Teenager, bald from cancer, using styling to hide what can’t be hidden

I had cancer a few years ago and went bald as a result. Women and general people we’re just slightly rude to me when they saw my dome. People at my high school during the time never talked to me especially women. One girl just flat out refused to work with me. I didn’t tell them I had cancer cuz I felt it would just ruin the mood so I just dealt with it. Fast forwarding to current day I have a borderline Norwood 3. Comb over and people treat me better compared to when I was bald. I just I feel kind of sad deep down cuz I know if I let my hair go I will be treated like trash. And I’m only 21 and literally no one has hair loss at my University but I’m lucky I have really good hair density to cover the receding parts but when it’s windy it doesn’t work out. I just want to get a hair transplant and continue living my life without thinking about my hair. Sorry, I just wanted to vent cuz no one will understand what it’s like. It is just insane, cancer did a lot of emotional damage to me but hair loss is doing more it seems. Like I’m really happy I’m alive but I just want that quality of life where hair loss is not draining on me and where I don’t feel out of place or old, or knowing the fact that if I go bald people will treat me badly.

Your experience, for the most part, builds strength and character. You might not recognize it when it was happening to you, but now, you seem to understand more about what you experienced. What you were seeing were not your issues; it was other people’s issues. Shame on them.
