hey
i'm a straight 16 year old male, having a lot of body image problems right now. to start with my hips are ridiculously wide compared to my upper body (which is quite small, my rib cage is not wide and neithre are my shoulders), and also my waist bends inwards (so i have an hourglass-like shaped upper body), all of which are much more feminine than masculine. i have Pectus excavatum, not a very bad case, but i often have chest pains when im exercising and trying to take deeper breaths.
i can hardly look into the mirror nowardays even though i work out three times a week and im not fat. i feel this is all impacting my social life, i dont have a girlfriend ... what can i do???
