How bad is my balding? Anxiety is killing me.

[IrishAndroid]

Hey, everybody. I've been off and on with hair loss before, on forums, but I've never been sure. As a background, I'm 31, will be 32 in December, with thick, curly hair most people I know envy. That bothers me, honestly, given my worries. I feel like I've been given something that is about to be taken from me. I have my mother's hair, I've been told; her brother has my exact hair, and he suffered from a small bald spot in his middle years (I don't know what age, specifically). My father was bald by his late fifties, but he was also in prison, so I don't know how to take that.

I've included as many pictures as I can. I apologize if they're bad. What I want to know is .. how bad is this? And what should I do? I feel lost.

And the front. Harder to capture.

What especially annoys me is that nobody else seems to think I'm balding, including two girls I'm seeing and my mother. I feel like they're just not clued in to this stuff and I know you guys will spot it. I appreciate any feedback.

Hard to tell monitor it for 6 months

Yeah I agree, I would keep an eye on it for 6 months but hold off on treatments for now.
You look like a NW2 in the picture, but lots of people develop a NW2 in their early 20's, and never progress past that (it's called the mature hairline). Your crown does seem to be a little thin, so it could be the start of male pattern baldness, on the other hand I know a guy who has had a thin spot worse than that on his crown for 10 years and it hasn't gone further

Thank you, gentleman. I think I'm balding in parallel to my uncle. I'll try to get a hold of him; chances are, I inherited the same gene he did. The crown is indeed a little thin, but I wear it long enough so I can hide this. I'm on nizoral for now, but I'll monitor over time and see what I should do (sheezus, even Minoxidil sides scare me).
