Title: Hi everyone
Post by: eddieb on September 21, 2008, 11:53:32 AM
Hey everybody, i was reading through the forums today and decided to join, my hairline has started to recede at an alarming rate and i hate it! Just wondering what anyone else who had self esteem issues with going bald did? The thing is i reckon everyone on this looks fine, but im 21 and look really young for my age, coupled this with a balding head and i think it looks stupid :/

Eddie, welcome, you came to the right place.
Balding at a young age, I've struggled with plenty of self esteem issues, and it can be tough - but being a part of a place like this puts everything in perspective.  Hang around here, and I'm sure you will see a lot of people that have gone through the same experiences as you, and have come out just fine.  It may seem cultish when everybody tells you, shave your head!  But it's an exciting thing that changes things up, and you'll be surprised by your boost in confidence.
As far as being bald and young, many people are doing it, and it's not a huge deal.  It may throw some people off, but let's face it, if a young, bald head confuses and surprises someone, they need that variety in their boring life.

eddieb, welcome to the site!  We're here to help.  Many of us started losing our hair in our early twenties and decided to just shave it.  So, I'm sure you'll find guys here with a similar story as yours.  As for me, I wish I would have shaved it when I was 21 as I'm sure I would have had an even easier time getting the chicks.

Just wondering what anyone else who had self esteem issues with going bald did?

I wore a rug for years. Worst decision ever.
I worried more about my head wearing that gross piece-o-doo-doo then ever and I gave up a lot.
No more riding roller coasters, no more being pulled behind a boat in an inter-tube, hell no more swimming in the ocean. Its sucked and it went on for years.

Greatest thing I ever did was go sly.  O0

Eddie, welcome to SBG!  Take it from someone who was in your shoes - embrace it and shave it and you'll feel better about yourself.  You might take some kidding from friends/family at first, but it'll be forgotten quickly and you'll be glad you took things in to your own hand rather than trying to cope with trying to cover up what hairloss/recession you do have.  Spend some time on here man - many members on here have been where you are - and many of us wish we'd shaved sooner.

Hey eddie, welcome to SBG's. As you can see from the posts, many guys have been where you are. The best thing you can do is grab the bull by the horns, so to speak.

Take control of the situation and you'll feel better than ever. You can put one worry behind you, and get on with living and enjoying life.
 
Take it from Kojack, the freedom is exhilarating.     O0

Enjoy the forum, and get it smooth!
