Welcome. A_S_G. Glad you visited us and decided to join in. None of us can know whether you are truly balding or not. Only time will tell. What all of us are trying to tell you is DON"T SWEAT IT!!!!! IT'S JUST HAIR...... And we've all found that there is a really GREAT LIFE without it. So take our advice and go with the flow of what Mother Nature is doing with your hair. If not balding....by all means, be happy with what you've got. But if not......We don't think the alternative is too bad. If fact, alot of us prefer it.
Best of luck with whatever road you choose.

After thinking about it and looking in the mirror, I'm receding at the temples too. Just like my dad. My maternal grandfather had some recession too, but he always kept a crew cut. Like everyone else said, why sweat it? It's just hair. Hair does not define you.
