I feel like I'm the only one obsessing over looking in the mirror every day, and it's really draining my mental energy.

Lately, I’m going crazy with stress every time I wash my hair and dry it in the morning.

In the past, even if I just roughly towel-dried my hair, the volume at the crown would hold perfectly, but now that the hair at the crown and bangs has become weak and thin, it just flattens out and sticks to my scalp as soon as it dries.

Others say they don't notice, but to me, my parting line looks much more visible than before. Whenever I look in the elevator mirror with the overhead light, the crown of my head looks like it's completely empty, so I keep feeling self-conscious. I'm self-conscious about how others see me, and the hardest part is having my self-esteem plummet every time I look in the mirror.

I'm a bit embarrassed to ask around me, and I feel like I'm the only one obsessing over looking in the mirror every day, so it's really messing with my mind.
