Uncertain : This can depend on different reason. It may be the way you were born. You may have had an injury. It's best to discuss this with your physician and perhaps get imaging.

Subluxation: Have you injured it? At 21, it would be uncommon to have arthrosis there. One of the more common causes would be a subluxation of the joint between the clavicle and sternum, particularly if there has been a fall onto the extremity on that side. Sometimes it takes a ct scan to accurately make the diagnosis. I would not hesitate to be seen.
