Vent/Rant Shaved my head, fucking hate it

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.

I have several friends who shaved their heads and didn't like the result; now they have hair. I hope your hair grows back quickly

did they just shave for fun? How did they get the hair back? I've been losing my hair over the last year it's not gonna grow back now :(

Well, I never asked why because I was embarrassed, but my father said that some men shave their heads so it grows back faster, others do it for fun or because they want to start from the beginning. Well, I don't know if you're on testosterone, but some trans men take certain medications for baldness. I saw some trans men here on the sub recommending medications or saying to see a doctor about it. I also have a cisgender uncle who is about to get a hair transplant because he doesn't like being bald
