Ask HN: Bald men and depression
Hi HN,<p>I am posting here anonymously. Has any of you suffered from early age baldness? I have been losing my hair since 17 and finally at the age of 29 I decided to shave it off. I am 30 now. 
One thing that has always made me depressed is lack of dating or relationships.<p>I never had girlfriend. Finding GF&#x2F;wife is turning out to be incredibly difficult, especially if you are Indian. I am fearing that I might have mild depression.<p>I had suicidal thoughts a year back but after an overseas trip that is not happening anymore. I don&#x27;t want to see psychiatrist for the fear of that getting permanent medical record.<p>I posted to reddit but its usual lift and get fit reply. I am already fit, if not ripped. I weight 150lbs with 5&#x27;7&quot; as height. I do mild workout at least 3 days a week.<p>There have been numerous discussion about just own it and be confident. But, generic statement of be confident does not help. I know I shouldn&#x27;t compare but almost everyone I know in my age group is married or having kids.<p>I was software engineer and to a large degree still an introvert. I know how to engage and communicate. I literally have seen zero response from women of age 22 to 30. Many girls from matrimonial sites have also rejected me. In US, I am having hard time meeting anyone new. I literally get no response from dating sites CMB, Tinder, OkC.<p>Have any of you suffered from young age baldness? How did you cope with it and meet your partner?
