Just been looking at myself in the mirror (I was shaving before leaving for work, if you must know) and I noticed something: I'M GREY!

Like, not completely. I just look frightfully pale, with a weird grey tinge to my face. :ohmy:

God, anxiety is getting old. It was hard enough getting a girlfriend before all this. What next..?

On the plus side, I still feel much better in general.

I remember my first time grey hair. But it's not on my head :blush:

Wait till you get ear hairs!!! :roflmao: Then you will feel old!

Good to hear things are still going well. That's by far the most important, things like this will sort themselves out.

No, there's definitely a grey-ish tinge to my skin right now. Probably because I've been inside so much, eating little and worrying about things (not health related). But thanks!

Oh, I have a few ear hairs. I've had nasal hairs that insist on poking out since I was in my early 20s. I also started going bald in my teens.

No wonder I'm anxious!

EDIT: Did you think I was referring to my hair? That remains blonde, if a little thin...

Going bald = virile...some positive thinking to challenge negative thinking I reckon. :winks:

Yeah, those damn nasal hairs. And the more you cut them, the worse they stick out as they seem to get straighter. How people pluck them though, I don't know!

Yeah, I thought you meant you barnet. I didn't think you were blonde under that beanie.

I feel like the John Major puppet from Spitting Image. If that isn't too obscure a reference.

The funny thing is, the puppet is more memorable than the actual man. :roflmao:

If only we had Spitting Image still.

"More peas, Norma?":roflmao:

Was it a bathroom mirror? I find they are notorious for not reflecting (lol) your true colour. I bet if you take a walk and look in a different mirror (eg shop or work), you will look fine. Artificial light is not flattering.

I've been going bald since my twenties. Now, I'm Mr. Clean. Ironically, when I decided to shave my head, my social life improved dramatically! Who knew so many women liked bald? Sadly though, as the hair on my head became thinner, the hear in my nose and ears grew thicker ~lol~

Concerning the complexion? Get outside and get a little sun :shades:

Myself and alot if women I know don't care about men being bald. If someone's that superficial why would you want them anyways.

If it makes you feel any better, my first gray popped up at age 14! I've been coloring my hair ever since so who knows what's under there now.

I always convince myself my skin is tinted yellow. The fear of cancer induced jaundice washes over me and sends me into a panic, that is until I go to a room with sufficient natural lighting. The lighting of the room you're in plays a roll in the perceived tone of your skin. Maybe that's what's going on.

Very true the lighting makes a difference.

I don't know if my opening post was as clear as it could have been. It's not my hair that's grey, it was my face.

I looked really off. However, I look my normal, devastatingly attractive, fleshy self again now.

Could it have been just a lighting thing? Perhaps you need one of those special makeup mirrors so you can make sure you look your devastatingly attractive, fleshy self in any light ~lol~

No, I definitely looked strange. I put it down to lack of sunlight, poor sleep, not eating or drinking enough. Had a bit of a lapse in self-care lately. Been feeling horrible. But it was nothing to worry about. I'm really stressed at the moment, but I'm managing my condition as well as ever.

Well yeah, true... lack of sleep, sun etc. can make you look like death warmed over... If you think you have bad face days now? Wait till you hit mid-life! ~lol~

Keep you the good work... perhaps some homemade Prozac would be in order?
