So last year I got a really, really short haircut that made one of my friends joke that I was balding. Despite it being a joke, it triggered my seemingly underlying BDD that had never previously been expressed and I started freaking out. My hairline has always had baby hairs, which i confirmed using older pics.
Genetics:
Dad: 50, NW0, extremely dense, fine-medium hair, no thin patches at all
Maternal GPA: 75, NW1, on the thinner side, but no visible scalp all around (probably thinner due to mental trauma induced CTE)
Fraternal GPA: 80, NW1.5 - 2 or so, no thinning
Maternal Uncle: I've always thought he was wearing a wig due to his wirey-looking hair, but my mom has told me he's not bald, his hair is real, and the appearance is due to him bleaching his hair almost monthly as a teen
First set of photos I took (~November 2018): https://imgur.com/a/JFjpfXi (note, as you can see my hairline isnt all the way pushed back cause I was scared to take pics like that at the time lmfao)

Last week: https://imgur.com/a/asF0P0C (my hair is SIGNIFICANTLY longer in these photos than the other sets excluding August.)
before I get ridiculed with comments calling me a "troll," I can assure you that that is the farthest from true. It's obvious that if I'm losing hair it's not bad at ALL yet, but I'm just posting to see if there are any early signs I can catch before they get worse.
