People have made comments before--mostly family though without realizing how painful it really was. I struggle with hair loss and excess facial hair--and my dad made a comment one time that we could transplant some of the excess hair off my face and put it on my head where its balding. that stung even though i laughed it off.
One time my brother was joking with me about something and I said, "Thats okay because your male." And he replied, "Well, I don't have male pattern baldness and you do." I know he was stating the obvious but it still hurts.
And one time at work someone pointed out my bald spot to me....I don't think people realize how hurtful those comments can be...especially when I try so hard to cover them up. Glad to know I'm not alone though.
