I am only 5’5″ tall, which is really short for an 18 yrs old male like me. Almost everyone, including girls that I would like to date are much taller than me. I am always ashamed when I am around people. People never take me seriously and I have been bullied and insulted because of my height many times. It amazes me to see that how many people are complete jackasses who judge people by their appearances. It is as if it is taught to them that short people aren’t people, they have no feelings, you can insult and bully them to for sick plesure just because you are a few inches taller. My life is complete hell because of shortness and I think suicide is the only option for me. This is mostly because of genes from my midget parents (my dad is 5’4″ and mom is 4’10”). I still don’t know why short people have kids. I mean, if it is wrong to hurt innocent people, then why is it right and legal for short people to have kids? Don’t they see that their lives are already a plie of shit because of their height? Why do they make babies when they know that these babies will grow to be a short human just like them and live a painful life? I know I am short and so I will never make babies because I don’t want innocent babies to grow into someone short like me and live a painful life for no reason and even if I ever manage to have sex(which I highly doubt) I will take care not to do it without some kind of protection( condoms, pills). It should be illegal for short, ugly and poor people to make babies.

Chances are, the child-like silliness that you’re experiencing will end once you finish school. Young people can create drama and this seems to be inappropriate and stupid conduct on their part. Down the road, your height will probably have a lot less meaning in life. Your knowledge and skills will be what lands you a job, gets you into college, or takes you places that you want to go. I know quite a few couples with height differences who are perfectly happy. Let the kids be kids while you stay on focus to prepare for your future.
As for short people having babies, well… let’s be honest. People who are in love, married, etc. often have sex. Sex typically knows no boundaries. We live in a free society… and just because there are some ignorant people out there doesn’t mean that we should put restrictions on legal, consensual sex. Let the ignorant people act ignorant. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones and karma often fixes problems.
Keep the faith. At 18, there is plenty of time for things to work themselves out.
Thanks for your feedback and lecture. Re-read my comment. Clearly, that wasn’t my intent. Thanks for responding.
Distant road I hope that you were not offended by that crazy fool unluckymale13. I deleted his comment because it was too rude. If you were pained in the slightest because of him then I apologize for that. Your comment was helpful. I am thanking you for helping me. Have a nice day!
It’s cool. In an online forum, things happen. I’m more concerned about you than unluckymale13. If I can do anything, even listen, please let me know.
Well, can you tell me how can I improve my communications skills? It is one of the things that I suck at and it is ruining my life. Is there any kind of book that I can read? Can you help? Thanx again.
Oops. I replied above. See above.
Thank u so much for writing all that. I have been trying very hard to become social and talkative for almost two yrs and tried almost everything you have mentioned but I am not making any progress.
Just keep working at it. That’s what I’ve been trying to do. It continues to be a work in progress. If you have a rough time, catch your breath and skip that moment. There will always be another opportunity to engage in conversation. Try to let it come naturally. It’s not the easiest thing in the world… and it involves things like confidence, trust, etc. which take time to build.
I have Social Anxiety so it’s a work in progress for me.
When it comes to communicating with new people, I typically make small talk about safe topics (weather, local sports, etc.) and build from there. If it’s an especially cold day, it’s easy to make a comment like “Is it cold enough for you?!” It’s small talk but it’s a small step toward communicating. It could be while waiting on line at the grocery store, waiting for the bus, or picking up an item at the store. Simple communication but still communication.
The local library often has roundtable discussions on various topics. The groups are typically small and I’m comfortable enough to go. I can deal with communicating in small groups and it’s good practice for me. The groups last about an hour so I know that I won’t get “stuck” there.
As I get comfortable with people, I may have extended conversations. At the library for example, I stuck around after a discussion and had a decent conversation with one of the attendees. It wasn’t about the most serious topics on the planet but it was something to talk about.
If I visit the bank, the dry cleaners, the supermarket, etc., I try to make small talk with whoever is waiting on me. Even though it’s a small and short conversation, it’s something. Having been a social isolate for the past few years, I need to do all the communicating I can do. Like you said, it can wreck your life.
I’ve done Google searches about Social Anxiety and Communication Strategies and there are some decent sites out there. I’m one of those people who are better practicing stuff than reading it. If your hesitation in communication is due to some type of anxiety, there are Social Anxiety Forums that let members post their difficulties in various situations and others chime in with suggestions and feedback. It can be helpful.
It’s not easy. Truly, it isn’t. It’s one of those things you just have to practice and get steadily more comfortable at. For whatever reason, I’m pretty solid at communicating online but I need to get the in-person communication taken care of. In the real world, communication is key.
I’d probably do you lol I’m also 5’5″ and guys my size are my thing. My measurements are 37″ 27″ 37″ DD and I’m a brunette, brown eyes, and glasses. Just think some woman you don’t even know would be interested in you just for your height.
Wow you dont know how much that means to me! You probably the first woman who has talked to me about being interested in me. Thank u so much 🙂 god bless you (if he exists).
i’d be interested in you but i’m probably way too big haha people always ask me do i play basketball haha because they look like kids when they stand next to me 😛
I know what it’s like to be treated poorly, laughed at, bullied and taken for a ride for my appearance. It sucks. It destroys confidence. For some people your height won’t matter one bit, they’re around and you will find them. Try to remember that you are worthwhile though it can be hard when people take you down (something I’ve had constantly for the past 15 years). Distant.road’s advice is spot on. You’re good value distant.road and a very genuine, smart person 🙂
You are smart too, kontin. Thanx for helping.
I feel your pain. I’m 5’6 myself and also carry an unfavorable genes, both in height and facial appearance. I like your remark about stopping poor and ugly people from having kids. It may sound harsh, but it’s the most logical conclusions. %95 of the people think with emotions, not logic, that’s why we end up with so many issues in this society such as starving children in Africa and other nonsense. Truth is that appearance plays a top priority in attraction nowadays, prioritizing confidence is just a cheap brainwash tactic made up by ugly people to falsely feel better about themselves. “Beautiful no matter what they say”? Bullshit. 9/10 girls will pick a taller, more handsome guy even if he has the worst attitude on the planet. What can we do? As you said, not commit the same mistakes as our parents and stop oneself from reproducing. Bad genes = no children. I won’t spread my inferior genes to my kids for future suffering, that’s selfish. Step 2 is to consider a plastic surgery. Doctors can create a fascinating miracles nowadays, especially in countries such as Korea. Height-wise there is a limb elongating surgery for it too, but it makes you look disproportionate due to your legs becoming longer but torso remaining short. I wouldn’t recommend it. Attractive face is more important than tall height and will make up for it, just look at celebs such as Zac Efron who is short yet have girls drooling over him because he’s handsome.
And finally we must accept that life sucks and not build a false hopes around it. I keep the surgery option in mind but also strongly feel suicidal. This world, this society is nothing but a revolving garbage that is desperate for extinction. Nothing wrong with suicide, it’s honorable unlike living among the parasites. Choose your own path. Just remember to think with logic and not emotions.
just means you can fit into tight spaces. embrace your height.
