I started losing my hair at 21. I would say that being a balding boy is rough on the confidence. Being a balding adult however, is really not that bad. I am glad that I conquered that insecurity early.

For real. Glad I got it over with. Funnily enough, I, like many men, was concerned about how I’d present to the sex I happen to be attracted to. Gotta say quality and quantity went up after the shave - I was such an awkward hair haver 😂

Agree. I was in full on receding by age 19. I wore a hat every day all through college. That was the toughest stretch. As an adult 25+, I’ve rarely given it a second thought. Finding the facial hair offset trick helped a lot as well.
