Baldcel rebuttal challenge

[Abou Baldiaby]

In a few days I'm gonna attend a Xmas family meetup, it'll be several people whom I haven't seen in years and normally I enjoy this scenario. However, they remember me as NW3ish, and when they see me at NW5 they gonna be shocked and comment on it. It doesn't help that I'm gonna be the last one there due to traveling, so as soon as I take off my hat I'm gonna face a barrage of predictable 'you're getting thin on top there' comments, in plenum. It may start a whole conversation about bald relatives and whatnot while my head will turn red of shame. My non-bald brothers will find this amusing I reckon. I find these situations far worse than not getting some, my plan is to make a rehearsed snappy remark that'll shut it down without me sounding like I'm passive-aggressive, bothered or annoyed about it. I got some lines ready but I'm not 100% satisfied with them, feel free to make suggestions.

That's inhumane.
Hopefully there will be a viable cure while you're relatively young.

They made huge investments into finding a solution, so you may have your resurrection before becoming oldcel like me.

nw1 isn't death because many people get to nw1 and stop there. but if u reach nw2, then it's just over from there.

Don't think they will get the reference.

I've decided to play it cool and say "yeah huh, my hair is gone but at my age it's not a big crisis. It would be worse if it happened in my twenties, huh". This will defuse the tension and suspension in the room cos it's not denying the issue nor being too reactive about it.

This shows how important it is to have a comeback line or two when your incel-trait is being used against you.

It's how it went down tonight.

Upon entering the venue I was greeted with constrained smiles of pity and reserved greetings.
To my surprise nobody mentioned the glaring balding head in the room, the only bald head in a group of about 20 people.
Eventually I sat in a corner and chatted with my cousins, except my sister the females barely acknowledged my presence, very interesting. They used to be way more accommodating with my NW1-NW3 self.
At any rate it wasn't that bad, until some aunt said "it was nice to see you, even if you have so little hair". The elephant was finally addressed and laughs of relief was heard. I did not expect such a blatant remark, fortunately I had visualized myself in an embarrassing situation and was mentally prepared. I brushed it off with a short "yes, indeed" and acted like nothing.
After that, upon leaving my nieces gave my non-bald brothers hugs and said good-bye, yet I barely got winks, interesting.
To sum up, It was definitely a sense of being looked upon as a complete failure, even though I'm fit and economically stable.
I would probably be catching bad feelings if I didn't prepare mentally as well as practice stoic calmness..
