What has alopecia taught you about love and intimacy?

What has dealing with alopecia taught you about being in love?

I'm not just asking whether alopecia has somehow improved your love life, but more specifically whether dealing with alopecia has taught you any specific lessons about romantic love and relationship-building.

For example, several alopecians in Alopecia World have mentioned that having to cope with alopecia forced them rethink the importance of physical attraction as well as their concepts of beauty. I've also seen where living with alopecia has helped some of you to genuinely (or finally) understand what "for better or worse" really means.

What else has your alopecia taught you about romantic love, dating, and marriage? Indeed, how might an alopecian use the condition to improve his or her love life?

Hi Yokasta! I can only say one thing: Thank you for sharing your story and I hope I one day will be so lucky to experience true love! I wish you all the best. In the past I have taken it as granted that noone will ever fall in love with me. But as you say: We have to love ourself first! -and that is excatly what I am doing and will do as best as I can each day to come!
