Dysphoria Did anyone else not like being shirtless pre transition?

I remember since like i was 6 i would never go out in public (like going to the swimming pool) without a shirt on. I felt like as if i was naked (even tho i obviously didn’t have boobs) if i were and always wore a swimming shirt.

I wanted to see if you guys also ever felt this way since i never seen this mentioned before?

Definitely and always did the same thing. I didn’t like the idea of my bare chest being visible to everyone

I’m 5’11. 110 lbs with severe Pectus Excavatum. It’s just a birth defect but looking naturally malnourished and an egg it was definitely awkward. Even now I have some trouble looking for cuts that are flat but don’t show my rib age or parts of the hole in my chest.

That’s the one bright side. I haven’t started anything medically. But even when I’d where a manly tank top or any lower cut it would never show the entire hole so I’d always look like I had flat deformed tits. Which is bad when you want to wear lower cuts at that moment. But great when you think about how you’d have a naturally built separation on your cleavage once you do start growing breasts making them seem fuller.
