Balding In Your 20's - Overcoming Depression, Anxiety, Insecurities and Balding.

[@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536]

I started balding when I was 21. Also gaining weight. Going bald early may have been a blessing in disguise, as it forced me to start keeping in shape and focusing on aspects of health I could control.

[@phantogsam]

Wow In me baldness made the opposite, made me depressed and sad I started to eat so much and now I'm a little bit fat as I never was haha same problem different ways, Everytime I trie to make something to change, this brings me down

[@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536]

@@phantogsam OH I went through the depression and loss of confidence too! But around 25 I got some swag back after I started lifting again. And older women at the time didn't mind at all. It killed my chances with same-age women though.

[@phantogsam]

@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 I'm happy you could get through. I would prefer to born bald than have to see him fading I guess I would already accepted this because it's how I was born, but life gives you hair and then takes away just to make you depressed haha 😥 not fair

[@Justin-baxe]

You look great bald man and im glad you took the plunge because we can't let anything that we have no control of ruin our life. I rather be disliked for me being bald then being liked for someone covering & hiding my bald head.

[@herman.grimaldo]

yeah exactly

[@bretk5365]

Awesome video man. I've been looking up resources for how to cope with hair loss and depression and there is nothing out there. I have no friends who can relate and have too much shame to speak about it publicly so I just internalize all of my anxiety. Seeing you accept it with a smile on your face gives me hope

[@talkingbaldly9886]

Bret Klausen Thanks Bret! While it sounds silly, a lot of guys feel this way. It’s a journey to overcome, and I thought it couldn’t get any better, but it DOES eventually. I’m glad I can help you answer some questions and show you that you’re not alone!

[@coreclan02]

I’m 17 now, but this happened when I was 16. I was made fun of in class for having a receding hairline. (Never even thought of it before) I went home to look in the mirror and found I actually had a pretty bad hairline. It’s been about 8 months since then and I’m still struggling with it mentally, that is on top of my other insecurities. I keep watching videos like yours here, but I think I just need to accept I’m not gonna be able to stop people from pointing it out and just ride out the rest of high school. Anyways thanks for posting this. It helps.

Hey bro , I am from germany and my hair is so thin that i can't even do anything with it except to brush it down

[@coreclan02]

I’m sorry to hear that man. I’m not sure if you’re quarantined right now like I am, but I’ve just been shaving my head down. You could try doing that 🤷‍♂️

[@fitness4life83]

Sry I wrote it very fast so i messed it up with my grammar hahahahah

[@coreclan02]

You’re all good. I understood it.

[@rohittiwari9250]

From india...bro....nd seriously this...thing takes a lot of toll....i m almost always thinking about my hair....a lot less now in quarantine....but in college...i m conscious about it almost all the time...just trying all the time to cover any visible bald areas ..... Looking upto almost any other person.... facing the same problem....nd being confident anyway does encourage really a lot though

[@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa]

Incredibly commendable that you opened up about this and point in on youtube. Well done.

[@anonymous2695]

Thank you so much for this. I am 24, have struggled with my thinning hair for god knows how long. Every morning I would look myself in the mirror and check for more loss. I buzzed my head after watching this video. Thanks a lot man. Really heartfelt.

[@talkingbaldly9886]

Shawn Nagar Glad I could help you! Buzzing your head is a HUGE step, and I know how daunting it can be. Congrats dude! How do you like it so far? :)

[@anonymous2695]

@@talkingbaldly9886 Its liberating! Though my mom hasn't spoken to me in a day. Will update you when the cold war is over haha

[@jaredcarter3569]

Thanks for this video man, I’m 19 turning 20 in April and I have been struggling for over a year now with a receding hairline. I recently got a buzz cut in December and I thought it was definitely less noticeable then when my hair was longer. I still have trouble accepting my hair loss and it has caused me to feel the most insecure I have ever felt in my life, I wear hats all the time now and I refuse to go to university without my hat on. I just have this stigma that if a girl sees that I don’t have a “normal” hairline that they’ll automatically think I’m unattractive or they just won’t be interested in me. I just hope over time I begin to cope with it and accept what’s happening, just need to embrace who I am I guess. But thanks again for this video, it definitely helps knowing that I’m not alone.

[@arminass1681]

Don't watch these pro bald video's they're not helpful. Kevin Mann and more plates more dates DO HELP

[@jakecartledge5123]

I’m in a real bad place. 17, shaved my head and it’s made me even worse

[@talkingbaldly9886]

Jake Cartledge sorry to hear buddy. Did you buzz it or shave it all?

[@rohittiwari9250]

One time i did shave my hair....nd it turned out somewhwt okay fr me....actually there had'nt been much balding then... A yr later...hair fall increased a lot... (probably it was genetic)i shaved my head again ...but this time it got worse....i just live in some bad dream all the time....takes a lot of toll on u mentally..... it's just that i could'nt accept it to be happening to me.....

[@SuperSuperswag101]

I’m 17 also I’m barely starting to thin to where it’s semi-noticeable and I’m super scared for what’s to come but I suppose we shouldn’t worry about what’s out of our control. Just going through the depressing phase of it and I know I’ll eventually come to regret spending my last moments with hair in just sadness.

Scalp micropigmentation is a good thing to choose if u don't hv a good donor area for transplant

[@tiedyesuit3097]

I couldn’t stop laughing through this video because it’s incredibly relatable.

[@Majid12022]

At first I was so happy that I look good being bald hahah. After two years of being bald and happy, my hairline started to recede more and more and at the time I hated it. My confidence went downhill. I got depressed. I didn’t leave the house much. I’m still kind of struggling to be honest. I wear hats most of the time when I’m outside. Thankfully I don’t hate my bald now I’m just so bored of it lol I think I’m gonna start wearing good quality hair pieces just for fun. Haha

I know that a lot of young man who are balding get depressed over it, but I think it's an awesome look. Some of us with a full head of hair prefer being bald by choice. Bald is bold and bald is beautiful!

It hurts actually but there are more things in the world to concentrate thanks for your Ted talk

[@jamildanesh9891]

Experiencing exactly same thing , especially swimming bit

[@mr.b3168]

I was also 19-22 when I started thinning. In highschool at 17-18 my hairline was already receding like vegeta. Some very depressing times. Mostly because of girls. After 25 I started caring less. Was already buzzing/shaving. I'm 32 now and I don't care. But yeah. I had girls straight up tell me they don't date bald guys after initiating conversations. Sucks. But whatever. idc

[@breakdancerQ]

Same and I fucking hate it. I'm just mentally am not ready to shave my head again, but I know at some point it'll be so bad that I have to. Man like I said, fucking hate it

[@timramm1]

Think there's more honestly in the comments than I expected,

[@abhiluitsharma1355]

One cons is that you really look older than your actual age. I have been called/cited by people around me as the elder one
