Im 20,male have been hairy all my life. But now its really getting to me. I have thick dark hair everywhere. But my face is starting to get thick stubble in wierd places on my face near my eyes and nose on my cheeks. I also have had acne for the past seven years. I feel imprisoned in my own life I dont go out Ive lost all my friends over the years. People look down upon me stare down on me everywhere I go. I have extreme social inxiety, depression , insomnia. I feel like im losing my gripe on reality at times which are becomming more frequent as my life quality decreases each day. No one seems to care. I cant do anything about my problems. I feel like the world is staring at me everywhere I go and laughing. I have been desensitized by the worlds cruelty but still fear it and isolate myself in my home. I cant believe this happening to me.
Many people on here feel the same way. All you can do is try and look at ways to sort it. Laser, electolysis…
Start on the area that bothers you most, maybe your face. And work from there.
We all understand your pain. Depression and self-esteem issues fade when one participates in a well-conceived plan to relieve the hair problems. Just moving forward in an area of focus like Morrissey suggests will move you closer to success. You’ll feel powerful over the hair as you conquer it inch by inch, row by row.

That’s a lot of hair. I don’t know much about hair growth and I’m just starting my journey as well but I must say, hair growing on cheeks, nose, near your eyes, etc, may be a medical condition. Maybe hormones or something? I plan on talking to a counselor as well, perhaps you should look into finding one as well to cope with your pain?
And of course do as much research as you can about hair removal. The more you know, the better equipped you’ll be to handle what you’re going through and the better prepared you’ll be to make the jump to a happier life!
hey…i feel the same way as you…im 16 and very very very very hairy. i’ve been dealing with this all my life and have been self-conscious from when i ws a little kid. i feel like its been slowly killing me over the past 16 years of my life. you can see how bad it is in my pics from the link of a post i made in my signiture, and im a girl so its pretty horrible…
but i’ve begun to start feeling like there is hope cause i have started electrolysis, and i know that even though it is gonna be a lot of work, i am gonna be hair-free one day…try to keep the image of one day getting rid of this problem in your mind…start some type of hair removal and try to see the postive in that it is gonna help you…i know it may be hard because you have been dealing with this.but you have to be strong. i sincerely hope the best for you. good luck. if it helps, just know that you are not alone in this.
Don’t feel alone. As you can see on this board, there are many people in the same situation. I would recommend you to start by talking to your parents and looking into seeing a therapist to work through the self-esteem issues. Once you start feeling better, you can plan out a route to reduce your body and facial hair with current available methods. Hair on the face that you’re describing is not that abnormal. And there is medication for acne - you should schedule an appt with a reputable dermatologist. Laser can help you reduce the hair on larger parts of your body, and electrolysis is a good way to treat smaller areas that need precision and any fine hair. There are solutions. You just need to get yourself under control first and feel good enough to start figuring out how to address the problem and start feeling better about yourself.
