OBSESSING over my hair

[MrAEC]

Hello, just joined and I know people might be sick of first time posters' pictures, etc., but I have been completely obsessing over my hair and more specifically:

1) Whether it is clear upon first look that I'm receding (even when I don't pull my hair back);

2) If one side has receded more, does that mean the side with less recession will start and continue to the same degree? Can there ever be a maturation or stopping point?

3) I have a prescription for Proscar ready for pick up but am terrified of the sexual side effects (mainly the idea of permanent effects).

Thank you in advance for any/all comments on any of these. Much appreciated. It's crazy what a mind eff one's hair can be.
