hair. I credit my obsession over this superficial disease to my perfectionism and the idea that I simply don't want to be the bald guy. I just don't. I'm not ready for it now and I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready for it.
I'm done with posting about my hair loss for now because while it feels good to know that I'm alone, it's not going to change the fact that my life is about to get more difficult.
