I agree with a lot of what you just said but especially for the last point it can also go the other way around. Sometimes we do underrate unknown things but often it's the exactly the opposite. The fear of the unknown is actually biological programmed into us to be suspicious and keep us safe. That's why we fear the dark, why horror movies work, why the deep sea is terrifying for a lot of people and why racism exists or the I/We against the others mentality. It's a protective mechanism. Otherwise excellent reply.First of all dude, sorry for your dad. Now regarding your hair, being so long and fluffy it's kind of hard to spot any miniaturization, if you would buzz it you would see things differently and you could also go to a doctor then and do a scalp biopsy or trichology test to see exactly if there is any sign of male pattern baldness. I guarantee you that these tests are more accurate than any opinion you would get from strangers, being they on the internet on hairloss forums, but from real life also...
And talking about opinions, mine is that you have great hair and i can't seem to see any signs of male pattern baldness from your pictures, i may be wrong of course but as i said, if you really want to be sure and have that peace of mind, you could get some professional tests done with proper equipment that would really show what even the eyes can't see...
And a humble advise for your depression, keep in mind that people tend to disregard it and minimize the damage it can do, especially being in that state for so long, it can actually destroy you, it can actually increase the risks of you getting a lot of diseases, illnesses, from heart one to actually f*****g cancer... You really should make it priority number 1 and start doing something about it immediately, from going to a therapist, doing yoga and trying meditation, do exercises when you can, go out in nature, swim, do whatever but take action before it's to late...
As for the whitening of your hair read this:

Take it with a grain of salt of course like you should take everything, but keep in mind that we don't actually know a lot of things and we really, really have the tendency to minimize and underrate things that we don't understand, it's human nature unfortunately, "what you can't see or know, can't hurt you..."

Thank you for reply. I know it's just opinions here but I guess that in a way is the point of this place. I often like your approach to people asking questions here (not the arguing stuff but your regular answers). Hopefully you know what I mean.
I actually just had somebody point out m gray/white hair again yesterday. They said "Your just getting more and more gray/white hair". I am 100% fine with this though, and always kind of wanted all white hair anyway.
That is my great grandpaw at 90 years old haha.
Here he is at 70ish but nothing changed until death NW0. According to my maw maw he was completely white/gray by 35 haha.

If you feel balding, your balding. I think you lost some density.
I have many things I could say but I am too exhausted and it really means nothing anyway. Thank you for the replies. I hope everybody finds happiness.
