I’m an 18 year old boy the just finished his first year in college. I shaved my head early in high school due to giant bald spots. My high school forced me to walk around without my hat on. It gave me stress and anxiety, like there was always someone looking at me. I really hated it when people ask me if I had cancer. I’m hoping someone who reads this knows what I’m talking about.
About a week ago was my first time not wearing a hat for a full day in at least 5 years. It made me feel accomplished and I even had classes that day!!! Just shave it real short and get a nice tan.
I’ve learned to deal with it and it has made me a better person. I overcame it and now I am more caring toward others, and more confident. I feel unique and never talked to anyone else with the same condition before. It was hard at first and then I got use to it. I was very shy and couldn’t make friends easily. I didn’t even get my first kiss until college :) I feel its easy to make friends and having AU makes it easier to get closer and talk to people. I’d like to chat to others that have Alopecia, my email is music4grab@gmail.com
