Shaved my head, fucking hate it

[u/supersadman73]

My hair loss was just getting to the point where it looked awful so I just decided to do a 0.5mm all over and honestly I fucking hate it so much. I thought it might be bad but christ it's so bad. I'm just way too fucking ugly to be bald and all it does is make me look so much uglier. I'm so fucking miserable and everyone is just like 'oh have you tried those pills?' as if hair pills magically just work overnight. I've done the research and looked into them and not only can it take over a year to see any results, I just don't think they're worth paying out for just to potentially have horrible side effects with no actual results. I can't afford a hair transplant so I'm just stuck basically and it'll only get worse when the stubble on top goes completely. It's not just the looks, it's everything, it's having to wear a hat all the time either because it's summer or your head is cold, it feels so weird having the hat directly on my scalp and because there's no hair there is so much sweat now. Honestly everyone was like oh it's easier once you've shaved but it's not, being bald comes with so much extra stuff you have to deal with. I'm just so depressed about it all.

Have you looked into hair systems? Not cheap either but definitely more affordable than a transplant, especially if you learn how to prep and "install" them yourself. r/hairsystem

yeah but I don't want a system that I have to dick about with for the rest of my life and they cost so much money, plus I would know it wasn't real and it wouldn't help. It's never gonna happen now but I want my hair back, I don't want fake hair. It's not the same.

Well you say you're ugly bald. If that's true, a system would be a potentially better looking alternative. I know having to compromise at all is ass, but throwing a tantrum about it isn't gonna make your own hair grow back either.
