So, I’m a 20 years old young man with a lot of insecurities, and some more inhabitual for my age. Since late teen I have been suffering from male patern baldness. I’m now around norwood 3 and using minoxidil which improves tremendously the hair density et reduces dramatically the speed of the initial loss. I’ve some not that minimal wrinkles all around my face, principaly on my forehead. I’ve important dimples when I smile. I’ve important vascular dark circles. And, A THICK AND DARK beard of a man of 30 years. I cannot shave it completely because the hair is too rough. So when I shave you see black points everywhere on the third bottom of my face. This is really a physical complex. People think I’m 30-32 years old I really don’t know how to deal with this stuff. I’m considering esthetic medicine for the dark circle, I saw you can partially treat them with the proper method, though still quite expensive. I really don’t see myself succeed with1 girls. No, I’m scared of their reactions about my physic. I look like a mediterranean dad, not a young man at university (people already told me that without being hurtful). I’d like to have someone but it’s pratically impossible. I don’t think girls appreciate when men have that much beard, hair loss and look 10 years older ! Have any of you overcome this situation ? I know I could shave my head but, guys, I’m 20 years old. It’s freaking SCARY ! This would be too much change ! TL;DR : Norwood 3 at 20 years old, look 30 but I’m 20. Scared to remain alone my whole life. submitted by /u/Irreallyneedtochange
