This has bugged me for over 20 years. I am only 5'5 1/2" tall. For the longest time I thought I was 5'5" and 3/4", but I misunderstood the gym teacher when he told me my height in high school. Not that the extra half inch would have helped, but when I measured myself again a few years ago it was horrible realizing I'm barely over 5'5" tall. I can't even go places without being reminded how I don't measure up to anyone. 8th graders are taller than me. Many women are my height and taller. 9 out of 10 men are taller than me. I just don't like life, and I haven't liked it since I was 15 or 16 years old and realized how short I was compared to everyone else. I have struggled in every aspect of my life and it's no wonder I also have social anxiety and stick to my introverted hobbies (gaming, computers). I just wanted to say I really hate my height and I always have hated it and other people hate it too. To have to be a man at this height is impossible and my life will never be good. I knew this long ago and tried to tell my parents but they just tried to give me blue pill advice or told me to have pride. Pride in what? One time, when I finally got a girl interested in me, she was a landwhale, and my mother made a comment that I like "girls with bigger shapes." I said no I don't, those are the only girls interested in me. I just really hate life. I like reading the messages here, it makes me feel good to know that other people have similar problems and it's just not in my head.
