Ask HN: Pre-mature baldness, self confidence and networking

Hey HN , I wanted to know if any of you suffer from pre-mature baldness. I am 28 but increasing getting bald since 18 and now almost bald. This has greatly affected my self confidence and I feel like I missed prime years of my life. I used to keep myself alone just to avoid people. Now I'm getting better.

Yet I feel like I suck a lot at networking. How do I improve my network , meet new people, keep conversation going and keep people interested in me ?

Happy holidays!
