What is your worst gynecomastia memory :'(

[canhasfitness]

I don't have really bad memories, as I've always hid it but I've been made fun of from a friend (he only mentioned it in passing, it wasn't intended to hurt but it kinda did :S)

We all experience the slouching thing I think! And the wind blowing against you when you're walking down the street. It really, really sucks!

Wearing a hoodie in 25 degree (Celsius) weather, sweating profusely and being asked to take it off

Jez, this thread is scary because I've gone through so many of the things people have written about.

I first found out about my moobs freshmen year wrestling. I was very small, btw. I wrestled in the lightest weight class(103 pounds), so my moobs probably showed more. We had to strip down to our underwear to get weighed in and everyone started laughing and making fun of me. I had to have my shirt off a lot. It didn't really bug me too much until later on.
I never went to the pool or beach pretty much from then on. Also was very selective on the shirts I wore.

I decided to join the military and got made fun of a whole lot. Just a few months, back I was discussing the movie black swan with one of the tsgts and I was saying how hot mila kunis and natalli portman is... finally, the tsgt goes to me and is like "they got no boobs, hell... you got bigger boobs than them"

Just stuff like that.. the occasional bra jokes, too.

After reading so many stories, my memory has jogged itself even more... I remember going to England and visiting my cousin at a camp site, where there was a big sized pool. He had brought a long a friend call Kenneth, and as the day dragged on I now remember being teased constantly by this guy - giving me nipple cripples, grabbing my moobs, but worst of all holding me underwater too. I think I had forgotten as I was very young, maybe 5 or 6, and I didn't think it occurred to me then.

I think by the time I was 12 I had realised I wasn't "normal" either, and was scared to go swimming by then. A computer became my next best friend, and in turn began the long road to the geek I am today. I remember googling around a lot and coming across gynecomastia, but I wasnt sure if I had it or it was just fat. I think I may have even found this site, and I emailed an admin giving my story - he said if I had had it since I so young, then yes it was gyne. To any long term admins on here, im talking what must be 5+ years, I want to say thank-you: you possibly gave me what seems like really bad news, but it was a sudden realisation I needed perhaps to avoid future embarassing situations.

hello guys a worst story well i don`t really have one as of yet. i have had gyn since about 11 and have  only recently been diagnosed  and confirmed by an Eno doc so i could have my Brain MRI and blood work covered by my health insurance. my wife is understanding and so are my two girls that are at home.we all even go Bra shopping together. the only time i can remember was in school during a shirts/ skins touch footbal game when one of the guys thought it would be cool to grab a boob instead of a flag , after i body slamed him and grabbed his jewels explaining that if he or any of the other boys thought they would have fun at my expence i would rip their parts off. yes i was a tough guy and did not take any crap from anyone. same goes for today i wear a sports bra daily and to sleep and really don`t care if anyone notices it.i have a hard shell .and am comfortable with my body image even though i am on the chunky side [ yeah fat].i know not everyone has a hard exterior or not easily offended but to those guys that are strugling hang in there boys you have my support [ at least mentally ] don`t be discouraged .if you need some one to talk to there are many good doctors on here.

My worst.......I was 16-17 .We went to a nice hotel for summer holiday with relatives,cousins .....By the way that was my last time I swam...Actually I didn't want to go but they insisted too much and I couldn't say no so I thought I would go for this 1 week holiday and could make some tricks when the rarely times  I swam....The best thing was that ...At hotel's beach there was a long pier and  I saw that the first day , I thought, ok this had to be very easy  

This was the simple plan ......I would never take off my shirt at the beach , not make sun bath or vs .... Just walk to the end of the pier, take off the shirt ,jump the water, swim as much as I want and climb the ladder from back of the pier which could not be seen from the beach and quickly wear the shirt....And then walk to the beach with the shirt on ....Very simple ...

