Am I Balding Or This Some Sort Of Hair Whorl?

[Moss]

I have curly hair.
Recently I've been stressing over my hair for some reason. The crown seems to have less hair, less dense. I'm not sure if it's always been like this. Would anyone be able to identify if this is normal?

Unfortunately with that picture nobody can tell you for sure. If you are feeling less density and your hairline seems to be moving back (or there is visible scalp in the temple and hairline areas) and you are seeing some scalp on top, these are good indications you have male pattern baldness.

As far as I can tell there is no hair line recession. I have hair everywhere else as I have always had. I grew out my hair for the first time as a 24 year old so I don't know if I've always had less hair here or badling is happening.
So temple have to recede and the the crown bald simultaneously for it to be balding?
Could it be that I've always had less hair in this spot than everywhere else?
