I'm 18 years old. I started losing hair at 15. People started commenting on it at 17. Then I started to shed badly at 18. It wasn't 'gone' on the top but it was very thin and it looked like a comb over when I stood in the sun. My hairline was to my ears. So, I shaved it off.

Here I am, 2 months until my 19th birthday and I look like I'm turning 30. I knew that when I made the plunge that I would get some teasing from my male peers. I expected it, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. I'm not being teased I am being bullied and personally attacked. It's hell for me and I feel stressed and upset all the time now.

I know the bald look doesn't suit me. I'm a skinny, pale guy with a huge nose and weak jaw. I look sick without hair.

Girls don't want anything to do with me anymore and I didn't expect that. All over the internet you are re-enforced with the idea that girls don't care. Girls don't care if you're bald. Frankly that's just not true. Girls do care. I was dating two girls before I shaved my head. One left a few days before I shaved (my hair was pretty bad at that point) she didn't tell me why she just stopped talking to me all together. The second girl was visibly disgusted with my change. She told me that it didn't suit me and that I should grow out my 'hair' again. She and I are still talking but not in the same way. She feels distant when we talk over text and on the off chance that we hangout (we don't do that much anymore) she doesn't initiate anything. She used to be all over me, kissing me and grabbing me. Not anymore. The spark is gone.

Not only that but the girls that I had pursuing me have mostly gone too. I had 3 or 4 girls who would regularly hit me up on social media wanting to hangout. Not anymore.

I work retail and the way people treat me has completely changed. People just don't want to talk to me. People used to come up to me and ask for my help. That doesn't help so now I approach people and people just don't want my help.

It fucking sucks.

The worst part is if I go out in public with a beanie on (I dress sort of hipster-y) girls smile at me again. People are nicer to me. When I cover up my baldness with a hat people treat me the way that I used to be treated.

I feel like shit.

I don't have money for a transplant and I refuse to take propecia and minoxidil.

Should I buy a wig?

Don't buy a wig in the meantime. Start by taking care of your skin and body.
And start saving money for a hair transplant.
The worst thing you can do now is wasting your time thinking that every chance is lost.
Simply take it as a "work in progress" situation, improve what can be improved and don't waste a second.

Also, you're at the age where you can still add a few Cms of height if you're lucky.
Sleep at least 8 hours every night, and go to bed early (hormonal reasons).
Keep a good body posture during the day and do a lot of physical activity.
 
u need to run a hair system dude

but ur life experience is brutal as fuck, exposes the corrupt nature of how us humans are wired fundamentally



turning invisible / less liked the second the beanie comes off

I relate and empathize deeply

Brutal shit. I know only one guy from my highschool class that went bald so early, by the time he was 20 he already shaved it all off, its quite rare to go bald at such a young age. Im also a victim of pattern baldness but its very mild so now at 31 yo im around NW 2 on my left temple and NW 1.5 on the right. I am using a special concoction made out of mix of various circulation stimulating herbs such as peppermint oil and stinging nettle which i massage onto the temples 2-3 times a day and im noticing new hair growth. Im also postponing usage of finasteride and especially minoxidil since my skin is very smooth and collagen rich which is a rarity at my age and minox is known for destroying collagen. If i had similiar issue at your age i would probably start using minox though.

I was just browsing /r/new and stumbled across this. I think that a lot of your concerns might be more mental than you think, which causes you to behave in a way that actually manifests the behaviors that you are observing.

In short, I think you might be acting like a guy with low confidence, and people are treating you like a guy with low confidence.

Don't get a wig. You seem to have self image problems, and there are many ways to properly address that. Hit the gym, etc.

For what it's worth, I'm 34 years old, and after shaving my head a year ago, I'll never go back. This is so much easier to deal with and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it.

Why wouldn't u try minoxidil at least? There's no sides and nothing to lose really. It works for some people

Those herbs actually making hair grow back on your hairline?

Also humanity deserves to die out for the sin of lookism.
