Is it normal that my right thumb is slightly disifgured?

My right thumb is a little fatter than my left, and the nail is a lot wider and shorter. It's been like this since 4th grade, when I seriously jacked up my thumb knuckle and tore a tendon. I just want to know if other people think it is weird or if they just don't really care. Please remember that it is like this because I hurt my thumb, and not because I was born like that. I'll upload pictures.

Is It Normal?

    It's not normal in so much as most people haven't had disfiguring injuries to their thumbs.

    It's normal that your thumb is disfigured after it was seriously injured, however.

    People probably don't care. I was born with bent pinkies, people notice but it doesn't bother anyone.

    I'd bet dollars to donuts most people aren't observant enough or interested enough to notice.
    Most people are so self absorbed that they can't remember a stranger's name for 5 minutes, so why would they notice your thumbs, if you don't bring them to their attention.

    When I was in my early twenties I had a boyfriend whose thumbs didn't match either but I honestly never thought to ask why.
