    I've always wondered why my sternum wasn't quite even. Mine is no whereas bad as yours, and hasn't really affected performance imbalance (though there's a large visual imbalance). Going to the gym was the best thing I've done, and I hope it's the same for you!

    if you wouldn't have mentioned it, I wouldn't have even noticed it directly. We all have little things that go wrong, and improving is always better than doing nothing

    Bro, people are almost NEVER "picture perfect" and symmetrical. A lot of people have one eye set lower than the other, one arm is longer, etc. Bodybuilder's "perfection" is a VERY unhealthy goal, as they go to extremes to look like they do for 30 minutes on stage. Honest bodybuilders will post "real" vs "mirror/posing" pictures from the same day, looking very different, showing how unrealistic those internet standards are. Body dysmorphia has gotten crazy because of those "influencers" showing off - and a lot of them are juicing or on the verge of mental breakdowns when they stop looking 100%. David Laid said himself that he would take 100's of pic just to post ONE. Stop comparing yourself to some fleeting "standard" that is very hard to obtain, and impossible to maintain. IMO, you look very athletic, healthy and fit. You look better than 99.99% of other people your age. If you havent pointed out that you have that disorder, I dont think I would even notice. Yes, I know, being self-conscious is a terrible curse, but from my standpoint of internet chair general, you look f-n great. You should workout because you want to better yourself for *you*, not for eyes of other beholders. Just my $0.02

      I agree with you bro. I definitely got into the gym because I cared about what other people think... but id like to believe that im mainly doing it now to prove to myself that I can and just for general mental and physical health.

    Bro, have some respect for yourself. By calling it a deformity, you are quite literally degrading yourself. I would call it an 'anomaly', which sets a better tone to define your unique body. You look good, but I agree with you about building muscle. Not to 'mask' your chest, but to get a better physique in general. Would you believe that there are people that wished they had something that sets them apart from everyone else, without deviating from their natural attractiveness? Because that's what you got. You are still naturally attractive and your chest does not change that. You have it psychologically imbedded in your brain to look at it as a negative thing because you were always the 'odd one' out of everyone. All the questions coming from peers, especially at younger ages, can really affect a persons psyche moving forward into their later years. You look great! But still, build some muscle. Don't indulge yourself in negative thoughts about unique anomaly on your chest. I grew up looking like I had a hickey on my neck/chest area. Always got weird looks. And occasionally some terrible assumptions.

      Damn bro, that's definitely made me think about the way I perceive it. really appreciate the comment

    Sounds like a purely cosmetic deformity, it isn't grotesque, and you seem to be a good-looking guy in most every other way, so this seems pretty minor, but any excuse to self improve is good. My chest is similar but I never went to the doctor for it. It was disappointing for me to realize I'll never have an aesthetic chest when I started lifting, and I've felt disappointed in my body when a friend has told me it looked off while I was posing, so I can relate. Tbh it's kind of encouraging to see you shirtless, think "nah he's still a good looking guy" and then realize mine isn't worse than yours. Keep hitting the gym though, bro, get the eyes off your torso and onto your upper pecs, delts, tris and bis!
