Wow I haven't been on here in a long time. A lot has changed. I've become more social. This seems very basic, but I've struggled with it my whole life since I lost all my hair at 8. I've made new friends, but there is still a part of me that is embarrassed by my alopecia. Also, I do not date at all. Since the end of my last relationship at 24 I have not dated at all & I am now 29, yep 5 years. I know it’s because I have a serious fear of rejection or being judged because of my alopecia.…

The support on this site has been amazing. I've starting taking baby steps. A couple days ago I told my best friend about my alopecia and how it has made me feel. I even took my wig off so he could what my hair actually looks like. As of right now I'm not completely bald I had to stop shaving because my scalp was so irritated. He was so supportive and understanding. We talked until 2a.m., he suggested since it was so late and no one would see me that I drive home without my wig on. I did and it… Continue

Hello, this is very strange to me first of all. I am not one who socializes at all, especially on the internet. Today is my birthday. I am 27 years old. Alopecia has been running my life for the last 20 years. Yesterday, I took some time to think about everything I have missed out on because I was afraid.
