Getting mad thinking about height, how can I properly push away these thoughts?

11 Replies

Hi, lately today mainly I just feel low looking at the mirror seeing how short I am. I stand 5ft-5ft4, but people tend to think im even shorter than that. I just remember when I was around 15 thinking I'd get taller soon and it never happened. Im about as tall as my mom, I think ima little taller, and my dad is about 5 ft6. I just really wanted to relax today, but I can't it sucks. I just keep thinking about everything negative whenever I actually try to forget it.

*5ft3

One of my biggest battles is not being happy with the way I look. There's sooo many things I would like to change. I'm only 5'1, so, I too wish I was taller. My height is the least of my worries compared to other imperfections I have, but, nonetheless, I understand where you're coming from.

Lately its just been the opposite, mostly having to do with people solely telling me they didnt like me because of my height. Thats why its my main concern, im confident about everything else looks wise.

Being short is not an imperfection. I’m 5’1” and my husb is 5’3”. It is what it is. Work on accepting yourself just as you are.

I dont believe it is, I honestly just hate how society is for alot of people with preferences etc.

If people don’t like you because of your height then there’s something wrong with Them, not you! Kindness, integrity, compassion, ethics, values - those are thing that really count. You do you and the haters can bugger off!

Remember your height does not will not nor willnit ever define who you are!!! You are the one that can prove that.

I alsobelieve that if true quality is from the heart. Not height..

Yo, you ain't alone. I'm short too comparing my self with my friends etc. I know that everyone reacts different from each other but I don't find that it is affects anymore now as I ''accepted it''. Remember just THANK(who you believe in) for the strength and healthy life you are given :)

Don't worry about that. My husband is short and super hot and a great guy. You are way more that height. You can't change it so you have to just let it go and be the best you. People that don't want to date you because of that are not the kind of person you want anyway.

Not what you're looking for?
