Isn't it weird how when it happens to you it's everywhere

I saw a girl with alopecia yesterday, and a guy the other week on the bus (probably, you never know). Göteborg is pretty small in comparison so for me this was huge. Made my day!

And without my alopecia I wouldn't even have noticed. Or I might have noticed and wondered why they didn't have hair.

I'm just sorry if I stared at the guy on the bus I was so elated. But of course I didn't ask him, I didn't want to bother him, I should have instead of staring as if I was the the village idiot.

The pin thing already exist, just seem like they couldn't make up their mind about the colour, I heard the NAAF have had pins that are yellow, but several different organisations beautiful and bald, other webpages choose blue. (wiki doesn't even mention alopecia pins). I wish we could have a formal colour! Here in sweden there is limited access to different kinds of pins.

We have our own alopecia organisation here but its small and can't seem to get the message out, at least not in my city (2nd biggest) but in stockholm I beleive they have support groups and stuff.

We should have a secret "hand shake" or phrase....or a pin maybe.

Today I saw a beautiful young woman on the tram sporting a white fuzz on her head.

Thats the thing I am not sure I know it is the same as mine but that does not mean anything. I was gonna ask her if she had alopecia or something else, she is not the type who would care. I just need to find the confidence

DO yuo know what type of powder is it developed for alopecia or something you can pick up at the hairdresser. Because I have a lot of friends that use powders to get a fuller look, they might have thin hair or just like it. To approach her with no more information than that she uses a powder could do more harm than good. She might feel more selfconsious. But if you know she has a specific powder the support might be appriciated.

It happens to be I have a sitution that I have been trying to figure out if I should approach a girl I know. Someone told me she uses the same powder I use to fill in my spots and I am debating on approaching her and asking her if she has alopecia or something else. If you asked me a year ago, I would have said people like to be left alone; cause I had an encounter where a random stranger followed off the train and tried giving me adviced. These days I would not neccesarily mind if someone with a similiar situation approached me . I guess it doesn't hurt to approach them. What do u think ?

Do you think we should approach eachother? it's maybe better than staring but sometimes we just wan't to be left alone. Maybe some words of encouragement?

I always have that but never have the couarge to approach them.
