I saw a barista with obvious alopecia today. I wanted to tell her I know how it feels, but I didn’t want to overstep

Please dont. I had this happen once at my retail job. A complete stranger walked up to me as I was serving customers and said that she wanted me to know that she knew how I felt and that I didn't need to walk around like that. That I could buy hair fibres to cover up my scalp and what a godsend that had been for her. She told me she was glad she could help me out, and then walked out very pleased with herself. That's when everyone within earshot suddenly started checking out my head. I actually had no idea I had that problem of visible scalp. I was in the midst of an iron deficiency shed, and my part was wider, but I didn't think it was so bad that I needed to cover it up. I was so embarrassed for myself and it resulted in a period of time where I was deeply insecure and preoccupied with how my hair laid on my scalp. My co-workers were also really not impressed with this woman and thought she was such an asshole for doing that.
