6'2", but insecure about my height?

[Anonymous]

I'm not super tall but I am a bit taller than normal yet all I think about is being taller. When I stand next to someone I always compare my height and when I see a guy my height I try to get as close as possible to see who is taller without them noticing. I even have dreams where I'm short and I'm not even at peoples shoulder level.

I know I got a good height but it's just on my mind all the time, I love everything about my body but this is the only thing I really don't get why I obsess over it that much.

I guess it's kinda like an anorexic sees fat in a mirror even tho they are very thin, I see myself as short.

Also, I would like to add it has nothing to do with being taller for sports, I don't even like basketball or football, only hockey lol.

I'm a girl an I'm 5'11"

I think you have a really nice height. I'm always looking for taller guys but they're hard to find.

Just accept it. there's nothing really you can do about it except for breaking both of your legs so they grow longer. But do you want that?

In the Netherlands? :O that's surprising, the netherlands has the tallest men in the world

[ashly0015]

Yup I know.

maybe it's just the city I live in.

Anything over 6 foot is sexy in my book :D until it gets freakish like 6 foot 11 or something :O

[Asker]

That's the thing, I picture myself as 7 foot, I don't know why. I mean I can see if I liked basketball that I would like to be that height but I can't stand the sport.

Are a lot of the people you associate with shorter than you?

[Asker]

My brother is 6'1". my dad is 6'0", most of my friends are under 6 foot. I didn't choose them as friends because they were shorter, I grew up with them and we've been friends for over a decade.

[Opinion Owner]

huh...maybe you feel so much taller because your friends are shorter than you. You hang with them a lot so those are the people you mainly compare with? I'm 5'9, my tallest friend is 5'4, so I feel like I'm 8 feet tall around them.

I'm 6'2" and I feel short as well. I just deal with it.

[Asker]

Do you compare yourself to others around your height too?

[Shaun]

I don't compare to the shorter guys, only the taller ones. So yeah.

[GoWebGo]

If you feel short at 6'2" then you can't be 6'2" lol

[chinagirl72]

yea lots of guys are jealous of tall guys hahah and you are sexy ladys love tall guys ..stop complaining heheh

[foreverme]

I think a lot of guys wish they were as tall as you. Nothing to worry about:)

[helgapataki]

you're height is normal. infact a lot of women prefer tall guys than short guys. you should feel lucky for yourself.

[Anonymous]

lol, it's one of those things you just have to learn to accept. You can't change your height so just accept it.

[Asker]

I know, it's not like it's preventing me from living a normal, it's just I think about it almost everyday. I'm 19, I know I won't be growing anymore and if I do is won't even be noticeable to the naked eye.

[Opinion Owner]

Well if you know then don't obsess over it.

[lolli]

Lots of short guys would love to trade places with you.

[erekmax]