First day , second day , third day no problem ...The plan was working perfect , nobody was seeing me naked at the beach  cause I was very quick to take off and jump the sea...Furthermore I was far to the beach on the edge of pier and was waiting the right time that nobody on the pier and in the sea near it .....

That was the day .....I walked ,jumped into the sea ,swam,climbed the ladder quickly and guess what ?   .......Yes  ...The t-shirt was not there..This was my little plan's weakness..It  might have stolen ......Ok then I understood that my brother weared it and went .....But this is not our point ....

I haven't seen it and my heart went like crazy , I am telling you I realized that was not true and I was in a dream or what ....I couldn't even think what to do .If I jumped to the sea , how much time I would swim ...So I said to me that ok be strong , and I raised my arms like I was scratching my hair cause that way they would look less ugly and started to walk to the beach on the pier .....I thought that I might find it there at the beach ..I asked and they said that he, my brother weared it and went to the room....I looked around and there was no shirt or something to wear ....Even I thinked to steal someones shirt first time in my life but that was impossible for me at the beach .....Again I raised my arms to my hair and started to walk to the road which is aproximately 250 meter to the room ..At this road from the beach to the hotel rooms , I had to pass the first pool at the side , then the small bridge which was on the pool and the second pool which was very close the rooms ....First pool's location was not very bad for me but second pool was at the middle and I had to walk from the middle of the pool between the people who were near sitting , lying and swimming at the pool....

Started to walk the road ...This was the longest way of my life even if it was 250-300 meters ...... Passed the first pool which was at the left side , walked on the bridge and there was a last obstacle for me, that second pool.... I was praying inside that there was't anyone at the pool cause it was the lunch time  and most of the people had to go the eating .....And yessss , my guess was right , was just a couple of people at there and no one noticed me , I sneaked quickly  and entered the room sections .... Went up one floor and at the room section it was silent all the time , everyone was at beach,pool or whatever ....And I succeded ,I was in front of the room and this nightmare had to be ended ....But the nightmare was starting new ...I knocked the door and no voice ...Knocked again and again and again but nobody was in the room ...I have been told that my brother was in the room ....But no he was not ....Waited some time.... So two options at this situation ...Wait in front of the room naked for coming of somebody whenever comes to room ....and other ,turn back and walk the same road again .....Ok this was not hard to choose ...I walked the road naked one time and I could walk it again with the same method ...Raising arms to the head like scratching my hair during walking this 250 meter ....


I went back and this time the dangerous pool was the first .....I started to walk, came near to that pool and there was a couple of people at 30's ages was sitting there ...I wish I didn't look their faces cause by the way I had not seen them.....But I looked at them when I was walking at  the pool site..... I realized something then saw that guy was pointing me to his friends with a big laugh.....His friends started to laugh  ....But you had to see his reaction ...He was  digging,pocking,pushing his friends ..Look at that, look at that ...I went on to the beach and weared my shirt cause my brother was there at the beach but it was too late ......This was my last for going to a summer holiday ....

I would say my worst gynecomastia memory is when my friends all came together on a mission to find out why i never take off my jacket even though its boiling hot ouside. Wen i tried to avoid the question, they kept on insisting that i answear the question. I had to leave feeling like an idiot. Another horrible memory is all the times i had to ditch my friends when they would go to the beach, each time i would come up with a new excuse y i couldnt go until eventualy they just gave up on me. Another time i was by a friends house and i had just waked 20 minutes in the heat to get there and at the table i was sweating and the mother told me feel comfortable take off ur jacket, and i was like no its ok im cold but the sweat dripping down my face was saying the exact opposite. are you sure??? take it off!!!! horrible dayss!!!, i just got the surgery this morning, i had an intense session of liposuction, i had some glandular tissue but most of it was fat so the lipo worked just fine, well atleast i think i didnt take of the compression vest yet. but i do feel like a new person.
Do what it takes to get the surgery, no matter the results u still will be wayyyyyy happier than you are now, its a win win situation.

