So many compliments on the wig

My mother told my aunt about my hair loss. She relayed this story to me. My aunt would rave about this one woman's hair until she told her, "Stop. I've lost my hair. I wear a wig." What did my aunt do? Went out and bought a wig! She wears them on occasion despite having her own hair. Well, I've noticed an increase in compliments while I wear my cute, short bob. It is definately frustrating because I don't want the wig. I don't like the compliments because I feel like I'm lying to people. At the same time, I don't like patchy bald spots and the wig is the easiest way to cover them up and move on with life.
The falling out phase of alopecia universalis is the worst. It is inconvenient. There is the uncertainty of whether you will lose it all and adjust to being bald or if it just temporary is frustrating.
