    Thanks for this, this is exactly the kind of overview I was desperate for. I've gone on :reddit-logo: before about this and yeah, immediate depression hits. Weirdly very glad to be talking to a commie about this.

    I've been extremely 'anti-vain; since I was a child and had borderline hairproduct-phobia that still lingers to this day, so I have an inclination to stay "natural." But I realized I've always been subconsciously very vain. Honestly I think I'm pretty attractive lol but it's 80% my hair, and my haircuts just generally look worse these days. So I'm reconsidering my commitment to 'naturalness.' My brother who looks identical to me is balding faster than me and honestly it doesn't look great, but he's as happy as ever and has a "if you care about it you've already lost" attitude which I had too, essentially until reading your comment. I might just need to admit that I'm more vain than he is.

    Absolutely same there lmao. I know some bad hairline people in their 30s who look disheveled but it kinda works, and I prefer that over the clean corporate "just shave it" thing. I aspire to have :bernie: 's hair when I'm older but honestly his hairline has been fire his whole life so I'm out of luck there.

    I'll consider signing up for keeps. They have some decent introductory pricing so maybe I should just try it. If the act of it makes me more insecure and depressed I'll just have to stop and accept how I look.

    Sincerely thank you, your comments have helped me a lot.

    EDIT: Another reason why I'm hesitant is because a quoted doctor on WebMD says once you stop, you may lose hair faster than if you hadn't started treatment at all. Not sure what to do with that info. Maybe I also need to stop smoking and having a shitty diet lol

      I'm glad I could help. It's good to be honest with ones self.

      Stopping can cause issues because finesteride messes with your hormones and stopping hormones is always a shock.

      As for the "if you care you already lost", thats like saying "money doesn't buy happiness". How you look is sadly important for daily interactions, mostly indirectly, subconsciously. If you like how you look then you're confident and that shows to others. Whatever you do, you just gotta own it.
