Are you insecure about your height?

Question

One of the biggest insecurities most people have today is because of their height are you insecure about your height? Me personally I’m 5’11 or 182cm so basically 6ft tall and I’m happy with my height but it seems like a lot of people aren’t

I'm 6'4" (~193 cm) basically on the mark. (A recent doctor's visit put me at like 6'6," but I had shoes on, so it didn't really count.) I won't say that my height is absolutely ideal (with it being borderline too tall), but I wouldn't say that I'm insecure about it or anything of the sort. 6'4" is alright, and I'm happy with it. I don't see much of a point being unsatisfied with it either given as how I'm stuck with it.

Granted, I'm glad I'm not any taller and that I'm at least taller than my sister (who is a little past 6'). Now that I think of it, I think I'm strangely taller than everyone in my [abnormally large] extended family apart apart from one uncle who married in.

Overall I think it usually works out well. Women tend to be shorter, men taller. Men like women to be shorter, women usually like the guy to be taller. I am 6' 3". For me, the "perfect" range for women is 5' 7" to 5' 10". but I would be fine with her being up to 6' tall. I have never come across a woman that I was interested in that was that tall. I have dated a few that were 5' - 5' 2". That was just too short and it was a little awkward. But if she is the right one, not so bad that it is a deal breaker.

Not really. I'm short, but so are plenty of other people in the world. And sure, I see lots of short girls say how their dreams of being models can only be dreams, but there are thousands of other trades out there which don't care about height, so I'd rather aim for one of those trades.

I'm about 156-159cm I'm not really sure anymore, but if grow taller that would be nice, and if I don't there's no point crying about it because being short can also have its advantages, as does being tall.

Yes. I'm 5'2, and thats below average for the UK (5'4 is average here).

Its embarrassing to me because I was never short as a child for my age. I was actually slightly taller than most girls. So when I was around 14 I started to realise everyone is growing taller. And since then it's been a whole new characteristic of myself to accept and get use to.

I hate it. I would like to be around 5'5 ideally.

This is the one physical aspect of myself that I have never been insecure about. I'm tall, and have been even as a kid. I was and still am teased relentlessly about it, people came up with nicknames about my height, but oddly enough, despite being made fun of the most for it, that never bothered me. I loved and still love my height. I really wish I could feel that way about all of me, but if this is the one thing, then I'll definitely take it.

I am 5'9 and am very happy with my height. I have noticed people's insecurities too. It effects more young people though, like a lot of insecurities. As you get older you accept who you are more and stop caring what others think as much.

kaitlincharmed · Answer

Salmon4056 · Answer

No, I love my height. I was once insecure about it in the 6th grade because I was one of the tallest or the tallest girl amongst the six graders and some girls questioned about me possibly being held back a grade because I was so tall.

Blondegirlll · Answer

LOL yes of course i’m so tall i hate it!! I’m 5’11” and it’s really hard especially since i’m a teenager and I just feel awkward. I know people don’t don’t care as much as i do but people ask me my height in grocery stores, hanging out at the mall, in a group setting and by teen boys. I feel embarrassed and i can’t hide from it.

Tslaveee · Answer

Women shame men for not being tall enough for them “DONT bother if you’re less less than 5’10”  But if a guy says “don’t bother unless you’re less than 150lbs“ women lose their shit

I'm 160cm (5'3) and I'd love to be at least 165cm but it seems like that will never happen. I am insecure about my height, but as literally everyone around me is taller, I'm getting used to it.
