Dear Eric:

In your most recent post, you wrote in regard to your protruding collarbone, a result of your diagnosed scoliosis, that you are currently “pretty sure it’s caused by the way I’m sitting“-

– this means that all my efforts in the two pages of your thread to explain to you (accompanied by websites information) that scoliosis cannot be caused by sitting have failed.

“I only start blaming after the bulge appears” – all my efforts to have you consider that you are not to blame for your scoliosis have failed.

I hope that you re-read my posts to you and consider what I boldfaced in italics, right above. I have nothing to add to your thread following this post. I hope that other members answer you here, on this thread, or on a new thread that you may choose to start.

In regard to you finding love- of course it is possible for a person suffering from scoliosis and a protruding collarbone to find love, as it already happened for many people. Being dissatisfied with one’s body is very common unfortunately, even among people with seeming perfect bodies. You are not alone with your body-dissatisfaction.

I hope that you will soon be okay with your body. My best wishes to you.
