Being short is NOT a problem
It saddens me to see friends on this sub think they are less of a person because they see themselves as short. "Short" is not a defining characteristic of who you are. You are an artist, a student, a brother, a sister, professional. We all wear different hats and "short" does not need to be the thing that defines you. "Short" is not an inherently an insult either. It is whatever you make it out to be. Do you think the man in this couple on the front page would be down on himself if some stranger called him short? I'd have a hard time believing that he would. People can say what they want, but only *you* decide how to react and how to feel.
Maybe you want to be taller so you'd be better with girls. Maybe you just don't want to be short because you don't like being treated like a kid. I've got good news for you: Your height is not your gatekeeper. Learn how to be more charismatic if you want more girls in your life. Become a person who can command a room if you don't want to be treated like a kid. You *can* learn these things with effort. It may not be easy, and it'll probably be harder because of your height. Not every girl likes shorter men and that's ok, but it's your job to go find the ones that do. If you assume everyone thinks a certain way about you, you become that thing on your own.
The truth is, you can't control your height. Do **not** spend your valuable and precious energy reeling over the downsides of something out of your control. You are more than height. Unless you can read minds, you don't know what others' opinions of you are until they tell you. So don't assume it's a bad one.
Normalize being short in your head, because it is.
