Coping With Brachymetatarsia

Yes, I was born with Brachymetatarsia It didnt bother me so as I was a young one. But as I got older, I realized that it was anything but normal. By 15, I became more social and had more friends. I became more open about showing it to my female friends but never to any males. I feared that they wouldnt understand and would tease me. When I realized that people would tease me about it, I strayed away from wearing sandals and flip flops or any open toed shoe. I am now 19 and recently found out that one of my male cousins has the same things. I was so glad to know that I wasnt the only one. Now I really dont care, I started wearing flip flops in public last year. So far I have gotten so comfortable that I start wearing them in my college classes. Its no biggie, when you are around mature people. But still yet I have problems wearing heels with straps across the feet. My little toe just wont act right. I wouldnt change it for the world though. I have lived with it this long. I’m happy.
