Is shedding short and sometimes thin strands of hair normal or does it guarantee hairloss?

I'm a 31 year old Asian with thick coarse strands of hair. Sometimes in the shower I would count 20 - 30 strands of hair. Today I counter 21 and some were short less then an inch and some were thin too and some were normal length. I was wondering is shedding some short hair less then an inch and some thin hair normal or does it mean you're 100% balding? Do all the strands on your head that you shed have to be the same thickness to not be considered balding? I posted an imgur of the strands of hair I'm talking about. I posted an imgur of the strands of hair I'm talking about below.

I saw a hair restoration doctor in 2018, sent pictures to a hair clinic in 2018 and 2019 and saw a dermatologist in April of 2019 and they all said my hair looks fine. I'm still wondering about the thin  and sometimes short strands of hair I sometimes find after showering or randomly on the floor or table.

Hair shedding is normal, summer months is when hairs shed more often. You’re not balding. I would kill to have your hair. My advice is stay away from the forums and concentrate on something else or a hobby.

Thanks for replying again. Yeah I understanding shedding is normal, but should I be worried about shedding those thing strands of hair like in this picture https://imgur.com/a/cHqXPkA that seem weak and wispy? I would shed 20 strands of hair in the shower and about 5 - 8 of them would be a mix of the short and thin wispy strands like in the imgur link. The majority would be the normal thickness.
