First off, you are not alone. The embarrassment can wear down the strongest mindsets and for me, totally altered the way I approached certain social activities. For me anything “shirt off” was out of the question. Having any confidence about finding or being with a new girl or woman was near zero. I also found I was getting better at coming up with the quick witty comebacks from the sarcastic remarks from some of my closest friends. My comebacks might have made me seem like the words didn’t affect me, but there’s no denying that it was actually killing me inside. As a single guy, my guess is that being married with the problem might make it easier do deal with, but equally as demeaning i’m sure.

Let me say this, and I can tell you from experience, if you have gynecomastia, also known as the sarcastic reference, “man boobs” or “moobs” for a long time, I feel your pain. It really altered my personality and I would feel totally introverted or quiet around people, and that’s a far cry from when I was once very outgoing. Trust me when I tell you that the end of the world is not yet here, although for me, I used to think it was till I found what worked for me.
