How has your height affected you throughout your life? has it made you more confident/less confident, and why?

[Lynx122]

I've never really thought about it. I got bullied when I was 12-14 and I only started growing a lot when I was 16-17 so by the time I was tall I was emotionally damaged and I didn't feel confident at all. I've been working through it for a long time, now I do feel pretty confident maybe people do fuck with me less because I'm big but I don't really know. For me it's more about my mental health and working through things that are holding me back I don't think about my height or how it's affecting my life.

I'm 66 now, so my body's starting to shrink. But in my prime, I was 6'2" and have always had broad shoulders, and exercised regularly, so I've always looked pretty big and fit. This has caused lots of shorter, smaller people to be aggressive towards me, and although I'm a pacifist by nature, I've had to defend myself more often than i'd liked. That said though, I'm happy to be the height I am, and was.

I have to shorten the vast majority of my clothes and sometimes even x-small shirts do not fit me.

Also, I have to work my way up to the front of a concert, or else I won't see anything.

5"3 almost meet the average requirement. For some reason I always thought I was average height but now im considered between short & average🤦🏻‍♀️

[Daviddd5412]

Honestly I've never even thought about it. I'm 5'9 though so I guess I'm the average height.

Why do you wish you were taller?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I earned accolades to prove and support my confidence in myself. I'm only 5'2" and often felt upset at myself for a lack in preferred height but I never felt insecure for being short since I more than made up for it in many other ways.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Nope.
I am just 162cm tall and this usually means discounts on tailored suits.
Plus I'm not afraid of taking on both women and men way taller than me.

[Thatoneasian]

Nope but I don’t feel insecure about my height. In my race I’m above average but I still would like to be taller

[Diversity_Hire]

I'm 6'5" and it's a blessing and a curse. On one hand I can reach the top shelf; on the other hand I hit my head on everything. Add to that a lot of people are intimidated by my size, and that sucks.

[Hanoi_Jane00]

Yeah I'm short too. Funny thing is that I won't date guys under 6ft

[Jamie05rhs]

I am an average height, so my height has never had any affect on me whatsoever.

[Lucious22]

It’s always been a confident booster, I am 6,1 and it’s really just been a positive through my life

[bklynbadboy1]

I'm very tall but I love it the only time it really effected me is when I play sports

[Luckycharms12]

Im 5f11 never had any complaints don't want to be bigger or smaller

[msc545]

It has made me less confident, thanks to women who reject anyone under 6' tall.

[NatalieKeller95]

I'm 5'1 and I'm fine with it

Good things come in small packages.
