Is my hair thinning?

I'm a 21 year old male and recently I've noticed that my hair looks thin and not in a male pattern bald way but kinda all over my head. I started to really worry about this (probably not good with stress ha) but then I noticed a few pictures of when I was younger, like young teen, and I noticed my hair kinda looked thin there too and in the same way but I can't be sure. Is it possible for someone to just have thin hair their whole life? I haven't noticed any other things like having too much hair on my pillow, drain, sink, ect, just the normal like 5-10 strands (that I notice anyway). Is there a way I can check to see if I'm actually thinning? My dad's not bald my mom's dad is but not completly and he didn't lose his hair til later in life. My older brother (two years older) has very minor male pattern hair loss in the front but he's had that since early highschool. My diet has sucked recently (basically college) but I'm exercising now. Am I freaking out over nothing?

I know how you are feeling. I'm 44 and I am starting to notice some thinning on the top of my head. What you are describing sounds like Alopecia, you should contact your family doctor as there are several treatments that can help you. I have attached a link that has some excellent information on both hairloss and Alopecia. I hope this information is helpful to you.

try a mirror first...if you notice a receding line..you might be losing hair...if not...you are not going bald...you are freaking out...you inherit baldness from the mothers side of the family...so what if you are going bald...make you less of a man?...you are freaking out...good luck
