Today I returned to my hometown and went to the favorite bar/pub/club where my entire highschool alumni always show up in huge numbers the day before the thanksgiving. I was so worried on the way that I was going to be the guy that showed up and everyone thinking "damn, he only graduated five and a half years ago and already begining to lose his hair."
Well waiting in line I saw an old friend come out who graduated a couple years below me with way more recession that I did. He lost twice as much of his hairline then I have, not to mention I have 3 years on him. Then I got inside and took a look around to see how everyone else has aged. Suddenly I didn't feel so bad. I wasn't alone having recession in my temples at age 24. More then half of people I went to high school with had some sort of recession. Plus my overall hair was way thicker than most of the people in the bar. It occured to me that most guys who age through their twenties lose a bit of their temples. Yeah a lot guys still showed up with perfect hairlines, but lots of the guys who had recession showed up with a good looking girl under their arms and were in a serious relationship.
So, I realized I was taking my hairloss way too seriously. A lot of people I saw tonight were even already losing hair on the back of their head, mine is still perfect back there. The problem was that I was really busy with work(I work out of the home) and only watching TV to pass time. All the guys in their twenties on TV usually have a full set of hair. Unfortunately that is no where near reality. I been inside so much that I forgot that most people in their twenties have some sort of recession. I thought I was a minority of people losing their hairline in their twenties, but that ain't so. I'm around a norwood 2 and I was better off that so many other people around my age.
I want to share this because I see a lot of young guys posting their pictures and they have lost like 12 hairs on their head. Then post panics about super freaking out because they are only 18 or 19. I look at some of these photos and laugh because many people would kill to have their hairlines and they seem to be the most distressed around here. I also have seen other photos of people who are really losing their hair fast who are so young and they have my complete sympathy. I know it is tough for many people, but I think a lot of people here are taking their hairloss way too seriously. We know who they are. My hair thinned out around 19 and slowly receded for the next 5 year but you know what?? Those 5 years were still the best years of my life. I went off the college and with my "receded temples" I met tons of girls, had loads of fun and was a much happy person then when I was with a straight hairline.
Keep on your regimens to maintain what you have, then go back to your hometown when your 24-26 and find some of your old classmates. I gaurentee that you will be better off then 80% of the guys there.
My two cents.
