Is anyone in your family bald? It could be Telogen Effluvium

My dad has really good hair, and my moms side, all my uncles are really bald. I know I will probably be bald or balding one day, but I thought that this wouldn't be a problem until i'm 30, because that's when my uncles started losing they're hair.

It can happen at any time during or after puberty, im the youngest to bald in my family (started at 14 FML ) Do you know how they started balding? Was it a receding hairline, crown thinning, diffuse thinning?
Your hair definitely looks thinner. Are the sides and back of your head thinner or is it just the top? If it is just the top ive got some bad news for you...

Wow, I didn't realize how bad it was... Do you think it'll ever get better? https://imgur.com/a/60tWb Also, my uncle started with hairline receding is what he said.

You are likely experiencing Telogen Effluvium. It SHOULD grow back. Keep an eye on your hair though and dont get too obsessed.. you dont want to end up on here with over 700 posts like me.

Okay, thank you. I hope it comes back. I'll try to not worry as much, and keep stress low. You've made me feel a lot better.

Looks sort of like my hair, I notice especially on my right side my hair below my partline it's pretty thin. Thought it could just appear thinner because you're in harsh light or that you part your hair and there is less coverage covering the spots that you're worried about.

About how many hairs do you shed a day? lol

I'm losing more than 100, but that's obvious due to how much i've lost in such a short time :/

Looks oke. Maybe not a thick as before but that can be because of diet and stress. Dont worry about it and keep an eye on it. Nothing more.
