I started balding heavily at 18. This completely devastated my ability to progress in life. Eventually last year at 26 years old I got an SMP tatto which gives me the illusion of a youthful hairline when I shave my head. This has been radically life changing in terms of my self image, but the damage is already too severe for me to make up.
I am now 27. I will never be in "young love". I will never have flings with a bunch of cute young girls. I will never known the tension of the will-they-or-wont-they dynamic, the slow turn from friends to exploring each other. I never got to feel properly young, cool, hip. I was so ashamed that I hid away from the world as much as possible. I hated how much older I looked than everyone around me. And now it is all gone. I cant get that time back. I will never get over the lack of youthful adventure. Balding ruined my life.

No one understands how devastating this is. No one.

I understand how you feel. I noticed this feeling of powerlessness combined with the idea of "having missed out" on something now unreachable is often the root of the deep seated resentment towards a completely arbitrary group of people (who have pretty much nothing to do with your problem and have their own troubles) that is required in the making of a truly memorable mass muderer or school shooter. Have any of these things crossed your mind before?

I went on finasteride at the same age, as well as minoxidil. Still was balding. If you have a Norwood 6/7 father, there is really no stopping it in my opinion. At best you slow it down.

What is the point in looking good if not for sexual gratification
