Help Me Figure Out If My Hair Is Thinning At The Crown!

So I'm a 24 year old norwood 1.5-ish, I'd say. I just realized I was a norwood anything earlier this year and it was quite the shock. Since then I've sort of accepted that unless I do something I can expect to follow my dad's hairloss, who was something like a norwood 3 or worse when he turned 30. Maybe that's even optimistic, I'm not sure anymore.

However, I've recently noticed a lot of individual shedded hairs at different places, I think noticably more than usual. We're not talking a crazy, crazy amount, but maybe 3-4 in the bathroom sink in the morning, a few in bed, a few on my shirt, I run my hand through my hair and catch one or two hairs and so on. I know you lose something like 100 hairs on average everyday, but this has been bugging me for a about a week or so now since I notice them all over the place and I'm not sure if it's confirmation bias, or maybe it is that I'm constantly checking my hair and grabbing it since I'm really bothered by my hair loss and I keep pulling out hairs - I'm not sure. Either way, I took some pics of my crownn and I'm not sure if they reveal some early stage of diffuse thinning at the scalp or if what I'm looking at is completely normal. I'd be really grateful if you'd help me figure this out!


Any help is very appreciated.

Edit: Even if the pictures don't reveal any noticeable thinning right now, should I be worried if I lose 5 individual hairs every time I shake my hair?

Still, I found individual hairs all over the Place and if I shake my hair over the sink for 10 secounds or so, I'll find 5-10 hairs in the sink afterwards. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Gonna give this another bump! I keep finding a hair or two in my hand when I run my hand through my hair, if I shake my hair even gently, I lose somewhere between 3-10 hairs every time (3-isch if I shake gently for just a few seconds, more if I shake harder for a longer period of time obv). So just by checking my hair this morning I've probably lost at least 10-15 hairs. Really stressed about this, I can handle the recession at the temples but idk if I can handle thinning at the crown.

EDIT: Is this a common first step for thinning at the crown?
