Or is he just feeling sorry for himself?

When we were younger, he had all the girls, and the friends and I admit I was jealous. Now we're older this has completely reversed.

Naww, tell him that life is over and then ask if you can have his fishing pole....bet ya he'll perk right up!
Hell....My left hip has the bone dissolving and the leg has shortened to 1.5 inches shorter than the right, had a heart attack and a stent inserted into my lower right coronary artery, can't stand or walk without a cane and then for maybe 20 minutes, the fingers on my right hand are numb from a severed nerve...wife took off a couple years ago....
And life damn sure isn't over for this kid!!!! (point being...he's feeling a goodly dose of self pity...I'd be happy to swap places with him...and I'm 48 years old)
LOL

Yes, he is feeling sorry for himself. He most likely feels very unsatisfied with where he is in life. And at 35 years old, he probably feels that it is too late to make a change. My personal opinion aside, there are a lot of people who do feel that same sentiment. I think that's what a mid-life crisis is. A person does not like his current status. People deal with it differently. Some people will get fancy cars, or do fun sports such as spelunking. It's the same situation for your mate, except he feels there is nothing he can change. While it is not too late to make a change, it will be very hard. He most likely suffers from low self-esteem, and 35 years worth of it. It's not just something he can change overnight, but... he can start. It's never too late.

Feeling sorry for himself, he could easily get off his backside and do something about it. Try the doctors to arrange a good diet plan and an exercise routine, and stick to it. You can help him by encouraging him all the way and making sure he is active. As for a receding hairline this is common on even young fit and healthy people and can be easily sorted out.

looking like that is probably making him feel sorry for himself, try and get him to get counciling as he may be eating to cover up some deeper problem, get him to eat healthy or join a weight watchers club, and see if a barber can give him a new look with his hair and then try and get him some nice clothes there are a lot of shops out there now for big folk, then when the weight starts dropping of he will start to feel better about himself, is he stuck in the house all day try and get him interested in something to take his mind of eating and his problems, if all that fails be hard on him tell him there are people with no arms and legs and they do Olympics rather than feel sorry for himself he should be ashamed and get up off his butt and do something about it rather than just moaning and feeling sorry for himself when it is all his own fault....good luck

No, I sincerely do not believe that. Being 35 is still young.
And regardless of age, one shouldn't be hindered by how he/she looks.
Our life is ONLY over once we embrace it with our whole being. But as long as we have hope, our life is never over.
And since he is obese, it's never too late for him to start a healthy regimen and lose the excess.
There are a lot of things he can do, but more importantly, he need to deal with his inner issues. Yes, extreme makeovers are very much rampant, but unless he confront his own demons, no amount of exercise or even surgery can help him particularly long-term wise.

sometimes in life you need a good friend to kick you up the **** and tell you to stop moping. this looks like such a time.
35 is still young, obesity he can lose the weight under medical supervision and well, lots of guys have receding hair.

I would say, very very depressed. You can try and help, which is what friends are for, but only he will be able to pull himself clear of that horrible pit of misery he's found himself in with or without medication. All the best.

there is not any treatment for somebody who has a organic receded hairline when you consider that beginning. The hair follicles did no longer type there. stay with what god gave you and understand we are all attractive in our way. Dont waste your money!

35 is young for your life to be over. Should be a great time if he wants to change his outlook and work at making his life better.
