You may have a condition called pectus carinatum, where the breastbone sticks outward. It’s generally harmless but can cause body image concerns and social anxiety. Therapy can help you cope with the emotional and social discomfort. With proper care and confidence-building support, you can manage both physical and psychological effects.
