Ok, so I honestly haven't been fighting that long. I ignored the situation for quite a few years, and only in the past few months have I really started doing something about it.
I've been on Propecia for a few months now, and so far no sides or anything; of course, no real results either, but I wasn't expecting any.
I read a lot of threads on here with guys that seem to be horribly depressed, and a lot of it seems to come from the transition period between "balding but no one notices" and "balding and everyone can tell." Once you feel like you're not hiding anything anymore, what's the damn point?
So, I'm 26, and I'm probably at a ridiculous NW3-4. My hairloss is obvious; there's nothing to hide. I don't comb it weird or doing anything that tries to conceal anything. I've only had a few comments from people, and it's never been a "eww, you're balding (or bald)!" Usually it's something along the lines of, "who cares!" and usually only when I ask them the question.
I'm not trying to make myself feel better. Overall I've been successful despite my hairloss. I run a successful small-business, a business that requires I spend a lot of face time with clients, and I've made a lot of great friends over the years. Honestly, I thought about just taking a month off, buzzing my head and then just seeing how it looks.
Sorry, this is getting long. The main point was, once you've transitioned to the point where people would probably start identifying you as bald/balding, wouldn't that help with acceptance?
