Any other adult females with microtia?
I have never ever seen or met anyone else with it. I always thought I had this rare thing happen to me when I was a kid until I finally learned a name for it only last year! Talk about late find in life! I always happen to look at peoples ears whenever I’m in public, hoping to find someone else who has the same. But I never have and I don’t wear my hair up because I’ve been bullied and we live in a pretty ignorant world. Let’s be honest, and I would rather avoid any nasty comments. I’m glad to have found this group. I’ve never talked to anyone about this. I was afraid of ever getting married. I would never wear my hair up then either cause I didn’t want my husband to see him my comments. Eventually, I talk to him about it and how much it bothered me since I was little. Thankfully, it didn’t pass on to my child, but I was so worried about it. I try not to look at it badly, but it’s hard not to when you were bullied so bad in school over it. I thought small ears were better than big ears apparently you can’t win. :( I’m trying to embrace it, but I won’t lie. It’s really hard and I wish I knew someone else who also had this. I’ve seen pictures of little babies who do but not other adult adults in their 30s like me. I hope I can accept it one day my mom always reassured me. They look fine, but I’m already dealing with low self-esteem so they don’t really help. Anyways, I just thought it would be really great to meet someone else who also has this.
