I Think I'm Diffuse Thinning All Over My Scalp

I recently got a shorter hairstyle (basically a buzz cut but longer on the top) and first thing I noticed was that I can see a LOT of my scalp through my hair, all over the top of my head, apart from my hairline on the left and right sides. I'm already receding a bit on the hairline as well, I'd say I'm a Norwood 2. Basically I just want to know if this is actual diffuse thinning or if this is me over reacting. I just don't think it looks normal. I'm wondering on starting Finasteride but I don't want a massive shed and my hair looking even worse, not to mention the sexual sides. Anyway here's some pics, I took them after I had a shower so you can see what it looks like wet and dry, they look a bit worse than they would in real life due to the lighting, but still. Your opinions would be much appreciated. I'm 20 by the way.

Hard to say for sure. You may have natural low density and fine hair so you are going to see scalp when it is short and wet. You need to show one with your hairline pulled back so we can see the temples.
