How to open up to new people/ possible boyfriends

Hey there! This is my first post. I have had alopacia since I was 12, and I am now 16. I lost all of my hair shortly after figuring out that I had it. I have adjusted well and come to terms and am pretty comfortable in my own skin, (I have always worn realistic wigs) until it comes time to tell someone new that I don't necessarily feel comfortable around, or that I am trying to impress or get along with about my condition. It doesn't bother me, but I feel like it would put up a barrier that I don't want. Also, I recently met a boy that I really seem to like, and I don't know how to be brave enough to tell him. He is very understanding and a good, though relatively new friend, but I'm afraid of scaring him off. Any advice on how to tell people in about what's going on?

Hi, I think the best thing you can do is to tell him. I know Alopecia  sucks, but the good thing about is you will find out who is your real friend and who really loves you.

Should I wait until there is more trust built between us? I just get so freaked out thinking about telling him.

It happened to me too. I did not tell him until he touched my head and he felt something and I had no choice I had to tell him, but he was ok with that. He said it's fine I don't care about it. I care about your personality. My advice to you is if you really like this guy tell him. You feel better in this way. I remember I went out with him and the weather was windy I had to wear hat and say it's my style but I was lying and I did not feel good and enjoy my moment with him. After I told him I feel relax and comfortable. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck
