20 yo been working out since 15 but didnt really start lifting until like 5 months ago is when i started deadlifting and squatting.
if you look at the front picture you can see my shoulders are very uneven in terms of their placement. like the muscle sizes are probably about the same but they are positioned very differently and it is driving me absolutely insane. seriously.
my left side is my good side (also dominant arm side), but i hate my right side.
i started deadlifting (135x5) 5 months ago and have gotten up to 275x5 and i dont think my shoulder posture has improved at all really.
my other lifts are ohp120x1, frontsquat 175x1, pullup+45lb, upright rows 90x6,
i want to believe it will get better if i just "keep lifting" but im having doubts.
im hoping someone here can at least see what im talking about.
yes i probably have body dis morphia.
but these flaws are definitely there even if its not as bad as i think it is.
my left shoulder is definitely placed higher than my right. and its posture is very different from my right. how do i fix this crap.

im glad u see what im talking about.
ive got great mobility, ive been doing like 1000 repetitions of facepulls, full range of motion front raises with bands, upright rows, every day for the past few months trying to fix this issue.
i think it has improved somewhat since i started trying to fix it.
one tightness i do get quite often is in my right lat and right pec i need to keep stretching my lat.
because of this i literally dont bench anymore - only ohp - because whenever i bench i feel it all in my right pec and none in my left pec, and all my left delt/tri and none in my right delt/tri.
i used to see a chiro once every 2 weeks but havent gone in like a year.
i think i need to revisit.

For bench, it could be form, or you can try using dumbbells. It is slightly noticeable, but only because you pointed it out; maybe a trip to the doc/chiro to make sure no issues are there like scoliosis or something. That said, people are generally not symmetrical, you left/right sides just are different in most cases. It could just be the way you are, and I doubt anyone will notice unless you stand still and have the deliberately look for it.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.
1/13/16: Massive hernia.
5/10/16: Finally back to lifting, light but improving.
