Hello to the community! My story. by Wolf on 22 Dec, 2012 10:51

Hello everyone, I'm a 22 years old and living in Switzerland. I have been lurking this community for a while and thought that I would finally join it today!
Dealing with my hair loss has been a challenging process, particularly since it started prematurely. I first noticed signs of a receding hairline when I was 16/17. The hair loss worsened rapidly and this damaged my self-confidence during my remaining years in high school. I went through around two or three years in which I was extremely resentful towards my hair loss. I felt as if it was 'unjust' or 'unfair' that it would happen at such an early age. It lowered my confidence towards approaching girls and being fulfilled.
After my first year in university I had gained 10kg (around 23 pounds) as well as a rapidly receding hairline. I started reading threads in this forum and it prompted me to make a drastic change in my lifestyle. I went sly and received quite a few compliments that it looked a lot better than before. I started going to the gym regularly and lost all the weight that I had put on over that summer. I went back to college that year with a lot more confidence and had more success with women.
Since then, I've continued to stay sly and working out is a major hobby of mine. I have now accepted that fact that I am bald, and it has become a part of me. I have realised that hair is really not what determines success in life, you can't count on your hair but you can always count on yourself!
Looking forward to being a part of this community!
