Accepting hair loss

Psychological effects are very hard to predict. Depends on the person.

MPB can act at different speeds depending on the person too. This is how it goes: certain follicles in your hair are sensitive to DHT and they start to shrink gradually. The more sensitive they are, the faster they'll die. The more DHT you produce, the quicker they'll die too. MPB happens in different ways and thinning at the crown is not necessary.
If you want to lose it naturally go ahead, but be aware that once you lose your hair it's gone unless you get an hair transplant or magical regrowth happens.
Dutasteride blocks 95% of DHT, that's why it is supposed to be so effective. Some people get side effects, however only a very very small percentage compared to placebo groups.

Iktf anon, I'm also 22 and my hairline started receding when I was like 16 lmao. Forget that maturing hairline meme, it's probably receding. Lots of guys start receding early unfortunately.

As for how I dealt with it: I simply looked at myself in the mirror, gave myself a buzz cut, and then grabbed a razor and shaved my whole head. My parents were shocked and like "wtf is wrong with you" but it helped me accept my fate. Having friends that complimented the fact that I looked better bald also helped immensely (I had curly jewish hair, definitely an improvement), thought I suppose I have decent traits to be able to pull off the bald look. I feel much more confident in my appearance and even accept my early baldness as a blessing because it made me look much better.

Having a decent beard or stubble and/or wearing glasses detracts attention from your bald head, if you're that self-conscious about it but really, get a buzz cut/shave it completely and go out in public like that. The best way to overcome your insecurities is to expose them to the world sometimes.

last sept i noticed my hair thinning out from the crown at 19 first month of uni

it got to the point where i was clearly balding with a huge bald spot on the top of my head. keep in my mind my hairline is 100% and not affected. so it depends on the person

buzz cutting since

i highly reccemend going to the doctor to get your blood checked for any abnormalities - also ask to check vitamin D level.

You look good, anon. The bald look doesn't bother me at all. In fact I think bald guys who eat healthy and work out look more masculine than guys with hair. It's just that I think that I'm pretty ugly. I consider my face a 4/10 but some people (anons) say that I look completely normal and that I might suffer from body dysmorphia. Maybe there is a god and this is how he's going to make me into a better person. Here's a funny thing. During the first week of extreme depression I laid awake at night and realized how much I act like a piece of shit and that I'm going to die alone if I keep living like that. I've actually been working on treating other people better and becoming a better person since. I actually feel a lot better about myself because of that but I'm still sad that I might be losing my hair. Hopefully the maturing hairline thing is not a meme and you just happened to be one of those guys who didn't get it before MPB started.
