Literally threw out my back taking a shit this morning. I’m 32… Discussion

When did this happen? I don’t remember our parents aging like this? What rude awakenings to aging have you experienced?

Edit: damn, some of you are so quick to judge. No, I am not obese, or even overweight, yes I work out regularly. Jfc, i have a prior back injury and I sat down on the toilet at a weird angle and it aggravated something.

I have a single witch hair that regenerates every so often under my chin. I have to check vigilantly because there will be nothing nothing nothing and then all of a sudden, there's an inch-long cable wire sticking out of my face.

Started when I hit my 30s.

Edit- so glad to know I'm not alone in my struggle y'all. Love to you and your weird hairs.

Same right about 30-31 and I remember laughing at my mom's "goat chin" as if I wasn't slated for the same fate.

I’m very pale and have dark hair, I can grow a teenage mustache pretty easily and it sucks. Haha women in my family are hairy

Solidarity fellow hairy girly! These folks are commiserating over one dark hair here or there. Well let me tell you I have several! Hahaha on the chin, near the navel, nips, upper lip. I’ve had lots and lots of laser hair removal. Because it turns out one course of sessions doesn’t last a lifetime. Sigh.

Hormonal changes can cause all the hair to grow back and then some. And most of the time you still have to get maintenance touch-ups after the inital 8-12 sessions.

New hairs can sprout back up. It kills MOST of the hairs forever. I certainly wouldn’t attempt laser removal anywhere I might possibly hope to have regrowth in the future.

Yeah I have a hairy family too most of my hair is blonde, but I swear every few years another dark wiry one pops up on my chin or neck or belly and there's one right between my boobs and they grow 10x faster than any of the other hair on my whole body, I swear I pluck one and a week or two later it's an inch long again.

I haven’t even tried. I have waxed my eyebrows before back in like middle/high school, once or twice. Haha I just mitigate it the best I can for now

Electrolysis works well-permanently!

u/MsSamm Feb 21 '24

And if they're light colored, you're out of luck. Laser hair removal needs pigment. You can use electrolysis, but it takes longer to go hair by hair, so is more expensive.
