LOL. Of course there's always someone who's worse off than for example me. Should that make me feel better? Should I feel better that I'm balding and living in our vain western society just because children are starving in Africa? I don't think so.
This quote is the exact reason that things need to be put into perspective occasionally. Until you even realize that perspective matters, you won't feel any better about yourself or your situation (which really isn't s situation at all in my opinion).
Amazing.......

Can't anyone see how flawed a logic there is behind this whole "it could be worse" -thing? How hairloss affects an individual is basically a psychological problem and it doesn't go away like that. It's like saying "it could be worse, you could have cancer" to someone who suffers of schizophrenia. They are completely different things, you can't compare them IMO.

It doesn't go away if you're hell-bent on being negative. You've been a member of this forum for nearly two years -- longer than I have, in fact. Are you any closer to dealing with this "problem" now than you were the day you joined? Where has all the hand-wringing gotten you? If you want to spend years of your life moaning about something so trivial, there's nothing more anyone here can do to help you. -

Yep-Yep....I think you're kinda missing the whole point of this thread.
It isn't about hairloss.. it's about putting things into perspective, realising just how good you've got it compared to others and being grateful for what you do have in life, not what you don't.
So please... explain to me the 'logic' behind self-pity?

Well said Miss Magma. Here's a spin on that. You know the old saying,

it seems that yep-yep's saying would probably be 'when one door closes, so do all the others.'

I second this one Razor.LOL. Of course there's always someone who's worse off than for example me. Should that make me feel better? Should I feel better that I'm balding and living in our vain western society just because children are starving in Africa? I don't think so.
Yes, you should be thanking your lucky stars that you don't have worse problems to deal with.
Do you have any intention of ever putting this "problem" behind you or are you just going to whine and bitch about it forever?

Thank you. It's still a bit of a shock when I first look in the mirror.