[pharmerjoe]

exactly, I have faced this problem of having to wear thick, baggy clothes all the time, even in hot weather. I have ended up making myself look very weird and sometimes I was quite smelly as well. My friends kept making jokes, like saying I must be a robot or something, cos I never feel the heat, and just wear same types of clothes. I've incidently, never been to the beach, or gone swimming since I left school, and I can't remember a time in the past 10 years that I walked in public,with one layer on. Thank god I am getting surgery, because I really cannot live like this anymore.

An Asian massage lady cupped mine while giving massage and said: wow, bigger than mine!!!!

[805spec]

I was an international student in Spain and wound up hooking up with a Russian girl.  While we were having sex she tells me my breasts are bigger than hers.  OUCH!  I was offended but oh well I kept going.

[snowleopard]

I feel for you guys... you can't understand the feeling if you never went though this.
now I was forced to take one month vacation from work... it just couldn't be worse(actually it always can be worse...) in august.
I have no idea how I am going to bail out going to the beach... so it seems my worst memories are yet to happen ;(((
at least I finally got the money and I will be scheduling the surgey for sometime this year. just wanna wish best of all to everyone... don't stop fighting.

When I was about 12 or so, I was a part of a cultural dance group (my parents made me join). This group had many different classes divided by age groups. My class consisted of teenagers and we were to choreograph, along with the adult class (men, fathers from 30-45 years old), a dance for a competition. Anyways, even though practices got me sweating heavily, I always insisted on wearing a sweater. This time, though, as we were practicing with the adults, I was forced to take the sweater off (wearing a tight T-shirt underneath). I was used to the taunting by my peers, the teenagers in my own class, but when a few of the adults (grown ass men with children of their own) mocked me, pointing out my deformity very specifically, It truly fucked me up. A 12 year old boy surrounded by adults, thinking it was just kids that were immature only to be bullied by an adult.

Also, I used to play soccer (and swim, though I stopped that for obvious reasons) for many years as a kid. I had to stop after the ``shirts vs. skins`` routine kept popping up, where I would always be chosen skin (skins play without shirts) and three faked stomach aches later, no more soccer.

Having my nipples squeezed and being asked for a chocolate milkshake by the girl i liked. I cried all night. I had a knife out , I was ready to mutilate my chest.  But im 13. The greatest sh*t is gonna come in high school. Changing room, shirts and skins, and bullying goes to a complete new level. Hopefully i get surgery, cause I'm extremely anxious/depressed.

Anyone else have bad gynecomastia memories they want to share? Any of you new people?

As opposed to the 'good memories' of Gynecomastia? 

Sorry dude, couldn't resist that one!

   HAHAHAHAHA yeah good memories. Amazing gyne memories to cherish. lol

I know man the best part of this site is knowing there is other people going through the same things you are, it makes you feel so much better, this site is a blessing for all of us.
My advice is talk to your parents dude! If you know them and know they would support you, and they have approached you about it then just go ahead and talk to them, what i did was write a letter explaining how i felt and hand it to them, after that it was easy to talk about it, i had their full support and its been a couple of years since my surgery. Best decision i ever made!

I had the same situation. I got to the point where I couldn't stand wearing layers upon layers of clothes. I made the decision to lose a ton of weight first, about 5o pounds. I researched and researched, found this site, and I found a doctor I liked and made a consultation for the following week. Then I called my mom and told her what I had done, and she totally supported me. I booked the surgery for a few weeks later. The anticipation killed me.

She had planned to come up to visit me, out of state, for a week, and she's a nurse so she ended up taking care of me after the surgery. Three and a half years later and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!

This woman that I hit it off with, reached up and touched my chest and asked me what I had in my shirt pocket. I told her nothing. The next day she never answered my phone calls or texts. This just happened to me a day ago. I am going to get them cut off. I am tired of being rejected because I have this condition. I have lived with this for to long.
