This is a case of a physical defect ~ not so bad IMHO ~ that has mental side effects. Your friend needs to seek help with living with this condition and being a Happy Camper in life. I would suggest a therapist or some kind of support group ~ not sure which one tho ~ for help with coping skills. Even the most "together" people have some body issue they cope with daily. This is definitely a unique body issue with which to cope, I agree, however it breaks my heart to think of his struggles and I have no way to really help him feel better :cry2: I wish he were near me so I could help him build some confidence thru being there for him to talk, at least.
