How tall are you? Does your height bother you?

[Lightmare]

5'8'' gal here! i'm a mixed half asian/half white where my mum is just over 5 feet and my dad is a russian 6 ft+ tall man. perfect average hah

 

[PyroDawg]

5'7. Have to climb sometimes to reach things, but I'm okay with that.

Being taller has its advantages, but seems to come with problems like fitting into tight seating or hitting your head against things. And is it just me, or are taller people more prone to sprains and joint pain?

 

[issh0mans]

i'm 5'9"
i like being a tall woman but it's hard sometimes cause dudes can be very uh. weird about me being taller than them.​

 

[Piroshi]

I'm 5 feet and I wish I was taller. I hate how my all the jeans/pants I buy are all scrunched on my ankles it looks so ugly I refuse to buy tennis shoes that my shoe collection are just boots boots boots to cover it but then again I love boots since they make me taller. Also my height makes it look like I'm in middle/high school with my baby face.

Same. I'm 4'10" and people assume I'm half my age. I can't count the number of times I've had to explain that, no, I'm not in any grade and I haven't been for nearly a decade.

I also have lots of boots for the same reason. I used to try wearing tennis shoes, but eventually I gave up trying to make them work. I don't mind being short, I just wish I weren't so short that even petite clothes are too long.

I'm 4'9 and my height gives me major insecurity because of how easy it is to push me around physically and emotionally. Sometimes I hate myself for it and how it's the one aspect of my body I can't change. I want people to take me seriously but damn my height is making things hard for me
On the bright side my boyfriend is also short (5'2 to 5'4 I forget) so he's glad to find a girl shorter than him

Oh my god this. I was held up at the entrace to the mall the other day because I looked like a total child to them (children under 21 arent allowed to go outside yet due to quarantine) and I had to explain to two guards that I am, in fact, 21. The other guard even asked for my birthday like he didn't believe me

omg same. I get stopped by strangers and neighbors asking me my age then following it up with are you married? at this point when I'm 40 I'll still look 15

I've actually even asked my mom to cut my jeans and sow them but since the skinniness of the jeans disappear I still end up wearing boots. I really wanna try platform tennis shoes but I've yet to find some decent/cute looking ones. I also used to wear high tops a lot and don't mind them now but I've gotten used to boots for almost 10 years it's so hard to wear something different.

I am 5'0 and share all the other troubles short people here have listed lol. Online shopping for jeans/pants is the worst. At least my boyfriend enjoys the height difference lmao. Oh, does anyone else have friends and family that enjoy patting your head? Just me lol?

 

[nintendoanna]

i’m like 5’3. short in general but for girls i’d say average ? i don’t have too many issues but clothes shopping is sometimes difficult. also reaching some things but i got my tall friends to do that :^)

 

[PearlDragoness]

I'm exactly 6 feet tall. And I'm female. And I'm in middle school (or junior high, whatever you call it). My only problem really is that I don't like it when people think being tall is my main personality trait. Like, when people hear my name, they think "Oh, the tall kid", not "Oh, the smart kid", or "Oh, the artsy kid". Essentially people don't think I have a life.

I'm 5'3", but pants are always too long for my legs. Why do womens pants only have 1 leg length? Do they think all women are the same height? Mens pants have different waist AND leg lengths. I really need to learn how to hem pants.

 

[usa-chan]

well, i'm 5 feet and 2/3, which for an asian girl, it isn't that bad? but as someone who's been the shortest in her class, and have been relentlessly teased by it, i hate it. people always think i'm younger than i really am, which makes them take me less seriously.

also no pants ever fit me! the short length for pants is still too long for me (at least at the stores i shop at) so i'm constantly cuffing them.

if i had an extra 3 inches, i would be satisfied with my height.

 

[PajamaCat]

I'm 5'5 which seems to be pretty average for a girl. It's fine, I don't really think about my height very often tbh.

I’m 5’1 and almost everyone’s taller than me, I wish I was around average height because I’m going to high school this year and I feel like I’m going to look like a tiny ‘lil baby compared to everyone else.

 

[Aisland]

I’m 5’2” and I never had a bad problem with it until one of my “friends” grew taller than me. She is 5’6” and is always trying to belittle me for being short. She either makes rude and unnecessary remarks or tries to be funny by using my head as an armrest. I try to ignore it because she’ll make it into a big deal if I tell her to stop (which will just make me have to apologize for hurting her feelings in order to save the friendship).
Because of her, I kind of wish I was a bit taller so she would stop making comments about my height.

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

I'm 5'6". I don't really have an issue with my height. I do wish I wasn't taller than my boyfriend when I wear heels though XD so I only wear flats now, so we can be the same height or similar. (He's like a cm taller haha)

 

[fluttershy300]

5'3 I don't really care.

 

[jo_electric]

I’m 5’3”. I had a growth spurt way back in elementary school and that was it. The only time I ever felt tall.

 

[marshallows]

5'6"
doesn't really bother me since i am in that (imo) comfortable height range.

 

[Blondiexo]

5’ 4” which works fine for me because I live in a small NYC apartment
