It's Over I was wrong, about my height, for years.

It's entirely unfounded because you provided no anchor for anything at all, from your generalization of all mentalcels as having x issue to how you think it should be treated. Compare the following two statements:

"The problem for the average mentalcel is that they can't come up with 'answers' for social scenarios, and the way to solve that is by talking on the phone more."

Vs:

"In my experience as a mentalcel who has x issue, I find that the apparent difference between me and normal people is y, and what I found helped me was z."

Do you see the difference?
I see the difference and I was not speaking to every mentalcel on the site. I was speaking specifically to OP who has clearly established himself as an articulate and good-humoured guy who has clear potential for something like this (I did actually establish that in the opening line of my post). Maybe I should have been clearer that this advice was targeted. I do think there are a fair few here who could benefit from it, though not all, obviously.
 
I used to think I was 173 cm (about 5 ft 8) but then I realised I was four cm shorter. Then I grew 1cm more. By that time I used to drink a lot of water and lay in bed for some time before going outside to make my disks as thick as possible before people saw me, I also used homemade insoles that were very poorly made. I was obsessed with my height.

watermaxxing boosts height?

It’s tough, but you are smart and you have a good sense of humour.
As to your question as to what NT is. NT is not the ability to appear normal. It is the ability to appear as if you are unphased by social situations, even if you aren’t.
Even normies will have moments within a conversation where someone says something that makes them uncomfortable and they have to mentally steady them self and search their mind rapidly for a good come back. Normies have different levels of ability when it comes to dealing with these mental tests and the more charismatic they are the better they can dodge the attack and deliver an effective retort.

The difference between your average mentalcel and a normie is that it doesn’t even take the other person saying something abrasive to make a mentalcel feel uncomfortable. All it takes is them saying something for which the mentalcel feels they don’t have an effective answer, which could be anything depending on how neurally AT the mentalcel is.

What needs to happen is that the mental cell needs to learn that they don’t have to impress their subject with every answer, and often it’s good to ask a question that leads on from the last thing the person said, so you can keep them doing the talking. Then if you can respond with exhibited interest in what they are saying (feigned or not) they will open themselves up and be more eager to continue the conversation (as everyone enjoys the feeling that they are an interesting person). Just be careful not to be too eager in this, a good move is to make an exaggerated facial expression telegraphing intrigue but to not go too overboard with the voice, keep that subtle.

What I recommend is that you get yourself into situations where you are speaking to people on the phone (obviously the face card cannot be played here but it’s okay to exaggerate your voice slightly more over the phone). With the visual aspect of conversation removed a lot of people feel much more comfortable. Do this as much as possible until you have acclimatised yourself to the techniques and then hopefully you can begin to incorporate them in your face to face interactions in daily life.
If that is how you define NT, then I can confidently say I am far from it. :lul:
I can hold a decent conversation once in a while, but the context has to be right. 90% of the time, the normal socializing and small talk I have to do on a daily basis goes poorly. No matter the encounter, I almost always have a new memory to haunt me and cringe at as I look back on it.

That is a good strategy to take. I use to be at a point where I would struggle to even get out a word, but through experience, I can generally hold my own as I speak, at least make small talk long enough to survive. It's something you can improve, to a degree, for sure.


But you didn't BECOME shorter, you were always this short, so your life won't get any worse than it already was. It's not like they ask you how tall you are at a job interview, they SEE how tall you are. So your lot in life hasn't changed one bit, you've just stopped deceiving yourself.
I know. It still hurts to learn you are an even lower being than you thought you were, though. Around 5'6. 5'7, even though it's short, I feel like its just on the threshold of being percieved as some sort of human. 5'4 though? I now know the world see's me as far worse than I thought, originally. :feelscry:
 
FKING HELL, IT LOOKS LIKE I WAS TOO!!!

Please try OP, you may have it stacked against you appearance-wise but I promise you are funny, your self-deprocating humour is really endearing. There are those in your situation physically who don’t have that potential. Despite all the battles you have to face for your physical appearance you at least have this weapon in your arsenal, you just need to develop your ability to get your ideas out at conversational speed because with the luxury of time you receive to express yourself on this forum you are already set.
 
jfl I can understand 1 inch but how can you even misfraud it by 2 inches

Fair enough as far as it being a targeted response, but again your rhetoric was that your post was about "the average mentalcel" which doesn't even make sense to bring into such a context. I just didn't see anything in the OP that would lead you to make the conclusions you made about what his form of mentalceldom may be and therefore how your advice could apply, so I thought you were talking out your ass. Just to explain why I had the misperception of your intended message.

Those are heartening words, much appreciated. I hope you are right.

What? Get a hold of yourself man, elab
after reading this post I decided to measure my height. Turns out I'm 2 inches shorter than I last checked. Everyday is more suicide fuel, I truly hate this community

2 inches, the same? Hah, what horrible coincidence. What height are you, and did you think, you were? Fear not, I won't sperg out at you for being tall, if you are.

Well that's kind of what I meant when I said cope. The difference between 5'6'' and 5'4'' is negligible. Women still maintain eye contact without looking up, men still look down (on average). Don't drive yourself crazy over this subjective perceptual change.

fuck, my deepest condolences bro. And here I was complaining about being a few inches shy of 5'8" smh
 
Gremlin? More like Gremlet :kys:

apparently I'm 6'0. I knew something was wrong when @Tellem-T said he was 6'4 but looked noticeably taller than me

your intervertebral disks are made of water, if you drink a lot of water they will absorb some, anyways the difference is minimal, 1 or 2 milimeters top, but as I said I was obsessed with height and every milimiter counted.
 
says 5'10'' on my DL more lik 5'8''

r.i.p. little gremlinboi its over

CHAD OUT

JK, props to having the balls to say this in a thread with these undertones. Low inhibcels are fascinating to me.
 
I'm sorry, boyo. Hope your soul finds peace someday.
 
For what reason would you want to know your exact height? Be it 5'6 or 5'4 it never began either way, especially with face below 8/10.
 
wow apparently i'm 6'7", i was just measuring incorrectly???
