Alex, at least you admit it now. Just remember, right now its your hair. Later as you get older, it will be something else. It will never end unless you can finally accept no matter what happens( more flaws developing), you like what you see in the mirror.
yeah but i never really cared about my hair, never thought about going bald or if it could happen to me, i just figured since my entire dads side had hair and my moms uncles had hair, id be fine and wouldnt ever have to worry bout baldness, then i read that the mature hairline normally forms at 18-25, so i was like, oh crap i got it at 13, im probably gonna be bald early then, then the folliclitis and tiny bald spots formed, and it just sent me into a trainwreck about my hair, then i read male pattern baldness comes from your moms dad and theres hardly any pics of him, he bailed on my grandma and mom and died an early death, so at my grandmas i found a couple of their of wedding pics, doesnt look like drastic loss, Norwood 2.5 at max, maybe Norwood 2 with no temporal peaks, which to me seemed kinda extreme for a 25 year old and grandma said he wasnt balding, he just had a huge forehead, but who hasnt heard that before right? considering my grandpa on my dads side had a ronaldo hairline till 65 i was like, well why isnt my hairline like his, so i thought well maybe my maternal grandfather was balding and im currently balding. its just when i adressed the possiblity of going bald to my parents at first they laughed at me and just said "look at dad" not wanting to listen to me about my hair and didnt buy the maternal side story, so i went to a derm, who just quickly checked out my hair with a handheld microscope thing, and was like, "your fine" then when i asked bout the maternal side of things he was like "its a myth, look at your dad, thats what you will be, my dad was bald, so am i, my moms dad had a full head of hair, have u EVER seen a father will a full head of hair and have his son be slick bald? probably not, it doesnt work like that", and i wasnt happy with his answer as i felt he could be completly wrong, im just not happy with the answers ive been getting, but personally i do think that the moms side is somewhat overplayed, EVERYONE i know whose dad is a Norwood 5-nw7, their sons are bald regardless of what their moms side looks like. honestly, besides my maternal grandfather cause i have no idea nor does anyone else what Norwood he was past 30, every other male in my family has never progressed past a nw3 (my dads maternal grandad was a Norwood 3 at 40 till his death at 80) so my dad didnt take after him either, every male is a nw1, like an extreme nw1 like no recession what so ever, or a Norwood 2, my dad and brother are a Norwood 2
