very upset

I am fed up with this gyne crap. Is the gyne connected to anything (veins, etc.) inside my chest. I am thinking about getting a razor blade or something and cutting and pulling the sh*t out myself.

Hey Bro, I know it's frustrating to have gyne but you can do something about it. I had it for 20 years and just got the operation 8 mths ago. It can be corrected, don't go to that extreme. How old are you?

I'm 21 college student. Ive had it since i was 13 or so. I have 2 major problems. I have gyne, and if I don't work out the gyne will definetly be the most prominant feature I have. So I started lifting weights. I use whey protein and I was taking creatine for about a month (one big bottle of powder). Now I have pretty nice size arms and shoulders (mostly naturally wide shoulders). I don't want anyone thinking I use steroids. However, If I don't lift weights and improve my body, I will be small and skinny with gyne.. So its either be skinny and have gyne (like its been for years)... or be big and have gyne, but have people think I use steroids.. I don't know what to do I feel helpless as hell.

Take action, consult medical advice, and get them removed once and for all!  You'll be so much happier.  I wish I had taken charge when I was your age!  I would have suffered 10 years less than I have, but at 30, I finally did it and I'm so glad.  Best of luck

I'd take it as a compliment if someone thought I was on steroids and I was really natural.  Stay big 'til you get the surgery.  Go book a consult.

Definately take it as a compliment if someone thinks you use steroids and don't. Laugh if someone says that. Who cares. You know the truth. I did use steroids and couldn't care less about people pointing at me. I rather liked it myself. But hey that's just me. What would have made me feel better is people still pointing and making accusations if the truth was I never did use. That's the only thing that would have made it better. Be proud you have a physique good enough for people to think that. That's just jealousy talking bro. As for your gyne, don't go to rash decisions. Go see a GP and plastic surgeon as well as an endocrinologist. Get yourself fixed the right way. It can be fixed bro!

Thanks for the encouragement and support. That makes me feel alot better.
