Looks normal to me. I also have very prominent ribs, sometimes people think I am too lean because of it but that's just the way my body is. It never really bothered me otherwise!

Were you diagnosed with this condition and do they deem it serious enough for intervention?

Or was it Dr. Google?

Because my lower ribs are pretty prominent, too. Never occurred to me that it was even weird.

Now you won't be able to NOT see it...

I've always noticed they are prominent. Other people have noticed and even commented. It's never bothered me.

What do you think, @cmriverside? Noticeable lower ribs?

Noticeably beautiful lower ribs. ::oldschoolsmiley::



@jesspyre
I'm glad you found some peace over this in your last post. You are beautifully and wonderfully made. Not one body out there is perfection and anyone who mentions something about someone else's body is being rude.


I had a guy mention my feet once (I have an "issue") and I was so taken aback, so I get it. In hindsight I came up with this, "Oh, we're pointing out flaws in each other's bodies? I have a whole list for you. Where shall I start, top or bottom?"


What I said in the moment was, "How would you like it if I pointed out things about your body." That was probably the easier, kinder way. . .but I really almost WANT an opportunity to use that first one.
