I always carry my bag on one shoulder. Lately, that shoulder feels like it’s drooping. When I look in the mirror, the two sides seem to be at different heights. Carrying the bag on the other shoulder feels even more uncomfortable. I’m not sure if it’s because of the weight or my posture.

If your shoulders look uneven in the mirror and one feels lower, it’s likely that the weight of your bag, combined with long-standing postural habits, has disrupted the alignment of your muscles and bones.
The reason it feels more uncomfortable when you carry your bag on the opposite side is that the muscles around your body’s center and your nervous system have already become asymmetrically altered to suit the established direction.
Please use a backpack or alternate sides, even if carrying it on the opposite side feels uncomfortable.
