Some people are sooo rude and ignorant!

I have had alopecia for 13 years. This weekend I went out with some friends and this "lady" was like "Where is all of your hair?", from across the bar so everyone could hear her. I was really embarrassed because in 13 years I've never had anyone be so blatantly rude. Even the people sitting next to her looked at her like she should shut the !.&@ up.
The worst part is she went on to talk about how she was married to a guy who hand alopecia for ten years. I can only assume he left her because of the way she acts. Anyway, I thought that I would share this experience because even after 13 years of being at peace with my alopecia that was hurtful and now I am a little more conscious of how I look. Did not need that.

After church Sunday this "old gansta" looking dude walked up to me and shakes my hand. My sister asked him "do you know her?" His comment was "no but we have something in common, we are both bald headed." I told him, "I hope you like yours because I love mine." This fool tucked tail and almost ran out of the church. Not alot of AA boldness in my area..........but I'm not having mercy on ignorance!!!!! LMBO

Some people just don't think it would be offensive. There are many people that think if they aren't blunt they are being rude by ignoring the situation. The way I met my exfiance was him walking up to me when I was completely bald and asking "How long did it take you to get your hair like that?" My response what that it took about three hours and half a can of hairspray. I undrestand how it feels to be selfconcious. You just have to take a breath and remember that regaurdless what happens you have to courage to deal with your alopecia. A lot of people I know cry just because I have it. There are many people who wouldn't be able to deal with it and you can. Yay us! :)
