Dating (and tears)

I just want to share with you all something recent that happened to me. I [26 M] have mild trich that has caused my hairline to recede somewhat, which has caught me off guard when I look in the mirror. It has made social interactions somewhat more interesting as people will assume I'm 10 years more old than I really am, or they will ask why I am having early balding. People close to me have asked if I wanted hair transplants and suggested that they would help me financially. All of this attention combined has led me to wear caps (which on the bright side are colorful) and has made me more self aware when I'm dating or meeting new people.

A guy I've been seeing for a couple months just told me that he feels he's not good enough for me. My eyes teared up because I have been feeling not good enough for him or for anyone for that matter. And for some reason I blame the trich and I hide under my cap. I absolutely started crying some since I never had someone tell me this before. So I explained to him that I'm the one who felt like I wasn't good enough because of the trich. Though I value myself as a person and I know I'm doing good work and all, the trich still gets me at moments like this.

Big hugs for all.
