How do you guys cope with this?
Im 25 years old. I know thats still young but when I was younger, up until about 2 years ago, I felt like I was a decently attractive guy. I would sometimes get attention from women just by being present in a room. I started balding pretty badly and it really didn't bother me too much at first, but I have noticed an IMMENSE difference in how I am treated by people, specifically females. Ive tried going completely bald. I honestly think it looks pretty decent on me, but maybe im just not self aware because it doesn't seem to help in the female department. Anyways, my self esteem is at an all time low, im more depressed than ive ever been, and I am losing motivation to do pretty much everything and I think it is stemming from my balding head. It sucks, because now more than ever I am at a stage in my life where I think I want to find a partner and begin to build a life with someone but I know I cant do that if I have zero self confidence. I know this might seem stupid but im genuinely wondering, how have you guys been able to better cope with this? Is is because im young and it will get easier as I get older? Do you guys at all feel as if you are at a disadvantage in the dating world opposed to men with good hair? I appreciate any advice.
