But when I get a fresh cut/shape up, it's straight across. My friend told me that it is because my barber is pushing my hairline back and that I should tell the barber to outline my natural hairline or else he will keep pushing my hair back and back and back.

Going back to the U example of my line, what I don't understand is, if the barber cuts straight along the two points of the U, will my hair get pushed back?

Its always in a U shape. You just never notice. It depends on what angle you're looking at it from.

Come to terms with your receding hairline bro, or just get a really low cut

Basically.
If your barber was pushing your hairline back, I'm certain you would have noticed it.

How low are you getting your cut that you don't notice if he's pushing your hairline back or not?

Not too low, I usually get a dark ceaser. It doesn't seem like my barber is pushing it back, but my friend insists that he is since my my friend claims that my barber does not outline my natural line.

You have a widow's peak, and your barber is probably cutting straight across.

Obviously a white guy, but you can still see how his hairline has a distinct point in the front and not straight across

And this is exactly why I dropped my barber and started doing my own cuts. Best decision I made this year.
 
The whole "permanently pushing your hairline back" is a myth.
Yes if you get shape ups too often (weekly) your barber would have to shape it up a little bit behind your natural hairline to make it look sharp but if you ease up on how frequent you get shape ups it will grow back. its hair.
