20M – unfortunately I was born with a mild syndrome. I don’t have many friends at the moment and I blame it on that. I really hope that my appearance doesn’t impact my life in terms of friendships and career.

Can’t speak for anyone else but I have interviewed lots of students and adults for my company and not once did appearance ever play a factor for me or for others. If you look around most organisations people come in all different appearances. Same with successful entrepreneurs. For most careers, talent and skill will determine success not appearance.
My buddy is hideous but he’s a body builder and really funny and gets tons of women, friends, and job opportunities.
A lot of it is confidence. 20 is a hard age, man. I remember when I was 20. A lot of insecurities. But we grow into our bodies, and they change, we mature, etc.
What type of syndrome we talking about?
Since we don’t know the syndrome, I’ll just say I have partial ais so I did not develop like a normal man and stuck out quite a bit. Although there was hazing in my youth, from a college age forward it’s not really bothered anyone in a personal setting. I still make friends pretty easy…the people that like the same things I like wont judge me or care much. It got a lot easier with time.
Professionally I hid things the best I could for a while, but I did recently make a post about this issue in the past it’s not caused an issue working, but I do feel like it gives me a harder bar to clear during the interview process.
