on a scale of 1-10, how much does going bald change one's lifestyle?

Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
Now see, you are already better of than many.
Everyone has problems, be thankful that your are not worse.

Exactly. Anyone can expend this much energy being upset about hair loss is lucky because he must not have any real problems. I'm not saying that hair loss is something you have to like, but it is something you have to learn to live with.

Yep_Yep, I didn't mean to be mean or anything like that. It's just that you seem to be really into something that is more than hair and you aren't able to see that on your own. It's not uncommon to do that, especially when you're as young as you are. You've got a lot going on in your life and except for this you've got the world by the tail. Please, give yourself a break, everyone else is and will--it's just hard for you to see that right now but you will, you really will.

Yeah, thanks to all you guys for support. Anyway, that wiggle your fingers and toes part made me laugh since I only got 9 fingers. That's right, I only got 4 fingers on my right hand. I was born with all 10 but my right thumb just wouldn't develop and it had to be surgered off when I was 4. Now I have my original index finger as thumb. Just one part of the "genetic bullcrap" I was referring to earlier.
Saintc, you were totally right. My problems lie way beneath hairloss. I'm not thinking about suicide or anything like that but sometimes I feel very hopeless.

Oh great, my foot is in my mouth... I apologize.
I did not mean anything by that other than whatever your problems may be and how unsurmountable they appear at times things can always get worse.
I have been through the balding at a young age too and I completely understand the pain it can cause.

These posts have all been pretty good, and I think they are right, it's not so much of a lifestyle change as it is really just an appearance change. However, for the sake of giving you an answer, I'll say it's had a huge impact on me. It hasn't made me more or less qualified for jobs, made me a better hockey player, or put more money in my pocket. It doesn't have those kinds of affects. However, I'm not nervous to walk in front of people anymore, I'm not worried about opening my sunroof and messing my hair up or the little glares that would come sporatically across my head, and when I get out of the pool, I carry my towel and show off my head rather than cover my head up. I gave my first speech since shaving my head in class the other day, and where I used to worry about standing under the light and people noticing what wasnt' there, I now care about making sure my zipper is zipped. I don't really know if this was the type of answer you were looking for, I just wanted to give you a little insight on what it's done for me. I've always been a naturally confident person, shaving my head eliminated my last worry, I feel untouchable now...
