Discussion Cried myself to sleep because of my height

[Horror Kid]

you can make fun I wanna see what you would’ve said

No, I worded that wrong. Sorry, I am not a native speaker.

It is just that your worries sound really unfounded (presumably even more for people with way below average height) - but it sucks if it gives you sleepless nights.
I wish you that you can accept your body like it is.

I'm like 5'6 and pretty happy with it. I do feel like I'm from a different dimension though sometimes when I see other guys much taller than me who also look a lot older than me even though we're the same age.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

5'11 - was the tallest person in the last place I worked in my department, went on a trip to Toronto and felt small. Canadians are seriously tall, fucking hell.

 

[Zellia]

5'9

Doesn't really bother me too much, but I do wish I was shorter. Like 5'6 maybe.

I'm 6'2 and I don't think about it too much but honestly being tall isn't all that great all the time. It's really difficult to be tall and have good posture, my posture is shit. My body isn't very coordinated, I can't dance and I'm not good at sports because I'm too big. It's also absolutely awful in planes or bus trips, those seats aren't made for bigger people at all.

It also feels weird and not very fulfilling when I'm little spoon.

I would exchange quite a bit of my height for having a faster metabolism and a lean body, and not having to fight my weight my whole life. I feel like no clothes ever look good on me, and if I dress anything other than basic I look like a clown that draw all the attention in the room because I'm this huge person with flashy clothes and that just looks dumb.

Basically everyone feels miserable about something and no one's really happy about how they look.

 

[Brock Reiher]

you don't want to be too tall. anyone watching the ncaa tournament can see that not always a good thing imo

 

[Tomas]

6'1, so slightly above average here.

I’d say genetics matter a lot more then nutrition

It's the nutrition, the Dutch and Montenegrins are the tallest people because of their dairy consumption.

I’m 6’ but it could give the OP a couple inches, I would.

Anyone who judges someone based on height isn’t a worthwhile person.

I'm 6'3 and I absolutely hate it. I would gladly give you some of my height if I could just not stand out in a crowd. My personality type does not mesh with my height as I'm an introvert who wants to live a quiet life but I look pretty intimidating and stand out a lot.

The great Douglas Adams: “I have always been absurdly, ridiculously tall. To give you an idea- when we went on school trips to Interesting and Improving Places, the form-master wouldn't say "Meet under the clock tower," or "Meet under the War Memorial," but "Meet under Adams.”

He was six foot at age 12.

I have always been tall. It's a nightmare for me personally.

We are pretty much the same height would you really give me inchs

 

[Edengamer23]

I am about 6'1 and feel fairly tall in Canada, good height I guess

 

[Tron1]

Anyone else here relate to this problem? Sometimes it just bottles up and the best way to deal with it is just to cry it out.

I’m getting over it though I guess

OP, I hope you come to terms with your height. Life deals you cards that you have to play. My dad was 3 1/2 inches taller than me. My brother has his height and I don’t. I was younger always wondering why I wasn’t taller. As I grew I was able to love myself and my height. I hope the same for you.

Wait you are are 6'? Why did you cry yourself to sleep?

I was overtired mostly and also the title gets more clicks but is also true

Okay this is a weird thread now…
Being 6’ is not really something to complain about when so many men are under 5’6”.

This is like a skinny person making a thread and saying they cried about feeling too fat. Maybe you have body dismorphia?

Maybe update your OP to include that you are 6’? Because this topic isn’t about being short anymore it’s about mental health or something.

Being short isn't even about being short. It's about masculinity.

Edit: Sounds like a cliche, but let's be real. Talking about your dad. Comparing inches like you're dick measuring. Etc etc. Might as well say it bluntly.

I get it.

 

[bellydrum]

Maybe this would be more appropriate for a therapist than a gaming forum

Your right I think

 

[Enpsty]

I am 1.75, so I guess 5'9?
When I was at school I was considered medium height. Today every single 18 year old is like a giant next to me. Why is the new generation so tall?
Anyway I do feel short, but at the same time I think that if I was 18 today I would considered suuuuper short.

 

[Xaltmas]

5'6. Every woman I've been in a serious relationship has been taller than me, the longest being with a woman who was 6' lol.

Time for you to find a 6'5" woman, then.
