Going bald.

I know this might not be too much of a help to someone in your situation, but that's really not how it works. You either are confident or you aren't. Real confidence comes from within. Confidence that is solely based on merit or other external factors is doomed to fail you sooner or later.

 

Um… what?
Since when can't you have a social life with a bald head?
Is there a law that says, "Bald people can't have a social life"?
What an odd idea!
You might as well ask how you keep a social life without a jacket. It doesn't make sense.

I've been bald for years. I shave my head every day so that what little hair I have left doesn't look messy.

Google "bald heads" and look at the images. You might be a little shocked as to how many famous and successful people have shaved heads. Even many people who aren't bald often shave their heads just to look bald.

 

If you are really bothered by it you could try hair transplantation. Surgeons made a lot of progress the last 15 years and it's socially acceptable as more and more famous people admitted doing it.

The only problem: you need around 10.000 $ and at least 35 years of age for good results.

 

Hey bud, I know how painful it is 'cause I too suffer from the same. I used to have the most sense hairline in my family. When I was exposed to pmo, my baldness got triggered (my father's trait). Well I didn't know that pmo could leave me this much miserable and eventually found that pmo causes the hairfall (how dumb) just few years before. Iam not completely bald but losing at a worst rate. Btw iam just 19 and using minoxidil to cope up with. Just saying you're not alone

 

You have some serious issues, my friend.

Self-consciousness is something that you can work on.

• Do only things that you are proud of doing (even if they're small things) so that you can be proud of everything that you do. In other words, never do something shameful.
• Do your best at everything that you try, within the limits of your skills, time and resources, even when you aren't good at them.
• Never judge others, so that you don't judge yourself.

That way, you never have to worry about what other people think of you, because you are who you are.

Someone once told me something, and it took a while for me to understand, but I truly realise its truth now:

"What other people think of you is none of your business!"

These will go a long way to removing self-consciousness.

Shame?
Shame?
Really?
Shame is for people who do bad things. Rape, murder, paedophilia, politics, stealing, fraud, etc.
Not for being born with a condition!

Would you tell someone born without an arm to be ashamed?
Or a person with acne to be ashamed?
Or a person with premature grey hair to be ashamed?

I hope not.
So why are you telling yourself to be ashamed of being bald?

Let me tell you this…

When a person makes fun of someone else for any reason whatsoever, that says a heck of a lot about the person making fun, and nothing at all about the person being made fun of. Bullies are cowards, and I don't listen to cowards. Period.

If someone is so stupid, insecure and cowardly as to make fun of something that you just happen to be born with, treat them like an irritating buzz in the background — ignore them. (Or, to use modern parlance, blank them.) That's what I do. I have no friends at all who do that sort of shit (a bit of male friendly teasing banter excepted, but all men do that), and I don't tolerate cowards who do that shit.

Do you have a serious illness?

 

Why would they lie about it? There's a lot of stories of people doing nofap with no knowledge or intention of stopping hair loss or getting hair growth yet they notice that their shedding stops on abstinence or gets worse on binges. This is something i noticed myself too.

But it simply makes no sense for dozens/hundreds of different people to lie about it in different threads over the course of months/years.

The theoretical connection of hair/sex function is there since Propecia, the (most powerful but also dangerous) med that is used to halt hair loss and get regrowth was initially used on enlarged PROSTATE. The hair connection was accidentally discovered.

 

I feels ya guy, I just got home from the barber, every damn haircut nowadays shows a bit more of my hairline ran away... Something I think about tho, my pops has wildly thick hair and the same hairline he had as a kid, and he used to grow it out and take good care of it and all that. However the only way I remember him is bald because he's been shaving it all off for the last two decades. The only time he's mentioned much to me about his hair was years ago when I asked him why he started shaving his head... He said somethin about after my sister dying he realized more important shit to worry about... So whenever I start a melodramatic conversation in my head about my runaway hairs, I try to think of what the fuck actually matters to me enough to make my receding hairline seem meaningless... Today that was the fact that I have a day off today and I haven't had a panic attack or urges to drink or cut myself even tho I'm sober as fuuuuck, I'm finally writing some real shit for this english class and it feel like a mental orgasm, I've got fresh venison defrosting in the fridge for dinner and I'm planning a thing for me and a few friends I haven't seen for like four years to do this spring together so fuck you golden-locked society I've got other shit to make me happy

 

This doesnt invalidate what dozens of people corroborated. Maybe in your case it does not work but i think you may be doing something wrong.

I would get hair loss, greasy scalp and itching even if i did not pmo but got sexually aroused alone and entertained those fantasies and kept an erection going.

 

It has nothing to do with semen retention since so many men have sex regularly but do not get bald.

It probably has something to do with a kind of sexual arousal and edging even without ejaculation.

You can be negative as much as you want but it will get you nowhere. So many people noticed a connection and Propecia is the proof that there is a connection between sexual arousal, prostate and hair loss.

 

@Infrasapiens thanks, best of luck
