Wanting to have back something you were born with is not f***ing vanity! You owe it to yourself to look as good as you feel.
In the end, everything you fear will likely never come to pass (FEAR = F(alse) E(vents) A(appearing) R(eal))
I wear a full cap. After messing around for several months, I look awesome. I get compliments all the time on my hair from women, even a really hot women who is doing electrolysis on my unibrow who is all over me (always grabbing my muscles) (she's married and her husband works there
). Even though she's right on top of me, and was a hair stylists before, she hasn't noticed.
Like antywanty,I have been through major depressive disorder because of this, it cost me years of my life I will never get back. Bite the bullet and do it. The only way to kill fear is to attack it head on. You are very fortunate to be here at this time, when in the past, guys didn't have it so good with this stuff.
I'll stop my rambling, but you need to put this behind you and pursue your goals in life without this bulls**t hanging over you all the time. Your future self (20-25 years from now) will understand, trust me.
