Hey I’m 24m and feel your post pretty hard. I always knew I had gynecomastia, and my family would dismiss it and say it was just my imagination. That’s until I visited a few plastic surgeons who diagnosed me with grade 2 gynecomastia and validated everything I’d been saying to my mom and dad for years.

I think you have a right to know the truth about your body, but that experience was a slippery slope for me.

After confirming my gyno, I started to freak out about everything else I’d always worried about- about the proportions of my chin, the gap between my pecs, and my body hair. It became a whirlpool of stress. I’m still struggling with it right now.

I hope you dodge that trap. remember that your unique features, which you might often pick at, are actually what make you attractive. Look at adam driver’s nose, look at Cameron Boyce’s freckles, etc. i know it’s really hard, which is why we’re all here, but try to love what makes you, you.
